Tapas Acupressure Technique

This is a technique for weight loss maintenance. A trial supported by a grant from the National Center for Complementary/Alternative Medicine, National Institutes of Health, USA has proved that this technique is the most effective for weight loss than any other technique.

Another procedure which has been extensively investigated and found to be effective is the use of acupressure wristband for treatment of motion sickness and nausea symptoms.

The P6 accupressure point is stimulated by this band. According to Cochrane Collaboration which is a group of Evidence Based Medicine review, using the P6 for nausea and vomiting is very effective. This is used more during post operative periods to reduce nausea.

Another study by the Cochrane Collaboration showed that long term relief from lower back pain was got by massaging that part. This review states that the acupressure point massage provides more effective relief to the patient than the traditional Swedish massage.
