Facts About Use Of Acupressure Treatment

By Cherry Mercer


For quite some time, acupressure treatment has been used in medicine to heal many disorders. This curative measure has its origins in ancient Chinese medicine. This technique is premised on belief that every organism has energy that is spread out its entire body via meridians. Accordingly, it is possible to deploy and regulate this energy for curative purposes.

The meridians are channels via which energy flows to every system, organ or part. This flow is sustained by constant blood circulation and flow of other solutions. Sometimes this arrangement fails and obstructions in these channels occur. Lingering obstructions are hard to detect since the system may adapt a mechanism insusceptible against them. Severe obstructions are delicate, blistering and inflamed.

Disruption of life force causes several disorders to arise. However, with its subtle manipulation acupressure stimulates natural healing of the body. This ensures uninterrupted flow of energy, which in turn boosts the immune system. This treatment induces the brain to release a natural analgesic known as endorphin and improves flow of oxygen in bloodstream thus curing various ailments.

Several techniques are used in application of this therapy. These include use of thumbs, base of hands and fingers. Sometimes knees and elbows are also applied. A variety of methods are available such as pressing scrubbing, chaffing, kneading, rub rolling, pushing, rubbing, grasping, pushing and wiping. These methods are applied with light or deep force together with a gentle massage for effectiveness.

These techniques are used to check a variety of disorders. This includes asthma and acne control, chronic backaches and headaches, neck and joint pain, insomnia, heartburn among many others. Every part requires a different amount of force. If the stress applied is too intense, request the health care expert to reduce it.

For acute disorders such as headaches, bloating, constipation, joint and neck pains light pressure is used. The points are held firmly with a finger, slowly but steadily. Pressure is applied at right angles to the middle of the area worked on. This is stretched for a while to give the focal area time to respond or stimulate healing process.

Generally, profound strain is used to recuperate system balance. This is directed at nodular and tender parts of the organism. It is apt to relieve disorders resulting from modern living. Modern living is so demanding and leaves most of people with pains and aches all over. At times pulsation is felt in some areas where the application is made or circulation regulated.

It is possible to operate two sections at the same time and thus attain optimal benefits. Every hand operates a different section whereas the superseding section is allowed to gain uttermost flow. Pressure may be applied to two sides of body as long as the points are identified. In this respect, a few seconds at each point will suffice to give respite.

Just like other natural therapies acupressure treatment regulates, balances and normalizes bodily functions. This technique is very beneficial and has the primary advantage of being a self access therapy. Every technique used in this therapy can be done at home when the need arises to relieve pain. It is a personal first aid technique to open up cleansing and healing channels.
