Acupressure, acupuncture without needles

Acupressure, acupuncture without needles
Acupressure is a popular variant and is needle-less acupuncture.  It is done using finger pressure on the elbows, feet etc. This practice is widespread in Asia (e.g. Thailand).
However, the number of stimulated points of acupressure is reduced compared to the use of the needle.

The lower precision of the method of acupressure limits the act and effect. Acupressure would treat common ailments and prevent weaknesses of organs. For example: relaxation of the sciatic nerve (and the pain and discomfort caused) by high pressure of the thumbs on specific points in the pelvis.  Acupressure is practiced on oneself or on another person without special training, except in Asia where the oral transmission is completed by the master.

Laser acupuncture
Less commonly used in the practice of acupuncture, the laser can stimulate an acupuncture point by heat from the very young. This method has several advantages: it is inexpensive; painless and leaves no mark.

The effects are essentially the same as those of traditional acupuncture (pain relief, elimination of inflammation, accelerating the regeneration of tissues etc.)  It is used in the same way as needles and there are several models with different characteristics.  Laser therapy is increasingly common and now applies to people of all ages.
Moxibustion is a method used most often to heat the points (because of its slow combustion) called moxa. We can produce the same effects through a system of suction and massage.
