Acupressure is believed to relieve any type of pain by simply pressing on the points of your palm. It’s free, non-invasive, and seemingly effective. But is it too good to be true? It has been around for over 5,000 years.
You will have to go back 5,000 years in history to find out where acupressure began in ancient China. It is no coincidence that our human instinct is to apply pressure where the pain is. Likewise, this is how acupressure was born.
People have found that pressing certain points on your body will not only relieve the pain in that area, it will also affect other parts of your body.
It has been said that at the beginning of Chinese history, some soldiers injured by arrows or stones reported that many symptoms of the disease simply disappeared. Doctors could not make a logical connection between the new trauma and the restoration of their health.
Through many years of trial and error, people have found ways to relieve their pain by pressing on certain points on their bodies that are directly related to other areas.
Even today, many people are turning to acupressure and acupuncture to relieve pain as an alternative to dangerous pain relievers with a long list of side effects. After all, painkillers are one of the main causes of addiction.
Try acupressure for yourself. The best part of acupressure is that you can do it yourself and it costs nothing (especially for your health). So there is no reason not to try.
