The mystical bed of nails originated over 1,000 years ago and was used by gurus in the practice of meditation and healing.
Designed to make pressure adjustment simple and easy, the Bed of Nails is similar to acupuncture; the pressure of the rounded nails against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which makes you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!).
Everybody reacts differently to Bed of Nails, and the effects may even vary from time to time; you may feel sleepy, alert, relaxed, happy and a clearer mind. Bed of Nails may also help the body rid itself of toxins, so it is important to drink water after using the Bed of Nails.
This self treatment tool helps the body rid itself of toxins by stimulating energy, release oxytocin and endorphins to relieve pain and induce a state of wellbeing as well as triggers the body’s innate way of healing itself. Use your Bed of Nails mat when needed, preferably 10-20 minutes daily, or as long as you desire. If Bed of Nails is used regularly for a long enough period of time it may:
・Improve circulation
