Acupressure -- Has It Been Proven By Science Yet

?

We all know that Western and Eastern medicine are worlds apart, and our health care system has been adamant against Eastern healing practices for the longest time. But we keep seeing evidence that methods such as acupressure actually works. Has this method been proven by science yet?

The answer is a surprising yes. After decades of dismissing Eastern healing as "hogwash," the Western world is finally looking into its viability (partly because of rising costs of pharmaceuticals and health care). And what scientists have found out about acupressure may turn Western medicine on its head.

Studies have shown that there ARE points in the human body that are much more sensitive to bioelectric impulses. Stimulating these certain points of the body trigger the release of neurotransmitters and endorphins that relieve pain. Blood flow and oxygen is encouraged in the affected area, and pain subsequently gets blocked. This is precisely how acupressure promotes healing.

What's more, studies have found that tension tends to build up around these same points in the body, causing chronic pain and spasms. But when these points are pressed, the tension yields and blood flows freely again, allowing for oxygen replenishment and toxin release.

Here are a few acupressure tactics that can help you through the day:

#1 - If you're suffering from headaches and muscle/joint pain, squeeze the fleshy part between your thumb and index finger for one minute, then do the same for your other hand. This is a quick way to get rid of the kind of pains you deal with at work.

#2 - If you're suffering from lower back pain, lie on your back with your feet propped up on a bed or chair. Put two tennis balls under your lower back, on both sides of your spine. Hold the position for one minute (or less, if the position is too uncomfortable for you).
