Acupressure and self-acupressure was discovered in China over 5,000 years ago. Ancient Chinese learned how by simply pressing certain points on the body relieved pain where it occurred, but also it was beneficial on other parts of the body away from the pain.
Acupressure consists on stimulating specific acupressure body points with the purpose of invigorating the organ that corresponds to that point. Acupressure for fertility focuses on specific organs like the liver, the spleen, the urinary bladder, the ovaries, the uterus, the fallopian tubes and the kidneys, as these organs play a very important role in reproductive health.
Acupressure for fertility can be used to relieve menstrual pain, support the sexual reproductive system, and to detoxify the body. When you practice self-acupressure, you will be stimulating pressure points that are located along the body's twelve main meridian pathways.
