acupressure points
Massage target areas
Acupressure points are specific locations on the body where pressure is applied to relieve pain or promote healing.
Traditional Chinese medicine maps these points along meridians—channels through which vital energy supposedly flows.
Pressing them is believed to restore balance: She massaged the acupressure point between her thumb and forefinger to ease her headache.
