About a year ago, I had my first experience with Chinese Medicine.  I went to see an Acupuncturist here in Austin and felt amazing after my first session.  Unlike traditional Western medicine, my acupuncturist spent three hours with me, asking a wide range of questions and listening intently to my health history (which is a bit long for a thirty-year old).

When I returned home, I began researching Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.  I came across the site http://www.acupressureonline.org and began to use the listed acupressure points for various health ailments.  The main problem I was dealing with at the time was insomnia and within fifteen minutes of applying pressure to the potent insomnia points I felt a deep sense of relaxation and sleepiness.  I now incorporate acupressure on a regular basis, along with taking sleep-tite and rarely have trouble sleeping.

The next time you are suffering from a headache, sinus congestion, digestion troubles, or any other ailment, try self-treatment with acupressure before reaching for that bottle of aspirin.  You might be amazed at how effective acupressure can be.
