Acupressure is a traditional healing technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints. These points are believed to be connected to energy pathways, or meridians, that influence overall health. By stimulating these points, acupressure aims to promote relaxation, relieve pain, and improve circulation. Practiced for thousands of years, acupressure is often used to address various conditions, including headaches, stress, and digestive issues. It can be performed by trained practitioners or individuals on themselves, making it a versatile and accessible form of complementary therapy.
