I viewed acupressure as the non-scary cousin of acupuncture. It was a non-invasive self-treatment. If it doesn't work at least I get a massage out of it!
I have always been fascinated about the body and how it works. I borrowed this book at the same time as I was researching trigger points. Both very different approaches on how to treat the body - *trigger points focus on treating sore muscles
*acupressure focuses on meridians that can bring about physiological changes in the body and affect mental and emotional states.
As an aside, I became intrigued with reflexology as well, because I would massage my fingertips not knowing that fingertips corresponded to your head/sinus. I always suffered from blocked sinuses and sinus headaches and this always felt good for some reason. Coincidence??
This book is well set out and organised in a way to describe what acupressure is, what it hopes to achieve and how to administer it.
The book also provides a routine that you can follow to promote wellness and/or treat or prevent certain ailments. I also discovered the points to avoid overstimulating if you have high blood pressure or if you are pregnant to avoid early labour! Whether these points can affect you that profoundly we will have to wait and see...
Certain acupoints can help with a number of ailments. It's just a matter of remembering where they all are and getting into the habit of stimulating these points for relief.
