Acupressure is a natural healing therapy based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Acupressure is a natural healing therapy based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It works by applying gentle pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints, to stimulate energy flow and promote healing.
According to TCM, our body has an invisible life force called Qi (pronounced “chi”), which flows through energy channels known as meridians. When this energy flow becomes blocked or unbalanced due to stress, poor posture, or illness, it can lead to discomfort and disease. Acupressure helps release these blockages, allowing the body to restore its natural balance and heal itself from within.
Modern research supports this traditional concept by showing that acupressure:
Stimulates nerves and muscles
Triggers the release of endorphins (the body’s natural painkillers)
Improves blood flow and lymphatic circulation
Promotes relaxation and overall wellness
How Acupressure Works
At its core, acupressure aims to balance the body’s internal energy by targeting specific points linked to different organs and systems.
Here’s how it works:
Meridians and Qi: The body has 12 main meridians connected to vital organs. When Qi (energy) flows smoothly, you feel healthy and balanced.
Acupoints: There are hundreds of acupoints along these meridians. Each one is connected to a particular organ, function, or emotion.
Applying Pressure: By pressing these acupoints using fingers, thumbs, or special tools, the therapist releases energy blockages, reduces tension, and restores harmony in the body.
At Nova Aesthetic Clinic, our trained acupressure experts carefully identify the pressure points that correspond to your symptoms — such as headaches, stress, or back pain—and apply the right amount of pressure to stimulate healing naturally.
Acupressure vs. Acupuncture
Both acupressure and acupuncture are based on the same healing philosophy and target the same acupoints.The key difference lies in how they are performed:
Acupressure: A non-invasive therapy using finger pressure instead of needles. It’s safe, relaxing, and even suitable for self-care with guidance.
Acupuncture: Involves inserting fine needles into acupoints for deeper stimulation. It usually requires a licensed acupuncturist.
At Nova Aesthetic Clinic, we specialize in acupressure—offering the same healing benefits without needles, pain, or recovery time.

Acupressure has gained popularity worldwide for its wide range of physical and emotional benefits.At Nova Aesthetic Clinic, our patients often experience visible improvements after just a few sessions.
Here’s what acupressure can help with:

Acupressure calms the nervous system and promotes relaxation by balancing hormones and reducing stress chemicals in the body.
Better Sleep
Stimulating specific acupoints can improve sleep quality and help with insomnia or restless nights.
Nausea & Motion Sickness
Pressure on wrist acupoints like “P6” is clinically proven to reduce nausea and vomiting, including morning sickness or post-surgery nausea.
Boosts Immunity & Energy
By improving circulation and energy flow, acupressure strengthens the immune system and reduces fatigue.
Balances Hormones
Helps with hormonal issues such as PMS, menopause symptoms, and thyroid imbalance by restoring internal harmony.
Is Acupressure Safe?
Yes, acupressure is completely safe when done by trained professionals, but a few precautions are important:
Pregnant women should avoid certain points that may trigger contractions — always consult your therapist.
Avoid applying pressure to bruised, injured, or swollen areas.
If you have heart disease, bone conditions, or bleeding disorders, discuss your medical history before treatment.
Acupressure should never feel painful. You may feel slight tenderness, but it should be relaxing overall.
