Acupressure is a great way to optimize your wellness and stay in tip top shape. You do not need to be actively experiencing any symptoms to benefit from acupressure! We recommend using our "My Points" section to create a customized series of points that are unique to your body for use every day. If you are feeling a specific symptom (headaches, anxiety, etc.) use our "symptoms" tab for highly targeted protocols. Each targeted section will have specific instructions about how often to use it for maximum results

Results may come immediately for conditions that just started, and may take multiple sessions for things that are more chronic. If you are experiencing a headache that just started, or stress in the moment, acupressure is a great way to feel better quickly. However, if you've suffered for years with migraines or an upset tummy, it may take about 10 sessions to begin noticing changes. Read more articles on acupressure basics.

Avoid applying pressure to areas with wounds, scars, or sensitive skin. Instead, focus on other acupoints that are unaffected. Acupressure should not be applied directly on tumors. However, it's important to note that acupressure primarily involves superficial pressure, so direct contact with a tumor is highly unlikely. Read more about potential side effects.
