My Answers

Are acupressure and acupuncture the same?
Thank you for your question! No they are not the same technique but they use the same points on the body. Acupressure is simply pressure manually applied to points on the body for a set amount of time per point. Acupuncture is the insertion of a needle in the acupuncture points on the body, retained for a set amount of time. They can both be effective in treating a vast variety of conditions. READ MORE

In ancient times, Acupuncture, along with herbal medicine, was used as the primary method of treating injuries and illness. It involves the insertion of solid, filiform stainless steel needles into points on the body that have been proven to relieve pain and discomfort.
