Acupressure Is A Type Of Massage And Complementary And Alternative Medicine That Involves Applying Pressure To Specific Points On The Body, Called Acupoints, To Help Relieve Pain And Other Symptoms. It'S Similar To Acupuncture, But Instead Of Needles, Acupressure Uses Fingers To Press On The Acupoints. The Goal Is To Encourage The Flow Of Qi, Or "Life Energy", Through The Body'S 14 Meridians, Which Are Believed To Connect Specific Organs And Networks Of Organs. When A Meridian Is Blocked Or Out Of Balance, Illness Can Occur, And Acupressure Is Thought To Help Restore Balance.
