Are acupressure and acupuncture the same?
Hello, Acupuncture is not the same thing as acupressure. Acupuncture uses needles on certain points of our bodies and the needles will be retained for around 30 mins. Of course, they penetrate the skin, and the effect is stronger and lasts longer. Acupressure is a stimulation of the points with the hand. It helps somewhat but the effects are not very strong nor do they last long. READ MORE
