If you’re new to acupressure, you might be wondering—how does it actually work? Is there real science behind it? Or is it just another wellness trend?

At Calmi™, we believe in backing our products with real-world effectiveness. Acupressure is an ancient technique that has been practiced for thousands of years, but modern research is now uncovering its potential benefits in stress relief, sleep improvement, and relaxation.

How Acupressure Works

Acupressure is a non-invasive therapy that involves applying gentle pressure to specific points on the body, known as acupoints. These points are believed to be connected to the body’s nervous system and energy pathways (sometimes called meridians in traditional medicine).

When stimulated, these acupoints may help:

✔️ Trigger endorphin release – Endorphins are the body’s natural painkillers and mood boosters, helping to create a sense of relaxation and well-being.

✔️ Regulate the nervous system – Research suggests acupressure can help reduce stress hormones like cortisol, promoting calmness.

✔️ Improve circulation and oxygen flow – This may contribute to better sleep quality and reduced muscle tension.

✔️ Provide drug-free relief – Unlike medications, acupressure offers a natural, side-effect-free way to support relaxation and stress relief.

Is Acupressure Backed by Science?

While acupressure originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), modern research has explored its effectiveness in several areas, including stress reduction, sleep improvement, and anxiety relief.

Key Scientific Findings:

🔹 Stress & Anxiety Relief

A 2015 study published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies found that acupressure significantly reduced anxiety levels in participants compared to a control group.

🔹 Improved Sleep Quality

A 2017 study in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that acupressure helped improve sleep quality in people with insomnia by stimulating points related to relaxation.

🔹 Motion Sickness & Nausea Relief

The P6 acupoint on the wrist (commonly targeted by acupressure bands) has been extensively studied for reducing nausea, motion sickness, and even chemotherapy-related sickness.

Why the PC8 Acupressure Point?

Calmi™ is designed to target the PC8 (Pericardium 8) acupressure point, which is linked to:

✅ Reducing stress and anxiety

✅ Promoting relaxation and calmness

✅ Helping regulate emotional balance

By gently stimulating this point with microcurrent therapy, Calmi™ helps enhance the benefits of acupressure for deeper relaxation and better sleep.

Why Choose Acupressure Over Other Solutions?

Many people turn to medication, supplements, or other sleep aids to manage stress and sleep issues. While these methods can be effective, they also come with downsides such as:

❌ Drowsiness & dependency – Some sleep medications can lead to reliance and grogginess.

❌ Side effects – Many anti-anxiety medications and supplements come with unwanted side effects.

❌ Temporary fixes – These solutions often mask the symptoms instead of addressing the root cause.

Acupressure offers a natural, non-invasive alternative that works with your body’s own mechanisms to promote relaxation and balance—without side effects.
