This says it all for any skeptics who are against this treatment method as everyone knows WHO does not recognize any treatment without considerable evidences. Now let us have a look at the use of acupressure for common day-day ailments.

Dandruff : This is a very common yet embarrassing and recurring problem for both men and women. Treating dandruff is possible and effective with Acupressure. Dandruff occurs due to congestion or blockage of the vital energy due to several reasons like lack of sleep. Thus mild pressure or a gently massage on the affected area the scalp would give a relief from dandruff. Not only that it also relaxes the mind and body and gives a peaceful sleep which is a vital contributing factor in alleviating dandruff.

Back Ache : To get relief from constant back ache the point to be stimulated for smooth energy flow is the B54. This point lies exactly in the middle of the crease behind the knees. Giving pressure on these points (both the legs) gives immediate relief from pain. It’s advisable to lie down relaxed for a few minutes after this.

Frozen Shoulder Pain and Back Pain : Shiastu is a massaging technique which is a part or a method of acupressure. Shiastu massage effectively treats back ache and frozen shoulder pain.

Sinus : Sinus can be treated very effectively with acupressure. The point located at tip of the eyebrow & the finger tips is used to treat sinus and pain related to it.

Tips to follow when using Acupressure : Drink lots of water once you get up. Drink fresh fruit juice everyday if possible. Avoid Non-Veg and Fried foods as much as possible. Acupressure should be done thirty minutes prior to food or two hours after food.

Not only that fever, cold, nausea, BP and lots more are effectively treated through acupressure. Acupressure not only cures or relieves pain it also prevents and detects any problem in our body at early stages. Regular acupressure everyday for ten to fifteen minutes a day at your convenient timings can work wonders in your health. Acupressure advocates consumption if two and half litres a day minimum as water has an important role in purification. Use this healing art lead a healthy and happy life!!

Like I said earlier the universal controlling energy is “chi” and by regulating this energy or channelizing this energy we can achieve perfect health.

Reflexology for healthy lifestyle: Reflexology practitioners suggest giving pressure to all the points in the hand using one of the instruments available in the market everyday for five to fifteen minutes to maintain a healthy body. With reflexology every organ can be vitalized and overall functioning is improved.

Detection of diseases with Reflexology: A reflexology practitioner is able to detect the exact problem including major diseases like cancer or heart attack. Also there are specific points which pertain to overall immunity enhancement and pain relief which can be used as complimentary treatment with other treatments.

Scientific approach?: Reflexology does not have any scientific proof or base. Till date there is no solid scientific proof or evidence of the efficiency. Scientists have strictly condemned it’s use as a main treatment stream for serious complications. Though they claim it’s not efficient there are evidences of reflexology being used for centuries.

A reflexologist detects the problem using the stress clues that are seen as visual signs of knobby toes etc. The reflexogist then fixes a time and targets the area of stress and applies a proper pressure technique to relax and ease out the stress thus giving relief to the patient. The patient is generally relaxed as the treatment is generally not too painful and most of the times bearable and relaxation or relief is achieved during the treatment itself.

There are lot of people who speak for and against this treatment methodology and unlike acupressure which has been accepted as a treatment method this is outright rejected by many. There are lot of self-help books available in the market which can go a long way in learning and practicing this art.
