 Acupressure is based on the same concepts of meridians and acu-points as acupuncture, but fingertip pressure is used rather than needles. It generally produces better results than conventional massage.Acupressure primarily affects the body as a whole. It can be used to treat a large range of health problems, but it is particularly effective for headaches, tension, depression and fatigue, as well as neck and back problems. As a preventive therapy there is a good chance that some illnesses will be caught very early as a result of acupressure treatment. |

 Electroacupuncture is quite similar to traditional acupuncture in that the same points are stimulated during treatment. The needles are attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses using small clips. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. It is commonly used for muscle spasms; and the neurological disorders. |
 Far Infrared Therapy (FIR) utilizes far infrared radiation to stimulate local and general blood circulation in order to treat various disorders and to relieve pain. It may also be used for muscle disorders and rheumatic diseases or in the relief of pain caused by minor muscle damage. Far infrared light penetrates to a depth of about 30-40 mm which makes it more effective for bones, joints, deep muscles, etc. |

 A key difference is that drugs directly attack or "kill" disease, whereas herbs rely on the use of various measures to strengthen the body so it can fight the disease itself. Herbs act as a supplement to provide our body with micro-nutrients. They take time to work. A drug can provide almost instant relief from symptoms. However, they do not work to supply these nutrients the body needs to repair itself. Herbal pills is commonly seen from of herbal medicine. It is produced by combining powdered medicinal substances with water, honey, rice powder. |
