Acupressure, a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine, may be thought of as "Acupuncture without needles". The body is viewed as an interconnected energy system, in which the body energy, known as "Chi" flows along pathways called meridians.

From the moment of conception within a mother's womb, we are living, moving and growing creatures. This energy of life comes partly from our parents as genetic inheritance and partly from the nourishment of food, drink, emotions, ideas, and vibra­tions. Because we are alive, we must keep ourselves in good condi­tion. Without this constant conditioning, it is easy to deteriorate.At times we say to ourselves that we don't feel well. At that moment, we already know that something is going wrong. This feeling is our signal that normal body functions are beginning to make changes. The unpleasant symptoms of the aches and pains are an attempt by the body to reestablish harmony. But, to you, that headache certainly doesn't feel like harmony!When symptoms are present, the energy within the internal...
