About Acupressure Guide
Our mission is to make evidence-based acupressure information accessible to everyone. We bridge the gap between the traditional understanding of acupressure and what modern research can and cannot support.
Our Mission
Acupressure Guide was created to provide accurate, practical, and scientifically-informed information about acupressure. We believe that everyone should have access to safe, effective self-care tools that can complement conventional healthcare.
Every article on this site is written with three principles in mind: accuracy (grounded in both TCM tradition and modern research), practicality (clear, actionable instructions you can use immediately), and safety (clear guidance on contraindications and when to seek professional care).
Who Writes and Reviews This Site
Acupressure Guide is written and edited by a small editorial team focused on health content. No individual on this team is a licensed physician or TCM practitioner, and we do not claim medical credentials we do not hold.
Instead, our approach is transparent: every article summarizes what the peer-reviewed literature says on a topic, links directly to the verifiable sources (PubMed, Cochrane, and professional bodies) so you can check our claims yourself, and clearly marks the difference between traditional uses, clinical observations, and research-supported evidence.
Content on this site is for general informational purposes. We are careful to flag red-flag symptoms and advise seeing a clinician when something may be serious — because self-care guidance is only safe when it knows its limits.
Editorial Standards
- All content is reviewed for accuracy before publication and updated when research changes
- Health claims link to verifiable sources — PubMed records, Cochrane reviews, and professional health bodies
- We cite only sources we have opened and verified at the link provided
- Traditional uses are clearly distinguished from evidence-based applications
- Safety information includes clear contraindications and medical disclaimers
- Where evidence is thin, we say so plainly instead of overstating support
Our Sources
Every guide on this site is built from peer-reviewed research and established references rather than opinion. We read the primary literature, link to it directly so you can verify each claim yourself, and we name the limits of the evidence plainly. The external sources we rely on and recommend include:
- PubMed — the U.S. National Library of Medicine's database of biomedical literature, our primary source for study citations.
- Cochrane Library — systematic reviews and evidence summaries, including the P6/PC6 nausea review we cite.
- NHS (UK National Health Service) — plain-language, clinically-reviewed health information.
- Mayo Clinic — clinician-authored condition and treatment references.
We are an independent editorial project and are not affiliated with any of these organizations. Linking to them is a transparency measure so you can cross-check what we write against trusted authorities.
