acupressure
Fingertip healing technique
Acupressure is a healing practice that applies pressure to specific points on the body, based on the same principles as acupuncture but using fingers or tools instead of needles.
Practitioners believe stimulating these points can relieve pain, reduce tension, and promote energy flow: She used acupressure on her wrist to ease nausea.
