Benefits of Takama Acupressure
Evolution has developed the complex and sensitive system that is our body. For the system to work there must be flow. Obvious flows include nerves, blood, lymph, thoughts and digestion, but flow also covers absorption of nutrients, chakras, meridians, synovial fluid in the joints, spinal fluid, the movement of oxygen through the lung wall and many others. When the body is flowing we are generally healthy, happy and focused. The role of acupressure, to maintain optimal flow, has been paramount in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 2000 years, and the fact that it is still in use today is a testimony to its effectiveness in the treatment of illness and pain.
Takama hand held products have been developed to stimulate acupressure points within the body, increasing our body's flow and removing blockages. They are simple to use and deliver quick results. By using them as directed by your practitioner or as shown in Takama videos you will bring your body back to balance and you will see a relaxation of your mind, body and spirit, which in turn leads to a positive impact on your well-being from both a psychological and physical perspective.
