Why Acupressure?
For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has recognized that the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body is essential for health and vitality. Acupressure is a fundamental practice for stimulating specific points along the meridians, helping to regulate Qi flow, release tension, and support the body's natural healing abilities.
While fingers can be used for acupressure, they can tire easily and may not reach deeper points with precision. Our Double-Ended Brass Acupressure Stick is designed specifically to provide accurate, comfortable, and lasting pressure for acupoint stimulation.
The beauty of acupressure? It's remarkably simple to learn and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. With just a few minutes a day, you can bring the wisdom of this ancient healing art into your modern life.
Our Double-Ended Brass Acupressure Stick is thoughtfully crafted from solid brass, featuring two different-sized rounded tips. The brass surface is hand-polished to a smooth, rounded finish—gentle on the skin yet firm enough for effective acupoint stimulation. The slender stick shape fits naturally between your fingers, allowing you to apply steady, controlled pressure to acupoints anywhere on your body.
Compact and lightweight, this tool fits easily in your hand, purse, or pocket—perfect for daily self-care and on-the-go relief. Whether you're looking to relieve tension headaches, stimulate energy points, or support overall wellness, the Double-Ended Brass Acupressure Stick is ready to accompany you.
Two Tips for Different Needs
The double-ended design features two different-sized rounded tips:
- Large Tip (1.2cm): Ideal for broader acupoints and larger body areas such as shoulders, back, and legs. Provides comfortable, even pressure over a wider surface.
- Small Tip (0.4cm): Perfect for precise acupoints on the face, hands, feet, and smaller body areas. Allows for targeted, focused pressure on specific points.
Simply flip the stick to switch between tips based on your needs.
Unique Properties of Brass for Acupressure
Brass (copper-zinc alloy) has been used in traditional healing for centuries. Here's why brass is especially effective for acupressure:
- Precise Pressure: The smooth, rounded brass tips deliver focused pressure to acupoints without slipping or causing discomfort.
- Rapid Heat Conduction: Brass conducts heat quickly. As you press, the tips warm up to your skin temperature, creating a soothing warmth that helps relax muscles and improve circulation.
- Comfortable Firmness: The solid brass provides firm yet gentle pressure—effective for activating acupoints without causing bruising or pain.
- Natural Antibacterial Properties: Brass has natural antimicrobial properties, making it hygienic for repeated use on the skin.
- Ergonomic Design: The slender stick shape fits naturally between your fingers, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
Benefits of Acupressure
- Relieves Tension Headaches: Pressing Hegu (LI4) between thumb and index finger can help alleviate headaches.
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Stimulating points like Neiguan (PC6) on the inner wrist helps calm the mind.
- Supports Digestion: Pressing Zusanli (ST36) below the knee supports digestive health and energy.
- Eases Neck and Shoulder Tension: Stimulating Jianjing (GB21) on the shoulders helps release tightness.
- Improves Sleep: Pressing points like Shenmen (HT7) on the wrist can promote relaxation and better sleep.
- Boosts Energy and Vitality: Regular acupressure helps regulate Qi flow and support overall well-being.
- Portable and Convenient: Small enough to use anytime, anywhere—at your desk, while traveling, or at home.
How to Use
Prepare: Before each use, gently wipe the tips and stick with a soft, dry cloth. No oil is needed for acupressure—use on clean, dry skin.
Choose the Right Tip: Select the large tip (1.2cm) for broader acupoints and larger body areas, or the small tip (0.4cm) for precise points on the face, hands, and feet.
Locate the Acupoint: Refer to your acupressure point guide to find the specific point you wish to stimulate.
Apply Pressure: Hold the stick like a pen or between your fingers. Place the rounded tip directly on the acupoint. Apply steady, gentle pressure—firm enough to feel a dull ache or mild sensation, but never sharp pain. Press and hold for 30-60 seconds.
Circular Motion (Optional): For more active stimulation, use small circular motions as you press.
Breathe and Release: As you hold the pressure, take slow, deep breaths. When you are ready, slowly release the pressure. Repeat on the same point 2-3 times, or move to other acupoints as desired.
Common Acupoints:
- Hegu (LI4): Between thumb and index finger—for headaches and stress.
- Neiguan (PC6): On inner forearm, about 2 cun above wrist crease—for nausea and anxiety.
- Zusanli (ST36): Below the knee, about 3 cun below kneecap—for digestion and energy.
- Jianjing (GB21): At the highest point of the shoulder—for neck and shoulder tension.
- Shenmen (HT7): On the wrist crease, below the little finger—for sleep and calm.
- Taiyang (EX-HN5): At the temples—for headaches and eye strain.
Post-Massage Care: After your session, drink a glass of warm water to support hydration and metabolism.
Pro Tips: Use light to moderate pressure—never painful. The brass tips naturally warm up with use—this gentle heat enhances the acupressure effect. Use for 1-3 minutes on each point. Clean the tool after each use with a soft, dry cloth. Combine with deep breathing for enhanced relaxation.

About the Design: The double-ended design features two different-sized rounded tips—a larger tip for broader acupoints and body areas, and a smaller tip for precise points on the face, hands, and feet. The slender stick shape fits naturally between your fingers for comfortable, controlled pressure.
About Brass & Care: The tool is made from solid brass with no coating. The tips are hand-polished to a smooth, rounded finish. This allows for optimal heat conduction and gentle stimulation. Over time, brass naturally oxidizes when exposed to air, moisture, or oils—developing a darker patina. This is normal and does not affect function. The patina is a sign of authentic, uncoated brass. After each use, wipe the tool with a soft, dry cloth to remove moisture and oil. If oxidation occurs, gently polish with baking soda paste or lemon juice and salt, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking in water or storing in humid environments.
Each piece has its own unique character—no two are exactly alike.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth before and after each use.
- No oil needed for acupressure—use on clean, dry skin.
- Wipe dry after each use to slow oxidation.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
