According to ancient oriental beliefs, every organ in the human body has a representative pressure point in the hand and the foot. According to this method, massaging and applying pressure to this point for about 10 minutes should alleviate pain, cure diseases and make us feel much better.
The present day hectic lifestyle with tight schedules, back to back meetings and deadlines often lead to stress, annoying pains and aches and the quick option most of us opt for is popping a painkiller, hardly thinking about the negative effects that it can have on our health in the long run. Drugs can provide temporary relief to the body, but ancient therapies like Acupressure strengthens the body from the core by stimulating certain sensitive areas to provide long-term relief from ailments and pains. Prevent your body from relying blindly on drugs and let it bask in the wholesome goodness of Reflexology and Acupressure which is a therapy in complete harmony with nature.
