Acupressure - Effective Treatment in Promoting Health in Infants and More
Posted by: admin : Category: Health
“Some of the many health conditions that acupressure can be helpful in treating include nausea (especially in cancer patients), fibromyalgia, back pain, and arthritis, among others.”
In a recent double-blind clinical trial* (at the School of Nursing at the China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan), premature infants received meridian massage (acupressure) three times per day for 15-minute sessions over a course of 10 days. During the acupressure sessions, (prior to feedings) the study group (of premature infants) had their abdomens rubbed, received stomach meridian massage and other acupressure kneading applications.
