Acufit Mats are Acupressure Fitness Mats that combine acupressure, magnet, and pyramid technologies to promote quick stimulationto your body’s energy and health.

How does Acufit Foot Mat help relieve stress?

Human body is wired such that 7,000 nerves send signals to the brain about various senses faced by the body. These senses can be pain or stress. While there is no proven scientific evidence, it is believed that the brain responds by to these messages (when the right amount of pressure is applied on these reflex points) by producing endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s natural way to relieve pain and fight stress. Foot Reflexology Massages utilize the same principles of Acupressure, where the massage therapist uses their thumb to put the right amount of pressure on the acupressure points on the foot to help you feel more energetic, reduce pain, and relieve stress. AcuFit Foot Mats bring the power of Foot Reflexology to you, so you can Do It Yourself, at the place of your convenience and at the time that works for you. Foot Reflexology Massages cost $20 for 20 minutes. You can buy Acupressure Fitness (Acufit) Foot Mats for $39.99. Live Stress Free everyday with Acufit Mats!

Do you get motion sickness or nausea when traveling? Does your back hurt on long flights?

CNNGo points out a few acupoints that are best for travelers. While we like all acupressure points, they highlight two of our favorite points. We recommend these to anyone traveling.

The first one is so popular that you can get wrist bands to prevent motion sickness or nausea. People use it when traveling by car, air, or sea. You can use your fingers to message this acupoint on your wrist. The acupoint is located on the wrist facing the inside of your forearm about two thumbs length below the wrist crease.

The second one is a little trickier to find, but helps with neck and back pain. This acupoint is located at the intersection of your pinky knuckle and your palm.

As for the Acupressure point on the ankle, it is so popular that there are social workers in Asia that stimulate blood flow for people by massaging that point for two minutes with oil. It has the same calming effect as a nice foot massage.

If you are traveling soon, check out these acupressure points on CNN Go.

Traditional Chinese Medicine originated in ancient China thousands of years ago. It is characterized as Complimentary and Alternate Medicine (CAM) in the United States.

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine?

Treatments or therapies derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine include Acupuncture, Acupressure, Massage Therapy, Dietary Therapy, Herbs, etc.  There is little scientific evidence about the effectiveness of TCM. Acupuncture is considered a safe therapy since a lot of research has been done about it already. According to the Natural Health Interview Survey, 3.1 Million adults in the US used Acupuncture in 2006.

The Huang Di Nei Jing is the Chinese Medicine text that documents the underlying concepts of how Traditional Chinese Medicine works. Acupuncture is used for Back Pain and Depression. Chinese herbal medicine is used for Diabetes, Cancer, and Heart Disease.

The YouTube video in this post tours you through a Refloxology Park in South Korea.  People walk on stones to stimulate reflex points at the bottom of the feet.  The concept behind acupressure fitness mats comes is the same.  Instead of stones, the mat uses plastic pyramid style acupressure points (and lots of them) to stimulate your reflex points.

What is Acupressure?

Acupressure is an ancient traditional Chinese healing art that uses the fingers to press potent points on the whole body surface.  It works by stimulating the body’s self creative abilities.  Acupressure mainly focuses on relieving pain and discomfort as well as it responds to tension before it develops into a “dis-ease”.  When the key points of the body are pressed, they promote the circulation of the blood and release muscular tension.  In Acupressure, it is said that “Pain is the cry of hungry nerve for the want of better blood supply”.  Acupressure Therapy is approved by World Health Organization in Geneva.
