Benefits of AcupressureAcupressure is a form of touch therapy that utilizes the principles of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
In acupressure, the same points on the body are used as in acupuncture, but are stimulated with finger pressure instead of with the insertion of needles. Acupressure is used to relieve a variety of symptoms and pain. Acupressure can help you...
More benefits of acupressure
Many people try acupressure for the first time to manage symptoms of a condition, such as:
The points used in acupressure massage exist among a network called meridians, similar to the network of veins and arteries in the body. These meridians are basically the highways on which chi (life energy) flows throughout the body.
Sometimes pressure is needed at these points to clear up blockages and help ensure a healthy, balanced and harmonious flow of energy through the meridians. The points and meridians constitutes an extensive network throughout the body. Therapists use their knowledge of this network to address specific disorders and diseases in patients. One point, for example, called the Gallbladder Channel (GB20, Fengchi) exists at the base of the skull where the neck joins the back. Applying pressure there can help with a variety of ailments, from the common cold to high blood pressure. The Kidney Channel (KI3, Taixi) sits just behind the inner ankle. It is used to treat issues ranging from asthma to lower back pain. There are 14 main channels. Acupressure may be used alongside other styles of massage therapy or as a complement to another holistic treatment, such as chiropractic care. Acupressure is a natural proven way to treat illness.Science has proven that the meridians in the body exist although they are not physical as the veins and arteries are.
Scientific research from the Seoul National University confirms that they exist. North Korean scientist Dr. Kim Bong Han showed that our bodies had meridians in the 1960s. He found tubes just beyond the blood and lymphatic vessels. Present Korean researchers found that the Meridian System is our Primo Vascular system. They believe that it channels energy flow. Also, Chinese researchers have shown energy flow through the meridian system using fluorescent light. $77 for Acupressure (1 hour session) Call (or text) Renee 435-531-0366

There are 12 specific meridians your therapist will work along:
Acupressure involves accessing the meridian system through specific points along the meridian lines. Pressing these points helps to increase the bodies energy and ability to function properly.
1. Lungs- First of all is the lung meridian. This location is responsible for energy intake and breathing. A malfunctioning of this acupoint results in infections and inflammation. Also, the body becomes open to skin diseases.
2. Large Intestine- Then, we have the Large Intestine Meridian. The large intestine separates water from waste. An imbalance in this area leads to stomach pains. Emotionally, a person may find it difficult to let go of misgivings or hurts.
3. Spleen- The spleen ensures that the body gets enough nutrients. It also regulates blood flow. A malfunctioning spleen meridian will result in digestive issues, weak muscles, and fatigue. It may also cause brain fog.
4. The Stomach Meridian- Digestive problems have their origins in, of course, the stomach. This organ digests food and circulates energy to the spleen and intestines. Imbalances in this area can cause anxiety.
5. Heart- The heart meridian is also essential to our health. The heart circulates blood to the other organs in the body. A non-working heart meridian results in chest pains, irritability, and sleeplessness. It also brings about mental and emotional disorders.
6. Small Intestine- Furthermore, there is the small intestine channel. This Meridian circulates energy from food after the digestive system breaks it down. An unresponsive heart meridian may result in weakness, swollen lymph nodes, stiff shoulders, acne, nerve pain, indigestion, and bloat.
7. The Bladder- Another vital point is the bladder meridian.The bladder removes liquid waste (urea) from the body. If it’s not working, you may get a stiff neck. Your shoulders and back may ache as well. It’s also responsible for urinary diseases.
8. Kidney- The kidneys offer sexual energy. It controls how the reproductive system develops.This meridian is also responsible for bone marrow and blood flow. Genital disorders result when this acupoint breaks down. It controls your willpower as well.
9. Pericardium- The Pericardium, (also known as the sex meridian) envelops and protects the heart. It lubricates this organ and draws excess energy from it. It stops the heart from being too energized.
10. The Triple Warner- The Triple Warner Meridian regulates metabolism and overall well-being. An imbalance of this meridian can cause many disorders.
11. The Liver- The liver meridian stores energy and controls how it flows through your body. A flaw in this meridian will cause your ligaments to become tense. It may also cause disorders like dry skin, PMS, vertigo, stiff joints, and headaches.
12. The Gallbladder- The Gallbladder Meridian eliminates bile from the liver. You may get bloat, liver pains, and jaundice if it doesn’t work.

History of Acupressure |
Acupressure was developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago, Acupressure is a form of Chinese medicine that applies pressure to key healing points on the body, stimulating a person’s self-healing abilities and encouraging energy flow.
Acupressure uses the same meridian pathways and pressure points as acupuncture. However, in acupressure your therapist will use finger pressure instead of needles to relieve pain and help clients achieve greater health. |
What to Expect
|
While in an Acupressure session, clients remain fully clothed during sessions and should not experience any pain from the finger pressure.
Acupressure sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes, with some clients feeling better after a single session and others needing to return for a series of appointments. |

Here is a great article which explains the difference between Western and Eastern Medicine:
WESTERN VS. EASTERN MEDICINE
On June 27, 2013 by Physical Culturist
Western medicine sees the body as a machine, where you try to fix a broken part or take it out.
In Eastern Medicine, the body is seen as a garden. If the leaves are wilting or turning brown, you examine the condition of the soil, see if the plant is getting enough water & sun or if the roots are being impinged upon.
You don’t just paint the leaves green! From the classic book on Chinese Med ‘Between Heaven and Earth’.
With all the illnesses and complications man-made drugs can cause, you may be curious about 10 benefits of herbal medicine.
Why would you consider herbal treatments for an illness rather than manufactured drugs?
Herbs such as plantago psyllium seed, rhubarb juice, aloe vera, garlic and even boiled onionskin, in addition to hundreds of other, have proven benefits.
These herbs have been found to cleanse the colon, improve the body’s natural ability to absorb food, boost the immune system and improve digestion. If that doesn’t make you want to consider going natural, just look at the additional 10 medicinal benefits of herbs listed below.
Herbal medicine can be used to prevent blood circulation problems. High blood pressure, varicose veins, angina and ulcers can be cured with the help of herbal medicines such as garlic, hawthorn, capsicum, motherwort and ginger.
Herbal medicine can be used as a natural method to control weight and reduce the amount of fat the body stores. Burdock root, chickweed, flax seed, fennel root, alfalfa, hawthorn and numerous other herbs have been successful when used to naturally reduce body weight.
Herbal medicine can be used to diminish or prevent the effects of allergies, such as allergies to food, insects, dust mites, dust and even pollen. Using nettle, butterbur, astragalus or ephedrine with caution can control allergic reactions to naturally occurring matter in the air.
Herbal medicines such as bitter melon, garlic, onion, gingko balboa, cinnamon and numerous others can be used to control blood sugar levels. This can be of great help to diabetic patients.
Using herbal medicines such as goldenseal, chamomile, slippery elm bark and dandelion can strengthen the body’s immune system. Strengthening the immune system will provide the body with the ability to fight foreign illnesses and invaders.
Herbal medicines such as ginseng, feverfew, garlic and spearmint can help the body as well. They can help in fighting migraines and indigestion and can increase stamina and protect the liver from damage due to toxins introduced in food.
Got a cold or sinus infection? Herbal medicines such as slippery elm bark, chamomile and licorice can ease the discomfort and pain of sore throats and prevent coughs.
For the woman suffering with menstrual pain or PMS, herbal medicine received from drinking dandelion tea, slippery elm bark and chamomile can help. Such remedies will ease cramps and pain.
Herbal medicines introduced into the body at an early stage in life can offset the issues occurring from preservatives in food. Cancer has been known to be hindered by using herbs regularly.
Herbal medicines given to young children when they are born and fed regularly have been known to increase the child’s level of intelligence. Studying children who have been fed herbs from birth has shown increased intelligence even higher achievement in school.
Much too often, we pop a pill that controls the issue at hand. Yet, that same pill has the potential to cause several other health issues. So we go spiraling out of control when trying to cure a simple headache. Before you realize what’s happening, your medicine cabinet has gone from one prescription drug to several. With each doctor visit, more prescription drugs are added. Herbal medicines use products grown from the earth in their natural state and work to heal or minimize medical problems and strengthen the body‘s natural ability to prevent illness.
We need to remember to treat the CAUSE of the illness, rather than just masking symptoms with dangerous chemicals.
“Big Pharma” profits off of the population being sick.
Their income is solely generated from the illness of us all.
Big Pharma pushes doctors to overprescribe drugs, study finds:

Big Pharma Routinely Suppresses Data from Clinical Trials—but FDA Approves These Dangerous Drugs Anyway!
http://www.anh-usa.org/big-pharma-suppresses-data/
Cancer is the only disease that has been defeated dozens of times without anyone knowing it. In the last 100 years, dozens of doctors, scientists, and researchers have developed diverse and effective solutions against cancer only to be thwarted by the political and propaganda power of the drug-dominated medical profession. This is the story of Essiac, Hoxsey, Laetrile, Shark Cartilage, Mistletoe, and Bicarbonate of Soda all put together in a stunning overview that leaves no doubt that inexpensive cures for cancer do exist but are systematically blocked by Big Pharma because they come from nature and cannot be patented.

Holistic Medicine
Holistic Medicine: On the other hand, holistic medicine, also known as alternative or complementary medicine, evaluates the entire person, physical (body) and non-physical (mind), and seeks to heal any imbalances between the two.
Holistic medicine realizes views the body as a complex system that is affected of both internal and external factors.
It emphasizes the body's own ability to heal itself, as well promoting healthy lifestyle changes and preferring naturally occurring remedies, such as meditation and herbal medicines, to synthetically produced compounds. Because it is not reductionist in nature, holistic medicine can also be used as a counterpart to modern medicine. For example, one of the most common forms of complementary medicine is acupuncture. Acupuncture has been found to be successful in pain management, so many people utilize it after conventional surgery to treat pain.
Different Philosophy, Different Medicine: The issue that many have with the modern medicine is that its science and philosophy purposely excludes anything that does not fit its paradigm of physical reductionism. It cannot, by its very definition, consider that humans have both physical and non-physical essences. Because of this, many people feel that mainstream western medicine fails to evaluate them as a complete human being. As result, many people are increasingly turning to holistic medicine.
Modern medicine is synonymous with Western medicine, even if it originates in the East. It is referred to as being “Western,” because modern science is rooted in the rationalist philosophy of European Enlightenment. Similarly, holistic medicine is often synonymous with Traditional Chinese or Oriental Medicine. This not to say that all alternative medicine is Oriental or Chinese in origin, but rather that many of core principles and practices are based on the paradigms of Traditional Chinese Philosophy. Because of this, it is important to understand Traditional Chinese philosophy and views of the body. In the next installment of this series, we will cover the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
