Introduction to Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing technique that uses pressure on meridian points to relieve pain and balance the body's energy. It is similar to acupuncture but uses hands instead of needles. Acupressure addresses the whole person, promoting relaxation, circulation, and stress relief. It is beneficial for various ailments like headaches and arthritis. Martial artists use it for health and self-defense. While Western science lacks evidence for its theories, some studies suggest acupressure may release endorphins, aiding in pain relief.
