The modern-day Bed of Nails is predominantly a mat with plastic Spiky Lotus flower, shaped Buttons attached to it, which you lie on. The Bed of Nails theory relies on the stimulation of the body’s nervous system through the nails, which also promotes blood circulation. The nails do not pierce the skin, even though it may seem like they will if you lie on the mat! This is because of the even distribution of body weight on all the nails, so that only a small amount of pressure is applied to each area of the body in contact with the spiky mat. Acupressure may also help the body rid itself of toxins, so it is important to drink water after using the Bed of Nails

Bed of Nails is an excellent aid in self-treatment that helps stimulate energy in the body through the countless therapeutic properties of acupressure and reflexology, can help relieve stress and fatigue, reduce muscle tension in the neck, shoulders and back, boost blood and lymph circulation and facilitate sleep. While triggering the body’s innate way of healing itself, it is an effective tool for easing tension and inducing a state of deep relaxation. The pressure of the spiky lotus flower shaped rounded nails against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which makes you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!). Acupressure may alleviate a whole host of pain issues, including chronic neck and back pain, sore muscles and headaches, daily stress and even help you sleep. Everybody reacts differently to acupressure, and the effects may even vary from time to time; you may feel sleepy, alert, relaxed, happy and a clearer mind.

Lie on the NY Acupressure mat in the comfort at home, outdoors or on Travel whenever as you want. Rest your back (or any other area of your body) for 20-50 minutes, depending on the condition you wish to treat and the amount of time at your disposal.

THE SCIENCE BEDHIND NY ACUPRESSURE   MATS

The "bed of nails" principle demonstrates that weight distribution significantly reduces pressure. By spreading a weight over many points, the pressure exerted on each point is lowered, making it possible to lie on a bed of nails without getting injured. The key is that the total force is the same, but it's distributed across a much larger area.
