Acupressure
If we believe in ancient Chinese medicine, our body permeates the so-called channels through which the energy that feeds us flows - Qi. Each channel in some places where it comes close to the skin, has something like valves, with which the amount and current of energy in the body is regulated. And as the adepts of this medicine believe, all our diseases come from the fact that these valves can be clogged or, conversely, deprived of Qi energy, creating an uneven distribution of it across the body. And with the help of acupuncture or, in our case, massage, the points are cleared and the normal energy movement resumes, thus eliminating the illness and relieving pain.
