The Indian nail mat served as inspiration for the AcupressureMat®, which applies pressure to specific body areas.
The effectiveness of the organs, the psychological state, and overall health are all improved by acupressure. You can use the AcupressureMat® at any age and in a variety of ways.
The classic use
On any level surface, unroll the mat vertically with the bumps clearly visible (bed, futon, carpet, floor..). With your skin in close proximity to the zits, gently lie down on the AcupressureMat®.
Keep a T-shirt on for the first few applications if the sensation is too harsh. You will be able to use the mat without a shirt on as you use it more frequently.
How long should I keep the position?
10 to 15 minutes will be adequate at first. Your sessions can eventually be increased to 40 - 50 minutes. It is safe to use the AcupressureMat® for prolonged periods of time.
You will feel the AcupressureMat® beneficial's effects on your body right away if you use it every day.
After a session, it is advised that you take a nap to prevent the energy from flowing improperly. To maximize the effects, many people choose to use it in the evening just before bed.
You'll start to feel more at ease, less anxious, and particularly more productive in your daily life.
