What is acupressure and how does it work?
Acupressure is a gentle, natural technique that uses light pressure on specific points of the body. Our bands stimulate wellness points—like the P6 acupoint on the wrist—to help support your body’s natural balance and emotional grounding.
Which style is right for me?
We offer two types of bands:
Adjustable Hook-and-Loop Bands (e.g., AcuCalm, Designer, AcuBalance):

Durable and waterproof, made with natural rubber latex — great for travel, swimming, and everyday wear.
⚠️ If you have latex sensitivities, please choose an adjustable style.
