How does nail therapy work?

The nail therapy method is based on the impact of metal nails placed at an equal distance from each other on certain areas of the body. This impact exerts pressure on the skin, activating nerve endings, improving blood circulation, and stimulating the body's energy channels.

Nail therapy is based on several principles:
Reflexology. Stimulation of biologically active points on the body with the help of pressure helps to improve the functioning of internal organs and the nervous system.
Tension reduction. The process of nail therapy helps to relax muscles and reduce stress.
Awareness and attention. This method requires full concentration, which contributes to emotional harmony and improvement of the psycho-emotional state.
