  Acupressure - This is one of the reflex type, consisting of a mechanical finger or instrument by replacing most of the same acupuncture points (biologically active points (BAP)), which are used needle therapy.

  Compared with needle therapy (acupuncture), acupressure has many advantages:
  1) it is painless;
  2) for this reason can be used which is difficult to cannulate and hyperesthesia hiperpatijos zones;
  3) in pediatric and geriatric practice;
  4) patients with a negative reaction to acupuncture.

  Sometimes the reflex therapy course starts AT (acupuncture points) massage, and then continued with needle therapy.

  In acupressure, to avoid complications: bleeding, infection, needle breakage or AT occurring during the heating skin burns.

  Acupressure, as compared to classical, have an advantage:

  - More precisely dosed load and it is possible to differentiate between different stages of the disease;
  - It is possible to inhibit or activate the nervous and muscular system, functions of internal organs;
  - Acupressure are more precise and flexible effects, allowing one time relaxation of the muscles and stimulate one another, what is especially important in the treatment of central Trapper paralysis.

  In some diseases, acupressure can be combined with classical and segmental. Acupressure is an integral part of modern integrated rehabilitation of the nervous system and internal organ disease treatment. Acupressure reduces the drugs, especially painkillers, and anti-allergic miorelaksaciniu, the intensity of therapy.

  FROM THE HISTORY acupressure

  Acupressure therapy with needles and searing is one of the oldest treatments used widely in the East: China, Korea, Mongolia, Tibet, Japan. For the first time mentioned acupressure III-II century. Ave. Me multivolume treatise on ancient keniečių "Chuandi neiczin '(221 m. Ave. BC). already mentioned, this type of treatment. Among the nine classic forms of massage needles in paragraph 2: narrow with a rounded tip corn kernel-sized and round. I-II century AD massaging points (Čžen method) is widespread in China.

  Currently, acupressure has received international recognition and application of a variety of names: Western and Central Europe and North America also known as acupressure, Japan - Amma. In addition, the last decades, Japan has developed reflex and related methods: Shiatsu system (massage with your fingers) and Cubo therapy - long-term acupuncture points (AT) for the 1 mm diameter metal balls attached patch to the skin.
  Application of acupressure to treat diseases of the nervous system has become the initiator of prof. Ed Tykočinskajos School Petersburg VM name Vechterevo psichoneurologijos MIT. In 1969. Tykočinskaja proposed later in 1975. Leontjeva developed in detail in acupressure and compatibility of medical gymnastics methodology in the treatment of central Trapper paralysis. AT Kacana (1972, 1977) described the acupressure method to treat various forms of facial nerve inflammation. For the last 10-15 years, acupressure application of various nervous system and internal organs involved in the treatment of diseases Gorochovskij, G.Luvsan, DM Tabejeva and others.

  UNDERSTANDING OF meridian and acupuncture points

  The human body is an integral unit of separate parts, the internal organ systems are linked together. Harmonious interaction between them leads to nerve connections in the ancient eastern medical data, which is further supported by contemporary research - and energy metabolism (China - Ci, India - Prana). Energy circulates through the so-called meridian system. Meridian passes through certain points which are situated on the subcutaneous layer of 3-5 mm to several centimeters in depth. These points are called acupuncture (acupressure) points, and related to the internal organs. In 1985. France and published data support the existence of meridians anatomically: radioactive isotopes into acupuncture points to introduce fast enough (within 4-6 min. Up to 30 cm) spread meridians course, while the introduction of non-acupuncture points to remain at the injection site. It is now believed that meridians activity depends on the cerebral cortex and subcortical centers.
  Thus, the meridian - a functioning system that links the highest nerve centers of the acupuncture points and different internal organs. This system circulates the energy to ensure that all body systems as a whole work.
  IN - Jan concept. The ancient eastern medical approach to acupressure mechanism of action was based on the two entities of IP and JAN struggle theory and the human body functions associated with natural phenomena.

  The man is healthy, the main body started its opposite: a positive light and dark negative JAN IN, is in equilibrium. In case of illness may prevail JAN - some kind of organ and meridian function overload syndrome, or IN - deficiency syndrome. In modern science positions JAN - IN theory can be considered as a sympathetic vegetative nervous system (JAN) and parasympathetic (IP) connection between the parts (monad).

  U - sin "concept - the five primordial elements IN - Jan opposites are transition points - morning, evening, spring-autumn morning, the day of giving birth, is a dynamic, cyclical.

  Birth (morning), the maximum activity (day) stalling (evening), minimal activity (night). Birth of the ancient doctors attributed the Tree of maximum activity - Fire, Metal blėsimui, minimal activity - Water. Since everything happens on Earth - in the center of the Earth.

  Each item was assigned to the two bodies (1 - in + 1 - Jan). Among these organs and primordial elements of creative and destructive relationship.
  "CI" concept. From birth to death through the meridians according to their patterns of circulation are CI.

  Circulates through the body, the vital energy of CI will pass through all the organs of the body, opening and closing during the day full circle. Internal and external factors that may disturb the equilibrium, and then occurs.
  One meridians reaches maximum activity, in front of the meridian has a minimum activity (hours).

  "Czin - LO concept. China is finding new meaning operating points, they were connected between the lines, the total was 14, or "channels of life, which the Europeans later called meridians.
  Each meridian has its own topography and consists of internal and external travel. Located outside of the course points. The internal perspective - the meridian of external connection to the internal organs, it is sophisticated, quirky contours.

  Meridians are different from each other in length, covering the amount of points in the direction. The longest meridian - VII of the bladder (V) -67 meridian points, the shortest - Heart U (C) and IX of the pericardium (MC) - 9 points.
  Of the 14 meridians 12 pair (or symmetric), and two gypsy - middle back (Y) and middle frontal (J). In addition, describe the eight so-called "magic" meridians, having that does not "own" specific points, and "borrow" them from the classic meridians.

  Acupressure goal is to restore the energy balance of the human body.
