Acupressure involves pressure points on the body with fingers or hands to change the internal flow. In our body there is a specific system of electrical energy that circulates in very specific pattern through channels called as meridians. The energy gets blocked in the diseased condition, when through acupressure point on the meridian are released which aids in transmission of human electrical energy to move through the body and according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that heals the areas where the trail goes.

Arthritis means inflammation of joints. The people suffer from pain, swelling and redness.
Acupressure relieves arthritic pain in several of ways. As you hold the acupressure point it enables elevated energy to move through the body and this energy helps in relieving the pain and healing the joints.
Next it relieves pain by releasing tension and stress. By acupressure the blocked energy is released and hence increases circulation and enables the person to be comfortable instead of stressing against their arthritic pain. By being more relaxed you can manage better with it, breathe easier, and have more energy in your daily life.
Acupressure points when hold releases a neurochemical called endorphins. These endorphins are the substance said to be involved in relieving the pain. These are natural chemicals released by our body and with the help of acupressure it circulates throughout the body.

Arthritis Acupressure:
Now we will go through various points on the body depending upon the actual center of the pain that will soothe the pain. To get relief the pressure point exists between the thumb and forefinger. Persons that undergo from arthritis or any form of this intolerable disease often have pain in the hands, fingers, elbows and neck. These areas can be exaggerated by applying pressure between the thumb and forefinger. When no medicines or treatment works acupressure is the best alternative to go with.

Acupuncture is technique where the tin needles are inserted into the specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purpose. Acupuncture is a treatment originating from traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture is one of the oldest and most widespread techniques. It is a treatment where the energy flows through the human body in opposing positive and negative forces. Energy flows through a certain path that is called as meridian. When the person is suffering from any disease including asthma, are thought to represent an imbalance of these forces. By introducing needles into the skin at certain recognized points alongside these meridians, the balance of these forces is considered to be customized with to the advantage of the patient.

Remedies for asthma
In asthma the person is having difficulty in breathing, many medications are available, but rather than having advantages they are having more side effects.

Just we will look on the functions of some parts of our body. Lungs aids in controlling the movement of water in the middle part of the body, spleen regulates water in middle part of the body and kidney facilitates water in lower part of the body. If any disturbance occurs in negative and positive forces the water circulation will get blocked and this will lead to blockade for producing and storing phlegm in the lungs. The blocked water and Phlegm is responsible for further asthma problems.

The increase in stored phlegm in the lungs will create a problem in all the three organs that is lungs, spleen and kidney by obstructing the airways. As due to phlegm storage the lungs will not get enough oxygen that will lead to deficiency in the kidneys and that will pass on to the spleen becoming deficient and overall there will be an increase in the level of phlegm which will obstruct the airways.So the imbalance is created, because on one hand the phlegm increases and on the other hand the amount of air or oxygen intake decreases.
Asthma could be due to a array of circumstances and depending upon the type of asthma, acupuncture for asthma treatment will be modified and carried out.

Here are some of the Acupuncture remedies with help of that a person get relief from asthma.
If asthma is caused due to cold then by using acupuncture one can remove the phlegm and also involves sedating the lungs. The main acupoints include lungs, kidney and bladder at specific key points.

If asthma is caused due to heat involves dispersing the phlegm from the lungs. By decreasing the harmful energy generated from various trigger points like the liver.

Asthma is caused due to swelling and constriction of the airways. It is anti inflammatory disorder of respiratory system. The secretion of mucus increases by that the air sacs get plugged. As a result, the air cannot pass into the air sacs and leads problem in breathing. An asthma attack can cause such shortness of breath and poor oxygen intake that person may need to be hospitalized.

The causes of asthma can be many like exposure to certain allergens, pollen, features, dust, pollution, cigarette smoke, molds, animal dander, cold dry air, exercise, excitement, and stress.
