Digitopuncture
What is digitopuncture or acupressure?
It involves stimulating points located at precise points onacupuncture meridians.
The points are gateways to the meridians, the channels through which energy flows.
To be in good health, energy, i.e. Qi, must circulate harmoniously throughout the body.
An energetic journey of sorts. Acupuncture paths run through the body, so points can be stimulated. There are hundreds of them, so we’re going to stimulate certain points according to need and efficiency.
Combining essential oils is very beneficial to healing.
What’s the point?
The aim here is to relieve pain, blockages or malfunctions “at a distance”, without intervening directly at the site of the malfunction.
On the feet and hands, we have a kind of cartography that takes in the whole body, and everything is quite logical.
For further information:
To use the exact point to work on, we use the “Cun” measurement, for example:
The points are gateways to the meridians, the channels through which energy flows.
To be in good health, energy, i.e. Qi, must circulate harmoniously throughout the body.
The face is also a zone that is stimulated and where the state of the person is well represented.
We’re not going to hide it under our feet, that would be more effective. You walk a lot, you’re standing, your feet are bigger, so you’re more precise.
Also, because feet are less in contact with the outside world, they are more sensitive and reactive.
What can you expect from a session?
A lot of good if you do it from time to time, and even more beneficial if the therapist leaves 2-3 simple techniques for the patient to stimulate the points with self-massage.
“It’s a bit like physical activity if you do 50 minutes of running once you’ll feel good, but it’s about longevity”.
Worth knowing:
Don’t expect miracles. If, for example, there is an infection and it is already organically damaged
a suitable treatment may be required.
Once again, it won’t cure back pain, for example, if you position yourself incorrectly throughout the day.
In general, we also recommend breathing, dietary and posture exercises to ensure long-term benefits.
