Читать книгу Acupressure: Simple Steps to Health: Discover your Body’s Powerpoints For Health and Relaxation - Jacqueline Young - Страница 27

There is an increasing body of research underway which supports acupressure’s effectiveness. This research shows that stimulation of acupoints can lead to a wide range of physiological changes including: electrical changes in the skin at acupoint sites; changes in brain chemicals, such as increased release of endorphins (the body’s natural pain killers); and altered internal organ function such as changes in heart or respiration rates (see Further Reading). It is clear that this simple technique can indeed have a profound, wide-ranging effect on the body.
