10 Benefits of Regular Use of an Acupressure Mat
Introduction: Conventional Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine - a brief overview
Conventional Western medicine, also known as conventional medicine, does not always have the right answer when it comes to stress-related complaints or overload. Of course, you can treat the symptoms with medication and take painkillers or sleep aids, but this approach is not sustainable.
Traditional Chinese Medicine follows a holistic approach that includes body, mind, and soul. And thus also your lifestyle, your environment, and your current emotions. Western doctors have long scoffed at it because they cannot explain it. Yet they have to admit that it works. This shift in views only began in the 1990s and is still not complete. But it is gradually being used by more and more doctors at least as a complementary method.
Why and how does acupressure help?
Acupressure is part of Chinese medicine. By stimulating, that is pressing various points on the skin, the energy flow in the body is supposed to be regulated. By stimulating these points, endorphins are released in the body, which promote muscle relaxation and blood circulation. This is exactly where the acupressure mat comes in, resulting in our 10 benefits of using an acupressure mat. Because reducing stress, promoting relaxation and well-being, and improving sleep quality can also be achieved without medication, even if the world is hectic and we always expect immediate effects. 
-
Relief from back pain and muscle tension
Do you suffer from back pain or tension? After hours of sitting at the desk, shoulders, neck, and back can hurt. An acupressure mat helps to relieve these tensions. Thousands of small spikes apply pressure to the body, promote blood circulation, and reduce pain. Many users report feeling significantly more relaxed and mobile afterward – maybe soon you too?
-
Stress reduction and deep relaxation
Everyday life is often stressful. A short break on the acupressure mat can act like a reset for your nervous system. The spikes stimulate the release of endorphins – the "happy hormones" – and lower the stress hormone cortisol. Just 15 to 20 minutes are enough to reduce stress and enter a state of deep relaxation. One user describes it as “pure relaxation, almost like after a massage.”
-
Improvement of sleep
Do you have trouble switching off in the evening? The relaxing effect of the mat prepares your body ideally for sleep. Many use it as a fixed evening ritual to fall asleep more easily and sleep better through the night. Some even fall asleep directly on the mat – that’s how effective the effect is!
-
Promotion of blood circulation
When lying on the mat, you often feel a slight tingling or warmth – a sign that blood circulation is being stimulated. Your muscles are better supplied with oxygen and nutrients, which supports regeneration. The result? More energy and a more vital feeling in everyday life.
-
More energy
Although the mat has a relaxing effect, users often report a boost of energy afterward. The stimulated blood circulation clears blockages and gives you new strength. A short application, whether in the morning or during lunch break, can refresh you and improve your focus.
-
Relief from headaches
Tension headaches often arise from tense muscles in the neck and shoulder area. With the acupressure mat, these tensions can be specifically relieved, which often leads to noticeable relief. A natural alternative to painkillers that is easy to implement.

Support for mental well-being
Using the mat is not only physically beneficial but also a moment of mindfulness. While lying on the mat, you can fully focus on your breathing and relax completely in the here and now. These small breaks promote inner peace and serenity.

Easy use at home
The best part: You don’t need expensive massages or physiotherapy sessions. Your acupressure mat is always ready to use – whether on the floor, in bed, or on a chair. Use it while reading, listening to music, or meditating. Just 10 minutes are enough, and you can gradually increase the duration.
