Acupressure For Memory and Concentration Improvement

Acupressure For Memory and Concentration Improvement

Acupressure and acupuncture share the same active points (also called trigger points, acupoints, acupressure points, or acupuncture points). The ancient Chinese developed system of active points stimulation over 5,000 years ago. The active points are located on imaginary lines called meridians. Accordingly, the points are referred to by the meridian they are located on and consecutive number of point on that meridian

Sit comfortably or lie down, close your eyes and breath deeply when massaging the active points.
