Acupressure is an ancient therapeutic technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Similar to acupuncture, acupressure is based on the belief that the body’s energy, or "qi" (chi), flows along pathways called meridians, and by pressing on certain points, blockages can be cleared, restoring balance and promoting health. Acupressure is often used to alleviate pain, reduce stress, improve circulation, and address a variety of conditions, including headaches, muscle tension, anxiety, and digestive issues. It can be performed using the fingers, palms, or elbows, and is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that is often practiced for relaxation and overall well-being.
