Acupressure stimulates different pressure points in the body and can help improve a person’s normal health levels.

These healing mechanisms are normally trapped by stress and fatigue you subject your body to daily. Ancient Chinese medicine teaches us that by releasing these “pressure points”, we are also releasing any negative energy that may be associated with that particular pressure point.

Applying gentle pressure on precise acupoints is believed to stimulate the central nervous system (i.e. brain & spinal cord) to release chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and the brain. These chemicals release other chemicals, such as hormones, that influence the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional wellbeing. And thus naturally the blood’s sugar/glucose level normalizes without any negative side effect, but may be with positive side effects

The important acupoints are spleen 6, Liver 3, kidney 3, stomach 40 and reflex points of liver, pituitary, pancreas, thyroid and adrenal.
