Inspired on the principles of acupuncture (but no with scary needles), Acupressure is a complementary medical treatment blend of acupuncture and pressure. The Acupressure Mat works by stimulating specific pressure points located along the lines of energy which run through the body, called meridians. There are 14 main meridian lines each of which corresponds to an individual organ of the body. This acupressure treatment helps also to release endorphins which is a feel good and natural pain relief hormone in our body which gives acupressure treatment its said health benefits.
