Acupressure (Needless Acupuncture) 

• Similar to acupuncture, except that it uses fingertip pressure instead of needles.
• A practitioner applies pressure to specific acupressure points to restore healthy energy flow. The points they choose depends on your symptoms.
• A good option asides from acupuncture for children or someone with a fear of needles
• The goal of acupressure (as well as other Chinese Medicine treatments), is to encourage the movement of qi ("life energy") through the 14 channels (meridians) inside the body.
• If this energy flow is blocked, the body can no longer maintain the balance that is needed to maintain high energy and deal with health issues.
• Acupressure can be very effective in helping with nausea and vomiting after surgery or invasive medical procedures. Acupressure can also help in reducing the pain.
