Why Acupressure?

Acupressure:  the Portal where Mind, Body and Spirit Connect.
 Many alternative healing practices have been in use prior to the birth of Christ.   All alternative therapy forms -  whether it is acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, herbology, reflexology or massage -  have survived many changes in political and social climates and the associated validation, or not, by those in power.   
 Currently there is an up-swelling of interest in alternative medical practices for many reasons, including but not limited to, the absence of negative side effects as well as a whole-body sense of well-being.  
 If your symptoms respond to an acupressure treatment, it is a gentle therapy that doesn’t hurt, doesn’t require your liver or kidney to process a medication, doesn’t conflict with another system in your body, doesn’t create an addiction for which you must suffer withdrawal – to name only a few benefits.  If you request treatment for a backache, you may find that your diarrhea also goes away, or a nagging leg cramp disappears.   Don’t be surprised if you complain of shoulder pain, and your shoulder is never touched in the treatment.   The definition of “pressure point” is a place in the body that has a direct link to, or acts on, another part of the body.    It is time for our medical community to take a serious look at Acupressure as another healing alternative.
