How Acupressure Works

Stimulation of active points is thought to lead to increased release of endorphins. Endorphin is a natural body painkiller. Endorphin and morphine are chemically different molecules but, by coincidence, they have very similar 3-dimensional shape. This similarity in shape allows morphine to bind the endorphin receptor, reduce pain, and induce feeling of happiness.

Thus endorphin released by acupressure stimulation may lead to relaxation and normalization of body functions.

Note: the trial version only shows two acupressure points.
