what is acupressure?

Acupressure is another treatment/therapy that has been around for thousands of years, making it (just like all holistic treatments) a traditional and natural way of healing. It involves pressure being applied to different parts around the body called 'Acupoints'. 

Each point corresponds to a different body part, for example the point at the base of the skull actually corresponds to the Gallbladder and the point just below the knee at the front of the leg corresponds to the stomach.  There are literally hundreds of Acupoints around the body!

By using pressure on a point, it is said to release the energy blockages that are causing suffering and pain. It works similar to Reflexology but works around the whole body instead of focusing on the feet or hands. It can be used to release both physical and emotional blockages. 

Acupressure is also similar to Acupuncture but instead of using needles, pressure is applied instead. With Acupuncture small needles are inserted into the Acupoints and left there for a period of time. Even though this method is also extremely effective I prefer Acupressure so that I can merge it with Aromatherapy massage

Benefits of Acupressure are 

Reliving stress
Soothes muscles and joints
Improves sleep 
Relives headaches
Relieves anxiety 
Provides comfort during massage
Relaxes the mind and body 
Clears blockages
Releases negative toxins

Improves mental health 

Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless. Accupressure is a wonderful way to promote natural healing around the body and to relax the mind, body and soul together, which is just what Bliss Healing is about!
