Facts About Use Of Acupressure Treatment

By Cherry Mercer


For quite some time, acupressure treatment has been used in medicine to heal many disorders. This curative measure has its origins in ancient Chinese medicine. This technique is premised on belief that every organism has energy that is spread out its entire body via meridians. Accordingly, it is possible to deploy and regulate this energy for curative purposes.

The meridians in essence are energy paths located in every part or attached to an organ or system Acute or chronic blockages cause disruption of energy flow. This flow is ensured by flow of blood and other fluids throughout the organism. Serious impasses are usually delicate, searing and swollen. Prolonged snarls are difficult to locate since the system may adapt a way of not sensing them.

Disruption of life force causes several disorders to arise. However, with its subtle manipulation acupressure stimulates natural healing of the body. This ensures uninterrupted flow of energy, which in turn boosts the immune system. This treatment induces the brain to release a natural analgesic known as endorphin and improves flow of oxygen in bloodstream thus curing various ailments.

Thumbs, fingers and base of hands are normally used to apply compression at different points. Some techniques require the use of elbows and knees at times. Several techniques are used in this treatment. This includes pressing, pushing, rubbing, kneading, grasping, patting, wiping, chafing, scrubbing and rub rolling. Light or deep compression along with gentle massage is given.

Pressure is exerted in varied proportions to different parts or organs. Where the strain is unbearable the patient should request the physician to control it. These methods are effectual in healing certain disorders. These include heartburn, insomnia, chronic backaches and headaches, joint and neck pains among others.

For acute disorders such as headaches, bloating, constipation, joint and neck pains light pressure is used. The points are held firmly with a finger, slowly but steadily. Pressure is applied at right angles to the middle of the area worked on. This is stretched for a while to give the focal area time to respond or stimulate healing process.

Generally, profound strain is used to recuperate system balance. This is directed at nodular and tender parts of the organism. It is apt to relieve disorders resulting from modern living. Modern living is so demanding and leaves most of people with pains and aches all over. At times pulsation is felt in some areas where the application is made or circulation regulated.

To obtain optimum benefits you can work on two areas simultaneously at the same time. Each hand stimulates a different part while the area across gets extreme flow of energy. It is possible to duplicate pressure on two flanks of body after locating the points. In general, points need triggering a few seconds each in order to get swift release.

Just like other natural therapies acupressure treatment regulates, balances and normalizes bodily functions. This technique is very beneficial and has the primary advantage of being a self access therapy. Every technique used in this therapy can be done at home when the need arises to relieve pain. It is a personal first aid technique to open up cleansing and healing channels.
