They’re both different, even though along the same lines. It’s almost like acupressure is a gentler form. It’s more like massage. It triggers similar points, meridians, and Qi.

In acupuncture school, we were told that after age 8, it's very challenging to improve vision. But my father, Dr. Philip Newman, a master healer, improved his vision with eye exercises.
