Acupressure is a part of traditional Chinese medicine derived from acupuncture. In acupressure physical pressure is applied to acupuncture points on the body. Acupressure says that the body has 14 Meridian passes for energy called chi. An imbalance in the hot and cold elements of the body, more known as the imbalance between yin and yang, can cause an energy block, and it couses the pain and all sorts of diseases. The purpose of acupressure is to remove these blockages by pressure on specific points along the meridians to free energy flow through the 14 meridians. This helps maintaining the health and encourages the natural ability of the body to self-cure.
