How,when and where this system originate lacks but on the basis of certain ancient documents, it is assumed that acupuncture and acupressure ,which work on a similar theory,were first conceived by Indian thinker like Bhagawan Dhanawantari and his disciples Maharshies Sushrit,Charak,etc in primitive times.
A branch of medicine founded upon the principle that health is dependent upon a proper balance of vital energy force within the body and treatment for the purpose of therapy,prophylaxy with a view to bring about a balance of such energy forces.The fundamental concept of energy flow is accepted in all branches of natural healing.Acu-points or trigger points which when pressed with thumblo fingers or with some other devices, activate the life process in the body and creat a balance of energy where there was previously an imbalance.
Every system in body has its own importance but blood circulation and nervous system are two most powerful streams which exercise overall control on the working of the human body.A perfact circulation is a vital force which carries necessary nutrients to all tissues.Acupressure helps a lot to improve and strengthen the circulatory system leading to better functioning of all organs.The modern medical science accepts that about 75% of all ailments take place due to “nerve tension” in different areas of the body.Fear,stress,sadness,anger,anxiety and worry all lead to tension,sickness and ageing.Acupressure helps in releasing tension and immaintaining good health.
