Acupressure therapy has been used for thousands of years. Some key benefits are, natural pain relief, anti Inflammatory, creation of Dopamine, Endorphin & Oxytocin, increased energy, relives fatigue, improves sleep, and creates a general uplift in mood & mental health.
The Kidda Body & Mind acupressure mat works from the moment you sit, stand or lay on it. Upon contact with your skin, the spikes get to work stimulating your muscles, releasing endorphins and improving the circulation.
The Kidda Body & Mind acupressure mat, can be used from head to toe, relieving pain, exhaustion and improving your general health & wellbeing.
We suggest you start using the mat lay down, with on a bed or hard floor, with a thin tee shirt on. Once you have got used to the sensation of the spikes on your body, remove the tee shirt and increase the time spent on the mat.
#TopTip - Always drink a glass of water before and after to ensure you stay hydrated and to flush out the toxins released into your body during the acupressure session.
#TopTip - Avoid coffee and alcohol immediately after an acupressure session, as both cause dehydration and reduce the ability to flush the toxins from your system.
The simple answer is anytime, but we suggest you tailor your sessions around the times you need an impact. There is generally no time limit for use, however should you stay on a mat for longer than 90 minutes, the skin may be a little tender shortly after getting up. We recommend a maximum of 60 minutes, but it is personal choice if you wish to stay on the mat for longer.
#TopTip - Energy Booster = 20 minutes
#TopTip - Relax, Sleep, Pain Relief = 30 to 60 minutes
The Kidda Body & Mind acupressure mats may take a session or two to get your body used to the sensation. We find that building up slowly on a softer surface and wearing a thin shirt, really helps the body acclimatise.
The Kidda body & Mind acupressure mats are as ECO friendly as possible, we use recyclable ABS plastic spikes, 100% Cotton mat, pillow & bag. Our fillers comprise of natural biodegradable Kapok in our pillow, and coconut fibres in our mats.
