What Are Acupressure mats Designed to Do?

The idea of acupressure mats, like acupressure itself, is based on acupuncture, a medical technique that has been used successfully in many parts of the world for over 3,000 years.

Acupressure, like acupuncture, is routed in the concept of Qi, the energy source that flows along pathways throughout the body. When these pathways (meridians) become blocked, pain and illness result. Therefore, by applying pressure to carefully charted trigger points along those meridians, we can restore a healthy flow and relieve pain and illness.

Acupressure mats are constructed with small plastic “spikes” that will press into the skin to stimulate the designated acu-points. By sitting, lying, or standing on an acupressure mat, the individual experiences therapy that mimics an acupuncture or acupressure treatment administered by a trained professional. As such, it may duplicate the therapeutic effects of such a treatment.

An acupressure mat improves blood and lymph circulation by applying pressure to specific points on the body through its small spikes, which stimulate the skin and underlying tissues, essentially mimicking the effects of acupuncture without needles, thereby promoting blood flow and lymphatic drainage in the targeted areas; this can be particularly beneficial for reducing muscle tension, pain, and swelling, while also potentially aiding in toxin removal.

Acupressure mats are non-invasive, natural pain relief with no side-effects.

Why is the Tibetan Acupressure mat the best among the panoply of Acupressure mats on the market today?

• Only Tibetan Acupressure Mats are the sharpest on the market with an optimal and the most effective count of spikes distributed evenly for the best possible result
• The spike count should be a maximum of 20 spikes per flower, as any greater number reduces the effect of acupressure treatment (the more spikes, the closer they sit together; the less the acupressure effect).
• Spikes on our Acupressure Mats are coloured Red to add colour therapy to your treatment. The Red colour is used to energise your acupressure points.
• Tibetan Acupressure Mats are manufactured in a Healthy and Safe environment in the EU. Only certified and environmentally friendly materials (plastic, glue and fabric) are used in the making of the mats
• The use of Linen means the mats do not cause any allergies and eliminates the possibility of skin irritation. Linen naturally suppresses live pathogenic micro flora, bacteria and fungi. Linen flax is actually an effective barrier to some diseases
• Not using any bleaching process for our Linen base. The fabric is kept natural to maximise it's inherent properties
• Not Using foam or sponge padding. In use pads made with foam or sponge can cause skin to overheat. The padding can also become a breeding ground for Dust Mites which can cause allergic reactions in their own right!
• Using only the highest standard of materials: medical plastic and non-toxic glue for our Acupressure mats
• Sharpness and density of the spines on Tibetan Acupressure mats are different to the milder versions of competitors. Tibetan Acupressure mats have not been 'domesticated' to appeal to cultural norms! Acupressure mats work best when the spines are sharp, this has been clinically proved. That is why the spines on Tibetan Acupressure Mats are sharp. That is why with Tibetan Acupressure Mats positive results are guaranteed whereas with competitor mats it can only be truthfully stated that mats MAY help with similar problems
• The maximum effect from using an Acupressure mat can only be achieved by using it on a hard flat surface. The flat base and Spike distribution of the Tibetan Acupressure Mat is a vital part of treatment quality and results. Padded mats or increased spike density simply reduce the Acupressure effect
• Tibetan Acupressure Mats are very compact and easy to use anywhere, even if you are away on Holidays
• Tibetan Acupressure Mats regularly receive the highest ratings by people who test different mats for value and effectiveness
