Cause Of Acupressure

The human body has been perfectly created, to function optimally providing we observe the laws of nature. When we divert from these through breathing polluted air, eating food far from its’ natural state, drinking chemical laden water, ingesting toxic medication, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, using inorganic body and household products, being exposed to electromagnetic pollution and even thinking negative thoughts, imbalances result within the body creating dis-ease.
