Acupressure Or Acupuncture - Fingers Or Needles By Brian Winkels

[Guest guest]

An interesting article about Acupuncture and Acupressure. Personally I

like Acupressure as there is no needles involved and it is something

which I can do it on my own as what is suggested by the author.

Acupuncture goes down directly to the exact Acupuncture point and thus

needs to be practiced only by a skilled professional whereas Acupressure

requires less precision. However, a word of caution, before you try it

out on your own, seek professional help first as Acupressure may not be

suitable in certain situations and illnesses.

 

Acupressure and acupuncture are not one in same techniques. They differ

slightly because acupuncture makes use of thin needles in approaching

health concerns while acupressure never breaks the skin. On the other

hand, they do a have a few things in common. For instance, both are

centered on touching meridians which carry energy or chi along those

meridians right through an individuals' body.

 

Traditional (TCM) clearly states that illness occurs

due to the blockage of chi in any of fourteen different meridians.

Acupressure and acupuncture both advocate the free flow of energy

without obstructions.

A splendid DIY guide on acupressure:

 

Acupressure's Potent Points

Michael Reed Gach

 

Really easy to follow texts and pictures.

Should be part of the Care of the Body

curriculum in grade 2 or so.

I have to write an essay about that some

day.
