ACUPRESSURE

Acupressure belongs to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as one of the components of alternative treatments. It is defined as a technique which applies pressure on acu points on human body by using finger, palms or other devices to balance the vital energy flows called Qi through meridians. Acupressure is often recommended as a symptomatic treatment for a wide range of conditions, for example, arthritis, claustrophobia, the common cold, gastrointestinal problems, gynecological complaints, insomnia, laryngitis, neuralgia, sciatica, renal disease, stuttering, sweating, tinnitus, and vertigo.
