5 Tricks You Wish You Knew Before Your Weight Loss

Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine technique based on the concept of life energy that travels through our bodies. This technique works at various pressure points, which are connected to some of the main organs of the body.

By applying pressure to these points correctly, you can treat a wide variety of conditions and health problems. Today, we will talk about the most common acupressure points for losing weight.

What is Acupressure

Acupressure is often called acupuncture without the needles. Instead of needles, acupressure involves applying manual pressure (usually with your fingertips) to specific points on the body.

According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, the body has invisible lines of energy flow called meridians.

There are believed to be at least 14 meridians connecting our organs to other parts of the body. Acupuncture and acupuncture points are located on these meridians.
