			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/acupressure-points-arthritis-1-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1333" title="acupressure-points-arthritis-1-1" src="http://www.thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/acupressure-points-arthritis-1-1.jpg" alt="acupressure-points-arthritis-1-1" width="283" height="258" /></a>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.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://biomoz.com/diseases-and-treatment/types-of-arthritis.html">Arthritis </a></strong>means inflammation of joints. The people suffer from pain, swelling and redness.<br />
Acupressure relieves <a href="http://biomoz.com/diseases-and-treatment/treatment.html">arthritic pain</a> 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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.spiritualrise.com/healing-gems/appendicitis-a…-cured-by-gems.htm">Arthritis</a> Acupressure: </strong><br />
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. Other points that are affective in acupressure include the point right below the knee, one between the big and second toes and another point that can be found between the fourth and last toes. These points are more supportive in alleviating pain in the legs and feet. Seeking therapies can often be helpful in finding relief from pain and suffering. Acupressure is sometimes a source of help and hope for individuals living with this painful condition. As alternative therapies for arthritis, this treatment can be done anywhere, anytime and with little effort. When conventional options for treatment fail or are not enough, herbs are often considered to be a good form of medicine. Acupressure can provide many options for pain relief and care.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Asthma</strong> is caused due to swelling and constriction of the airways. It is anti inflammatory disorder of respiratory system.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1266" title="acupressure-children" src="http://www.thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/acupressure-children.jpg" alt="acupressure children" width="283" height="258" />What is sinus</strong>?<br />
Sinuses are present in our face. There are total four types of sinuses.<br />
1.	Frontal sinus<br />
2.	Ethemoidal sinus<br />
3.	Sphenoidal sinus<br />
4.	Maxillary sinus</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sinusitis means the inflammation of sinus cavities. The function of sinus is to maintain body temperature and strengthens the facial bone. Due to infection and inflammation in the sinus cavities the air is not humidified and warmed up which results in decreasing the body temperature. The patient having sinusitis suffers from severe headache.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The conventional methods are available for treating sinusitis but are not much effective. The alternative source to ease your pain is Acupressure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Acupressure: It is a technique where the pressure is applied on the acupoints which in turn gives relaxation.<br />
In doing acupressure it is important to pay attention to any areas which are sore or numb, tingle, or feel unusually hot or cold. It sometimes happens that acupoints that need to be worked will be sore or have other odd sensations like cold, heat, numbness, etc.<br />
<strong>Acupressure for sinuses</strong> helps to get relax from the headache and other symptoms. There are some <strong>sinus pressure points</strong> like areas on the head, face and either side of nostrils. The sides of the bridge of the nose and middle of the forehead between the eyebrows are other two points for sinus. The other acupressure for sinus does not lies only on face there are other spots also like on back of the neck and the top of the hands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a sensitive point at the center of the back of the upper neck, where the skull bones end and the soft tissue begin. This is the acupressure point. Apply pressure there with your middle finger for three minutes as the time will go very likely, your sinuses would begin to draw off and your pressure or congestion relieved. At the beginning you may want to do this several times a day whenever pressure begins to build up. Later on, as the sinuses are healed, you may want to reduce this number.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Experimenting with <strong>acupressure for sinus</strong> release may help to relieve the pain and pressure of this devastating problem even more than medication or help sinus sufferers to avoid the need for sinus surgery. If traditional methods of sinus relief aren’t working, holistic treatments such as acupressure can be a welcomed new treatment. For example, certain foods, irritants, allergies, smog, etc. Keeping the sinuses clear by using acupressure is a step in the right direction for healthy sinuses.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Acupressure as we all know is a Chinese medicine that has been followed by millions of people over the past few centuries. It is the probable treatment for the various medical problems that we face in our regular life, including back pain.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Problem of back pain</strong></em></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the recent times, the <em><strong>problem of back pain</strong></em> has developed and increased steadily due to the desk job that most people have in today’s generation. Back pain is mainly caused by tightening of muscles in the back, a strain or sprain of ligaments or tendons spinal misalignment, herniations in vertebral discs or wrong sitting postures. We spend the most of our time sitting and doing all our work without moving around for a while. This excessive and long time sitting has caused most people to suffer from immense pain in the back. The pain is intense especially in the lower portion of the back. The main reason for this persists to be the wrong <em><strong>sitting postures</strong></em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is one of the <em><strong>good sitting posture</strong></em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.fitness-programs-for-life.com/images/SittingX3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The posture for sitting is one of the main criterions that leads to back pain. Whenever we sit, it is our nature to find a position that we are most comfortable in.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Foot acupressure</strong> is mainly used for respite of foot and it came from china. The therapists consider that each and every part of the internal organ should respond it. By applying force to these points one not only repair the patient but also expands over all well being. Kneading is having the foundation of assumption of repairing all the internal organs of the body that has a linkage with the nerves which is located at the end of our foot. As per this assumption heavy patients should not experience any type of hurting when the force is pertained on the foot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is also called<strong> f</strong><strong>oot reflexology acupressure. <span style="font-weight: normal;">Here is the <strong>foot acupressure chart</strong>. It will show the points located on our feet to diagnose the desease.</span></strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-639" title="reflexology-chart-foot-2" src="http://thespiritualhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/reflexology-chart-foot-21.jpg" alt="foot acupressure" width="567" height="581" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The theory of <strong>foot acupressure</strong> starts with patients foot dipped into hot water mixed with a solution of Chinese herbs. It is also known by foot bath. It is given for at least ten minutes. After this the therapist uses medicated lotion for moistening the foot by applying lubricant on it. The knuckles on the therapist hands apply strong force on it and smoothens it. The foot experts believe that the paining part of the patient truly reacts to it and cures the sickness of that organ and all the other pain related with that organ. The practitioner rubs the sick areas to break down the rough spots and accumulated crystals to boost the movements.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to experts, there are three Yin and Yang meridians moving through and across our foot. Each of these points helps in controlling pain and any sort of discomfort in the body. Taibai point, Taichong point, Taixi point are the three Yin meridians while, Xiangu point, Zulinqu point and the Shugu point are the 3 Yang meridians.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The foot expert believes that a sickness is cured when the actual part of the foot are repaired and detached by massaging. According to this assumption few firms also produce footwear liners with pressure points to motivate the sole of the feet and also promoting superior well being. Some of the foot therapist also says that by this type of theory they can also cure aches and pains of migraine headaches and sinus difficulties by properly massing the exact points on the foot. Some of them also state that to get relieved from hormonal imbalances, breathing disorders, abdomen problems, back aches, circulatory problems and also from  strain and harassment difficulties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kneading is also a combination of therapies as well as approach. For example acupressure, holistic practices as well as tai chi.  These therapies not just include only hands but also other organs of our body parts or areas. Acupressure is known to shatter crystalline accumulation, avoids obstacles in our nervous system. Acupressure also progresses our blood circulation as well as aid detoxification.
