Acupressure is a science that deals with the human body and the flow of natural energy within the body. This Web site notes that it is a science, and there is nothing supernatural or magical about it. This medical science is practiced with the use of only one human tool: the thumb. Pressure is applied on different 'pressure points' on the body, stimulating the corresponding glands of the body.
