This alone is already a big progress against the bulimia of medicaments, be they prescription or non-prescription drugs. Self care Practitioners certainly have a right to exercise their profession, and in many cases their help is essential. It has become a bad habit of modern times to resort for even minor discomforts to health-professionals. Acupressure, when well used, can easily relieve from occasional pain or strain, thereby avoiding that one has to disturb a medical officer for a triviality. The same basic self-responsibility should govern our relation with health.
Acupressure is one of the ways to go in that direction.
This can be anything from general headache, neck and shoulder tension, cold, respiratory problems etc. Reducing stress is the best preventive measure one can take. All definitions of acupressure point into that direction. Acupressure adepts find they are less susceptible to aching, as they can start diminishing pain immediately upon its occurrence. We all know that blood carries vital nutrients through the body, and also carries away toxins and waste products.
