Acupressure is (a Latin word acus – needle + pressure) a part of alternative medicines which is principally similar to the acupuncture. The principle is based upon the concept of energy which flows through meridians in the body. As a part of the treatment technique pressure is applied to the energy points aiming to clear congestion from these meridians. Pressure could be applied by hand, elbow, fingers or instruments specially made for the purpose.

It has now been proved that our body is a wonder magnet component and all the physiological functions of our body are controlled by its pulsating magnetic field generated inside like a drum shaped coil. Magnetic treatment stimulates the affected cells and helps to increase the flow of oxygen to the cells and thereby improves the body metabolism. Different applications of magnetic treatments are given scientifically by experts at Kayakalp.
