What is acupressure?
Acupressure is an ancient healing method from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that uses pressure instead of needles. It is based on the same principles as acupuncture, but acupressure can be done by anyone without training. Acupressure points are located throughout the body and applying pressure to them can help relieve pain and tension.
In TCM, qi (or "chi") is the life energy that flows through the body. There are 14 main meridians or pathways along which qi flows.
Acupressure and acupuncture both aim to decongest these meridians and restore the flow of Qi.
Acupressure can help with a variety of ailments including
- neck pain,
- back pain,
- headaches,
- muscle tension,
- stress,
- insomnia and
- digestive problems.
In addition, there are many other possible applications. Read our blog article on acupressure to find out more!
What is a needle mat?
A needle mat is a mat with needles used for acupressure. The mat has about 6,000-10,000 needles, which are made of plastic. The needles are about 3-5mm long and evenly distributed over the entire surface of the mat.
The cover is usually made of cotton or linen. Filled are the mats often with foam or the sustainable variant with a coconut fiber mat.
Some sets come with a cushion or you can order one separately. The fillings and shapes of the pillows are very different. About foam, husks or natural rubber, everything is there.
The shape of the pillows is either pillow-like and versatile or like a roll cut in half. These pincushions for the neck are specially designed for this application.
How does a needle mat work?
The needle mat stimulates the pressure points of the body. This has a beneficial effect on the entire body and can help relieve various ailments. The pressure of the needles on the skin stimulates the body to produce endorphins.
Endorphins are hormones that have a pain-relieving effect. In addition, the pressure of the needles on the skin improves blood circulation and promotes relaxation.
What is the benefit of a needle mat?
The advantages of a needle mat are many. These include:
Pain relief: The endorphins released by the pressure of the needles on the skin help to relieve pain. This can be helpful for different types of pain, such as back pain, neck pain and headaches.
Improved blood circulation: The pressure of the needles on the skin helps to improve blood circulation. This can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Stress relief: The pressure of the needles on the skin helps to relax and reduce stress.
It also helps with the following complaints:
- migraine
