Acupressure mats

I'd be willing to try any crazy idea if it had a chance of controlling pain. If there was documented evidence that spreading peanut butter in your hair controlled pain, I'd be searching my pantry for the Skippy! :lol:

On that note, does anyone know anything about acupressure mats? Supposedly, (according to Dr. Oz and others) they help the body release endorphins. 

I'd be willing to try it, but I'd rather not spend that 20 bucks on one if it's just another gimmick.

Dave, I think accupressure works on a similar theory as accupuncture. Some people have reported improvements with accupuncture but I did not find it very helpful. Seems like a mat could be helpful for someone with a tense pelvic floor who just needed help with relaxation but if you have a nerve entrapment maybe not so much?

Hey Dave, thanks for the skippy chuckle.

I did read an article somewhere that said the peanut butter only works if you add honey to it and sprinkle feathers on top!! Please post photo if you decide to try it? :lol: What's that? Of course you can trust me. :P

Should that not be 'I fear that fluff works too' :D as I now have a distinctly disturbing mental image and have totally lost my appetite :)
