HemingWeigh Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set with Bag for Neck, Upper and Lower Back Pain Relief, Acupuncture Pad, Large Massage Acupressure Mat,Full Body Acupoint, Blue

I bought this acupressure mat to help me relax and maybe help me with my back pain. 7 years ago I had a lil accident and my back on my right side has been hurting since then. When I did consider getting help and was referred to a massage therapist, the pandemic came, and so I stayed home and didn't attend any of the sessions. Today is the first time I used it. When I put my back on it the very first time, it didn't hurt like I expected; I was wearing a silky top as a barrier to protect my skin. However, my back started itching like crazy as if there was something on the mat that I was allergic to. I quickly googled to see if it's a common reaction to these kinds of mat. Apparently, it is not. I had the idea to do it bare-skin. That's when it worked for me. Yes, I felt the pain from the "needles" sinking into my skin; my blood was pumping; after some time I felt a cold feeling, and then after some more time a warm feeling. It was not uncomfortable. I couldn't feel much on my right side. I turned a little and lifted my arm to feel something and I did. I stayed on the mat for 15 minutes. Yes, my back was all red with little "holes" on the skin. But, I felt great. That's why I stayed so long. I felt better. Guess what? My right side feels better and I can turn my head towards my right shoulder without pain. I am not saying it is a miracle/cure-all product, but it works and can help you feel better. I did for me.

I am actually lying on this acupressure mat while I’m writing this review. This mat and pillow are amazing. I have a lot of aches and pains, migraines, insomnia, and every time I get off the mat I find myself feeling significantly better. When I use it before bed I sleep better. I don’t know how it’s doing whatever it is that it’s doing, but I’m a big fan. I do know it’s relaxing and it’s improving my circulation and easing my pain. If you’re considering buying this I reccomend that you go for it. It’s inexpensive for the benefits, it comes in a choice of pretty colors, and it has a little mesh drawstring bag to keep the pillow and mat neatly stored in when you’re not using it. It’s also small enough to travel with, which I will absolutely be doing.

I've actually enjoyed success with this mat and pillow combo. Both are foam filled with discs that remind me of lotus flowers with plastic pointed petals. The points put pressure on the skin. After the first few minutes, the discomfort evaporates. The first time I used it, I fell asleep and woke up about two hours later refreshed and relaxed. I have back issues, the result of a serious auto accident and this seems to provide relief. Additionally, I had annoying and painful leg cramps that would plague me at night. Since using, I haven't experienced a one. I am a notoriously light sleeper but since using I have enjoyed more continuous sleep than I ever have. The purple color is rich and the mat has a sri yantra imprinted on the back. The carrying case is a convenience. Wear a light robe or t shirt when first using because there is initially a degree of discomfort.Both the mat and the pillow seem well constructed and provide natural, non-pharmaceutical relief. I had no expectations going in and have been pleasantly surprised. If yo are looking for natural ways to relieve pain or just to optimize your body's healing abilities, this combo is worthy of your consideration.

Shockingly Effective. Amazing pain relief. Takes some getting used to, but once you do. . . infinite possibilities. I find it to be a great way to relax before bed.It is not how the directions suggest to use it, but I've also found it to be an effective tool for my minor aches and pains from my workouts. One day my Iliotibial band (side of thigh) was tight and causing me hip and knee pain, so on a whim I tried laying down on my side with my leg on it. It was so painful at first, I could only bear it for 5 minutes. But that was it. No more pain or tightness. Usually it takes me a week or longer to get the ITB to relax. It was totally different than the foam rolling technique I usually use, but it was so much more effective. Shockingly Effective.Everyone should keep one of these handy for minor insomnia, minor aches and pains, and general body balancing first aid!

This really is a strange item to me, but with my back pain due to fibro and RA, and bursitis I had to try it.IT HELPS!My back pain and hip pain has been reduced by 75%, just by laying on this 20 minutes a night, on the floor. I have not gotten any relief in my neck, so I can not speak to any other body parts.I also have a son who works for FedEx, and he says this has helped him a lot as well, to relax and sleep well at night, due to before he had a lot of leg cramps.It is very strange the first time you lay on it, as it sorta hurts, but not really. I do not advise that you move around while laying on it, as that is what hurts. The first time I left my shirt on, and then after a few times, I was able to use it on my bare skin by just wearing a sports bra, or simply lifting my shirt up. I lay it on the floor, and watch tv for around 20 minutes and that helps me to not have my usual leg cramps at night, and throbbing hip pain.This really is fantastic!

Bought this on a whim after having severe back/muscle pain from rotated lumbar vertebrae. I am 5' 9" but found this product just a bit too short. I can't target my shoulders and lower back at the same time. It takes some getting used to and is definitely painful at first, but it works well after 5-10 minutes and can help with short-term relief. I did not think the pillow was useful and since it's so bulky and hard to store with the spikes I discarded it. I would recommend looking for a mat of larger size.
