Want to have skills that could earn you the skills of saving lives? Learn to treat life-threatening psychiatric and physical disorders with Acupressure.

Sometimes we might get into situations where we feel helpless because we want to ease someone’s pain but we just don’t know how to do that. With acupressure, however, one can learn to cure or calm any kinds of psychiatric disorders or physical conditions that, in some cases, could even be fatal. If someone near you fainted or collapsed from exhaustion or had a stroke, you can use a specific point to immediately activate the nervous system. This point also helps in clearing congestion and irritation in the nose due to hay fever. It also relieves breathing difficulties caused by allergies. Sneezing, runny nose, sinus problems and dizziness can be improved by pressing this point. The point is also helpful in improving concentration and reducing food cravings. Could you have imagined that one pressure point in our body could do so much?

This course has been specially designed for students of all levels to help them to learn Acupressure treatment that helps manage physical, mental and emotional health. It starts with an introduction of acupressure to relieve physical pains and fatigues. Moreover, it also stresses on acupressure techniques that can help in solving emotional issues: bad moods and emotional traumas. It would also introduce learners to the use of acupressure to maintain an appropriate mental health –fixing confused, forgetful behaviours, etc.
