Before the presence of antibiotics or even the normal medicines that we get over the counter, people used to resort to knowing their body and using different techniques to heal it. There was Ayurveda in India and acupressure in China. In these ancient lands, people knew their body so well that these methods actually turned out to be effective. Even nowadays, people are going for these methods to become healthy or get rid of some health issue.
The Chinese method of acupressure is based on the principle that there are certain pressure points in the body which tends to control the health of certain areas. Hence, according to this method, there will be several points on which pressure could be applied. As per this Chinese healing method, there is a point called ‘Shen Men’ – a specific area which will immediately help by releasing any stress that you are feeling as well as getting rid of insomnia or nervousness.
