Relieve Pain, Boost Energy, and Sleep Better With This Acupressure Mat

When you first see the Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set from ProSource, you’ll notice the beautiful sun-shaped buttons adorning the entire mat and accompanying pillow. Yet upon closer inspection, you’ll see that these ‘buttons’ are actually sharp acupressure points. Your next question might be, “What exactly do you expect me to do with these?!”
As it turns out, these simple little acupressure points do a whole lot of good for your body on a physical (both internal and external) and mental level. Spending just a few minutes a day on this acupressure mat can:
- Improve your quality of sleep
- Boost your energy
- Provide pain relief (from back, neck and shoulder pain, to fibromyalgia, sciatica and headaches)
- Increase your circulation
- Cultivate relaxation and provide stress relief
Wait wait wait – what is an acupressure mat, and how does it help relieve pain, boost energy, and cultivate better sleep?!
Both acupressure and acupuncture are ancient Chinese healing therapies. While acupuncture uses needles to adjust the body’s energy flow, acupressure provides similar effects without actually puncturing the skin. Both techniques offer a wide range of health benefits.
Both techniques also work with the body’s meridian lines, which are pathways that connect to each other and also to internal organs throughout the body. The acupressure points on the mat (similar to a bed of nails) deliver healing energy (known in yoga as prana, or life force energy) to all the systems of the body, similar to how the veins deliver blood.
So you want me to lay on a bed of nails?
Yes! This ‘bed of nails’ design activates the meridian points throughout your body. You will feel a rush of energy, stimulation, and intense physical focus that you will want to come back to over and over again.
Improved sleep yields better mood, mental clarity and focus, increased energy, a stronger immune system, and decreased pain.
Why? Because this sensation causes the body to release endorphins – mood-boosting chemicals that also work as natural painkillers. The list of potential benefits includes a healthy energy boost, increased blood circulation, stress reduction, improved sleep, pain relief, and reduced inflammation.
The coolest feature of this particular Acupressure Mat is that it comes with a matching pillow that provides neck support, makes it more comfortable to lay on, and gives pain relief for the neck and base of head specifically.
What we love about this Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set
Simply lying on the mat for 5-10 minutes a day to start (you can work up to 20 minutes or more once you feel comfortable, and you can always start by placing a sheet between you and the acupressure points) will bring a vast range of health and wellness benefits.
Beyond the benefits listed above, the ‘side effects’ of those benefits are just as important . . .
Increased blood circulation often results in healthier skin, quicker healing throughout the body (which in turn helps alleviate pain), and improved organ function. Improved sleep yields better mood, mental clarity and focus, increased energy, a stronger immune system, and decreased pain.
The Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set by ProSource turns acupressure into an easy, at-home resource that’s easy and effective. The Acupressure Mat is over two feet long with 6,210 acupressure points, and the Neck Pillow has 1,782 acupressure points. Both are made from 100% cotton and flexible foam.
