Acupressure mats have become very popular in recent years for their many health and wellness benefits. Inspired by the principles of traditional Chinese acupuncture, these mats feature thousands of tiny spikes that stimulate the body's acupressure points when you lie on them. Their regular use is said to relieve pain, reduce stress, improve blood circulation and promote restful sleep.
There are different models of acupressure mats on the market, with different designs and features to suit all needs. The Flower Field Mat, for example, is a very popular model for its natural and relaxing side.
