How acupressure works:

Nobody knows how acupressure works. Very often pain is caused by a self-perpetuating mechanism: pain causes the mind to be attentive to pain, that, in turn cases more pain and even more attention, and so on.

Most likely acupressure works by interrupting this vicious circle. How does acupressure interrupt the cycle? Stimulation of active points is thought to lead to increased release of endorphins. Endorphin is a natural body painkiller. Endorphin and morphine are chemically different molecules but, by coincidence, they have very similar 3-dimentional shape. This similarity in shape allows morphine to bind the endorphin receptor and reduce pain.

Thus endorphin released by acupressure stimulation may lead to temporal reduction of mind’s attention to pain, interruption of pain cycle, and following complete cessation of pain.

Note: the trial version only shows one acupressure point for every type of headache.

Note: You do not need to uninstall the trial version, the full version will overwrite the trial software.
