Definition of Acupressure
Acupressure is a natural science, philosophy and a rational
method of therapy based on an inbuilt mechanism provided in
the human body by the Nature.
The word acupressure has two parts, acu
and pressure.
Acu means needle (or minute points like the
tip of a needle) and pressure means to
press (with the help of thumb, fingers or any
other object).
Acupressure refers to a therapy wherein
pressure is applied at specified locations of
therapeutic value in the human body (acu
points) to heal diseases.

Basic Principle of Acupressure

Acupressure seeks to cure diseases by restoring the
imbalance of energy flow in the human body.
As per the basic principle of the therapy, energy is
constantly flowing in the human body along defined
pathways known as meridians.
A disease occurs if this energy flow becomes excess or
deficient, gets impeded or counter-flows due to various
external or internal factors.

Basic Principle of Acupressure

A number of points known as acu points are
located along these meridians and control the
flow of energy on these pathways, just the
way electrical switches/regulators control the
flow of current in a circuit.
Stimulation of these acu points with
pressure using specific techniques corrects
the energy imbalance along a meridian
and the disease gets cured.

Sujok Acupressure
In classical acupressure, acu points are found on the entire
body at various locations from head to the toe.
In the year 1987, Prof. Park Jae Woo of
Korea established that the human hands
and the feet are replica of the entire body
&
exact correspondence of body acu points
exists on the hands/feet.
It is thus possible to practice acupressure
solely on the hands or feet.
