The Salveo Wellness acupressure mat & pillow set is a tool that is designed to stimulate pressure points on the body. The mat consists of a flat surface covered with thousands of small, plastic spikes. The spikes are arranged in a pattern that is designed to target acupressure points on the body.

Acupressure mats are based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, which hold that stimulating certain points on the body can help to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Users lie on the mat and allow the spikes to press against their skin, which can create a prickly, tingling sensation.* As noted in the 2016 clinical trial PMCID: PMC4286457

When you lie on an acupressure mat, the spikes apply pressure to your skin, stimulating the nerve endings and increasing blood flow to the affected areas. This can help to reduce tension and pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.* As noted in the 2016 clinical trial PMCID: PMC4286457

Acupressure mats are often used for back pain, headaches, neck pain, and other types of chronic pain.* They can also be used to relieve stress, improve sleep, and promote overall wellness. They are generally safe to use, but it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new therapy.

Does it hurt?

When you lie on an acupressure mat, the spikes apply pressure to your skin, stimulating the nerve endings and increasing blood flow to the affected areas. It provides a strange sensation which may take a short time getting used to. After a while you get used to the sensation and together with the release of oxytocin it actually feels relaxing.
