by the WHO to keep you in good health both physically & mentally. Acupuncture is a science where pressure is applied on specific points called acupoints, of your body to obtain therapeutic effects. These points are considered to be the pathway of energy flow in our body which needs to be stimulated to cure various health conditions.
The disposable needles used in this process are very thin and they cause no pain! The pressing of needles stimulates the natural painkillers in your body that allows you to heal naturally and establish equilibrium in your body.
Acupressure follows the same principle except that it is practiced by using the pressure of the hands to stimulate the pressure points. Further pressure on these points is applied by using seeds, magnets and other instruments depending on the patient & the medical condition.

Both the ancient therapies find its origin in India and other Asian countries. The theory of dualism forms the basis of these therapies. This theory states that a human body is divided into two systems. If one system of the body is affected, it causes imbalance to the other system which we call a disease. Therefore, it is important to establish equilibrium by using techniques such as acupuncture/acupressure.
