5 Upcoming Health Events for February in Greenville, South Carolina

I just moved to Greenville, South Carolina a couple months ago and I’ve been learning about the health and wellness scene in the city. There is definitely a health conscious vibe here and I’ve found several events in the next couple months that cater to wellness minded folks. I wanted to share these options for locals and with spring right around the corner in Greenville I’m sure there will be even more events once the weather warms up! There are also some great online options for folks not living here that I found really intriguing!

Acupuncture Mats: Real or Sus?

Today, we'll be diving into the topic of acupuncture mats – those intriguing spiky surfaces that claim to offer a myriad of health benefits.

Acupuncture mats, also known as bed of nails or acupressure mats, have gained popularity in recent years. They typically consist of a foam mat covered with plastic spikes, designed to stimulate acupressure points across the body. The idea is that by lying on these mats, you can enjoy the benefits of acupuncture just without the needles. Instead, they employ acupressure – the application of pressure to specific points on the body. The mat's surface is covered with plastic spikes or nodes that target these acupressure points, stimulating circulation and promoting a sense of relaxation.

So, the big question on everyone's mind and the whole reason for this blog post– do acupuncture mats actually work?
