Unlocking the Healing Power of Acupressure — A Beginner’s Guide
Introduction
In today’s fast-paced world, stress, body pain, and fatigue have become part of daily life. Many people now prefer natural healing methods instead of heavy medications. Acupressure is one such ancient, effective, and side-effect-free therapy that restores the body’s balance and promotes overall health.
What Is Acupressure?
Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that uses gentle pressure on specific points of the body known as “acupoints.” These points lie along invisible energy pathways called meridians. When these energy channels are blocked, you may experience pain, stress, or sickness. By pressing these points, the flow of energy is restored, helping the body heal naturally.
A Glimpse into Its History
Acupressure has its roots in ancient Eastern medicine, practiced for over 5,000 years in China, Japan, and India. It is often referred to as the “mother of acupuncture,” as it uses the same healing points but without needles.

- Reduces muscle and joint pain
