## What is acupressure and how does it work?
The acupressure points are located in areas where we have nerve endings and tissues. The acupressure points have distributive sensory nerve endings which are responsible for the acupoint sensation when stimulated.
When acupressure is applied, it produces a local or reflex effect on other acupoints and organs of that area in our bodies. Stimulating these acupoints improves blood circulation too to heal the acupoint area faster.
Acupressure has been used by Chinese medicine for more than 4000 years and it works on our bodies in a similar way to acupuncture only that acupressure does not use needles but hands or other objects instead.
