Popis: Acupressure is an ancient healing art using the fingers to gradually press key healing points, which stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. It was developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago. Thousands of nerves are ending in the fingers & palms. The idea of this article is to provide acupressure therapy for the palm and figures of the hand by designing a cotton cushion in which electronically controlled airbags are incorporated. This helps to stimulate the circulation of the blood, warming the hands & helping muscle tone, results in enhancing the calmness and relaxing effects of a hand massage on the whole body.
