Acupressure:The body and all matter is made up of electro-magnetic forces. It was ironically western scientists who ingeniously verified the existence of electro- magnetism which provided a logical explanation for the positive results from acupuncture and acupressure therapy.It has a rapport with the energy of the body and can travel through the body like other forms of electricity, sound, and waveforms of energy. When needles or pressure are used, they act as antennae that conduct the electro- magnetic energy from the air into the body. Acupressure massage can be very effective both as prevention and as a treatment for many health conditions. Acupressure techniques have been used to provide quick, cost- free, and effective relief from many symptoms.
