Using an acupressure mat has serveral benefits. They include improved relaxation, clarity, and pain reduction. It also boosts energy and sleep. Here's a summary of the advantages:

Enhanced Relaxation and Mental Clarity:

The acupressure mat helps you relax. It does this by stimulating pressure points. This promotes calmness and reduces overstimulation.

Regular use can clear the mind and improve focus. It makes it easier to manage stress and anxiety.

Reduction of Discomfort and Pain:

The mat's pressure points improve energy flow. This can reduce discomfort from muscle tension, headaches, and chronic pain.

Endorphins: When your body experiences pain, it releases endorphins. Endorphins are your body's natural painkillers and mood enhancers. They reduce pain perception. They can create euphoria, often called the "runner's high." Using an acupressure mat triggers the release of endorphins. This helps to ease pain and improve well-being.

Oxytocin: Your body responds to touch and pressure, such as the sensation from the spikes on an acupressure mat. When you experience this touch, your body produces oxytocin. It is called the "love hormone." Oxytocin links to comfort, relaxation, and bonding. The initial pain from the spikes triggers the release of oxytocin. This can lead to a sense of deep relaxation and reduced stress over time. This hormone boosts mood, relaxes the body, and makes the mat more enjoyable.

Improved Energy Levels and Sleep Quality:

Energy Levels: Using it regularly can raise energy. It's doing this by easing pain and discomfort. This leads to a sense of well-being.

Sleep quality: The relaxation and pain relief provided by the mat can improve sleep quality. This benefits energy levels and overall health. Who doesn't want to start their day rested and energized?

In our experience, and that of most users, 20 to 40 minutes per session of use gives the best results for improving circulation, reducing stress, and managing pain.

We recommend that beginners start with 10 minutes to get used to the pressure points. When this feels comfortable, increase the time by 5 minutes.

You can use an acupressure mat in a variety of ways to treat various parts of your body. Here are some popular uses:

Back and shoulders: The most common way to use a nail mat is by lying on your back. This helps relieve tension and pain in your back and shoulders.

Lower back: Place the nail mat under your lower back while lying down. This can help relieve lower back pain and promote better posture.

Neck: Use a nail pillow in conjunction with the mat. Place the pillow under your neck for extra comfort and to reduce tension in your neck muscles.

Stomach: Some people find it relaxing to lie with their stomach on the mat. This can help promote digestion and reduce stress. Read more about stomach laying here.

Legs: Place the mat under your legs while lying or sitting. This can help relieve tension and improve circulation in your legs. Read more about using an acupressure mat on legs here.

Feet: Stand on the nail mat to stimulate the pressure points in your feet. This can be particularly effective for relieving pain and improving overall energy levels. If standing on the mat is too painful, sit in a chair with the mat in front of you. Apply pressure if you want more intensity. Read more about using an acupressure mat on feet here.

The ideal frequency of using an acupressure mat depends on your personal preferences and needs. Some use the mat daily. Others find once a week sufficient. On average, most users like 3 to 4 times a week. Experiment to find out what works well for you.

Start with a frequency that feels comfortable for you and adjust it based on what you feel comfortable with. Listen to your body to avoid overuse. If you feel discomfort or pain, it is a good idea to take a break. There is nothing wrong with putting the mat aside for a while and rediscovering the benefits.
