I have unfortunately dealt with migraines on a semi-consistent basis for the past 10 years or so. I’ve went to multiple different doctors, specialists, have had several CT scans, MRI’s, allergy tests, only to hear that my migraines were most likely stress related. I was prescribed a few different strong medications but was terrified to take any because the risks often outweighed the benefits. I sought out for a natural, harmless way to releive my pain and discovered acupressure about 2 years ago. I can honestly say it has been one of the best things I’ve ever found and has benefitted me in many ways. Since turning to an acupressure mat and a few other holistic remedies, I’ve experienced migraines a lot less frequently and found one of my all time favorite products that helps relax my body & my mind.
The highest quality, best therapeutic massage mat I’ve come across thus far is the Pranamat ECO. I use it every single night for about 15-20 minutes before I go to bed to completely relax and unwind and let my daily stressors fade away. PranaLine’s team of experienced professionals aim to bring effective, eco-friendly products made of pure materials to health-conscious individuals across the globe. The 4 basic principles for the Pranamat ECO: deeply relax muscles, boost blood circulation, heal and rejuvenate internal organs and endorphin production. Endorphins = natural pain and stress fighters which are essential for your general wellbeing (and sanity!).
The design of this mat incorporates traditional acupressure principles. Acupressure has been a tradition in Chinese medicine practiced for centuries. It is an art used to heal and balance the body and mind and also raise consciousness through the use of contact points. According to ancient chinese principles of medicine, the bodies energy (Qi) flows through meridians (which connect specific organs) and if it is blocked at any point it is thought to be the cause of illness. Some of the benefits of acupressure include stress relief, increased energy, a restful night’s sleep and much, much more.
I’ll be honest, this definitely takes some getting used to. Laying on pointed lotus flowers probably doesn’t look too comfortable, but after a few uses you will begin to relax and reap the benefits and find yourself reaching for this daily. If you experience migraines (works wonders for lower back pain also) this is definitely worth checking out. http://www.pranamat.com
