Acupressure & Reflexology
Acupressure is a Chinese traditional healing method that is
applied through hand massage techniques on specific target areas within the
body. One of the most beautiful things about acupressure is that you can self
administer. This particular alternative medicine can help alleviate pain, relax
the mind, treat emotional pain, relieve stress and tension, increase energy
levels and blood circulation, boost the immune system and can help in removing
toxic waste from the body.
Those who know me well know
that I have an aversion to painkillers and will go to almost any length to
avoid their use. I got a lot of relief by applying pressure to specific points. Muscular tension is
released promoting increased blood circulation and healing. While I was laying
in bed, afraid of what the future held I would often use acupressure and reflexology along with Young Living Oils and the combination was divine.
If you are a skeptic, and I must admit I was too, there have
been recent studies that indicate applying pressure to specific points can
cause ones brain to release protein molecules called endorphins.
Endorphin's can act as natural pain killers among other things. My
experience may be anecdotal, but I can assure you it was real enough for
me!
