What is Acupressure?

Acupressure is a type of Oriental healing art based on ancient Chinese and Japanese medicine. A practitioner will typically apply pressure on specific points on the body with his or her fingers in order to relieve pain and discomfort, prevent tension-related ailments, and promote good health.

Acupressure has been used for over 5000 years in China, and today both acupressure and acupuncture (stimulating acu-points with needles) are still the most widely used healing system in the world with over 1 BILLION people using it as their primary source of health care.

Acupressure is based on the belief that energy flows through the human body in specific patterns, and when the human body is under stress many of our meridians (energy channels) and organs can fall out of balance. By stimulating specific points on the body (acupressure points) harmony and balance can be restored. Although acupressure has been thought of in the west as being esoteric, numerous clinical studies over the past 30 years have demonstrated its validity as a legitimate scientific healthcare practice.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) appetite is associated with both the Stomach and the Spleen. When there is any imbalance or stress placed on either of these organs, appetite can become poor or excessive.

The Chinese explain the function of the Stomach and Spleen as transporting food and transforming it into energy. If the Stomach or Spleen become damaged through stress or poor diet then a number of health disorders can result such as weight gain, poor digestion, a slowing of the metabolism, water retention, bloating and a feeling of heaviness.

The SP6 Appetite Control Patch has been designed to regulate the appetite utilizing the principles of Chinese medicine by restoring harmony to the Stomach and Spleen meridians through gentle stimulation of specific acupressure points on the human body normally associated with the proper functioning of the Stomach and Spleen. (Spleen 6 and Stomach 36).
