Description

An Acupressure Slipper is therapeutic footwear designed to provide a continuous, stimulating foot massage based on the principles of acupressure and reflexology. The sole of the slipper is embedded with strategically placed raised nodes, often in a pyramid or dome shape, made from plastic. These nodes apply pressure to specific reflex points on the soles of the feet, which are believed to correspond to various organs and systems in the body. The goal is to stimulate these points as you walk, promoting circulation, relaxation, and overall well-being.
