Acupressure 101
What is Acupressure?
Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that has been inherited from
generation to generation for over three thousand years in China. It consists in
locating particular areas of the body and stimulating these areas underneath the
skin with a system of massages. This stimulation alters some processes and
certain biochemical and physiological conditions that help you feel better.

In other words, Acupressure is a massage made in specific points located along
the body with the purpose of alleviating a variety of symptoms and pains.
Sounds too simple? It is, just read a bit more and see how it works its magic and
what it can do for you.

Acupressure is usually used for treating pain in general, like headaches, back
pain, arthritis, flu, asthma, nervous tension and sinusitis. It also works amazingly
well for insomnia, nervousness and nausea.

Today we know that acupressure releases natural analgesics against pain like
endorphins, and these work augmenting our sensation of wellness and blocking
transmissions and signs of pain through the nerves. But we’ll get into this in just
a moment.
Have you heard of acupuncture? Don’t worry just yet, I promise you won’t be
needing needles for this. This technique has its origin in the ancient China and is
related with acupuncture. Even though Acupressure and acupuncture work with
the same points in the body, in acupressure we use our fingers to apply pressure
to eliminate symptoms instead of needles.

For this reason, many people refer to Acupressure as the “needless
acupuncture.” This means you can get all the benefits of acupuncture, but only
using your fingers.
Acupressure Fundamentals
You are energy; your body is energy. There’s a flow of energy that runs through
your system. It’s what gives you life, and this vital energy inside of you moves
through invisible channels in the organism.

What Acupressure does is liberate these channels to prevent blockage, pain and
disease.

You see, in Acupressure, as in all medicinal techniques that come from China,
the body is considered as a small part of the universe, and it’s subject to its laws,
harmony and balance principles. This is why they are based in ideas like the yin
and yang

The yin is associated with cold, the feminine, descending energy, the inside,
darkness and humidity. The yang can be described as heat, male, active, upwards
energy, the outside, light and dryness. Now, the Qi is the vital energy found in
foods, air, water, and sunlight. The Qi moves through the body in channels
called meridians.
There are twelve great meridians in the body, and they correspond to the twelve
main organs classified by Chinese medicine. When the Qi energy is not flowing
properly, is because there’s an unbalance in the organs, and this is when sickness
appears in your body.

Chinese medicine doesn't distinguish among veins, arteries and nerves. It
explains the functioning of the human body as a group of strengths that needs to
be balanced in order to regulate all vital functions. Any health symptom implies
there’s an energy unbalance, so it’s necessary to complement the yin and yang
with each other.

Acupressure points of treatment are found along the meridians , and when
there’s sickness your Qi, which travels through the meridians is debilitated.

When you interact with these points, you can reduce the pain located in the way
of these meridians . There are thousands of points that can be located along the
body, but don’t worry you don’t need to know them all! We’ll leave that for
people that have a profound knowledge of this technique, and we’ll focus only in
the miracle points that will alleviate your headaches and migraine.

How Does Acupressure Works?
As you already know, there are several points of pressure that can be easily
located for the treatment of common ailments in diverse parts of the body. There
are many ways of working these points; pressure can be applied with the thumbs,
fingers, knees and the palm of the hands. Depending on the causes, the
alleviation of pain can be immediate, and some other problems that are more
persistent can take a little longer to heal.
