Natural Effective Pain Relief Using Acupuncture & Acupressure | Acupressure Mats

Acupuncture is now a popular alternative therapy for natural pain relief.   Acupuncture has been used in China for over 2,000 years , making it one of the oldest known, and most commonly used medical procedures in the world. 

Acupuncture has become very popular in the United States in the past 20 years with over 3.2 million Americans using acupuncture every year. At a conference on acupuncture held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)  a Consensus Development Conference on Acupuncture stated that "acupuncture is being "widely" practiced by thousands of physicians, dentists, acupuncturists, and other practitioners – for relief or prevention of pain and for various other health conditions."

In 1996, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners.

There have been many studies on acupuncture's potential health benefits for a wide range of conditions.  including a National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine funded study which showed that acupuncture provides pain relief, improves function for people with osteoarthritis of the knee, and is an effective complement to standard care.

Acupuncture works through regulating the nervous system, and increasing the production and activity of pain-killing biochemicals such as endorphins and immune system cells in the body.

Acupressure is also an ancient Chinese healing method that involves applying pressure to specific acupressure points on the body that move along "energy channels" throughout the body called meridians. The human body is believed to have between 12 and 20 meridians that carry energy throughout the body.   Acupressure uses the same principles as acupuncture to stimulate the acupressure points, but uses non-penetrative pressure instead of needles.

Acupressure is an effective means of relieving pain naturally, without the use of powerful pharmaceutical drugs. Acupressure can be applied using hands and fingers or, acupressure tools such as pointers and acupressure mats.  Many people have had great results using acupressure for back pain, neck pain, headaches and  fibromyalgia.

In a recent study by the Centre for Complementary Medicine Research,   Pain intensity was reduced in the  group using acupressure compared with a placebo control, and a combined control.  The study concluded that "acupressure may have a role with reducing pain, increasing satisfaction with pain management and reduced use of pharmacological management."

Millions of people worldwide agree that acupressure really works and have found an easy to use tool called the Acupressure Mat, that they can use in the comfort of their home.  These acupressure mats have gained a lot of popularity lately and have been featured on TV shows such as the Dr. Oz Show,  ABC News, CBS news, and The New York Times.  Acupressure mats are affordable at around $29.99 per acupressure mat.  More information is available at www.heavenlymats.com where you can also buy your high quality Heavenly Acupressure Mats.
