  1. Acupuncture vs. Acupressure: What’s The Difference?

  2. Acupuncture and acupressure are forms of Traditional Chinese medicine that focus on Qi, which is considered the body’s life force energy. Studies link the two treatments with a plethora of health benefits involving everything from your digestive system to mood disorders. While the methods share similarities, they also differ in significant ways. Here’s everything you need to know about acupuncture and acupressure—and whether either may be a good fit for you.

  3. What Is Acupuncture? Acupuncture involves the insertion of hair-thin, sterile needles into different points in the body by licensed, trained professionals. Traditionally, acupuncture attempts to stimulate the meridians (think of them as energy pathways) in the body so it can balance itself. Needles are inserted into acupuncture points throughout the body—practitioners believe there to be more than 2,000 of them—which are connected by the meridians.

  4. What Is Acupressure? Acupressure is another Traditional Chinese medicine tool that’s similar to acupuncture, but it’s noninvasive. Acupressure is a needle-free treatment that exclusively involves applying pressure to the skin.
