What are nail mats?
Nail mats, often also acupressure mats are derived from the traditional nail beds of Indian fakirs. These yogis earned their living by demonstrating their control over body and mind. Fortunately, modern nail mats are much more comfortable than the nail beds the fakirs used to lie on. The purpose of the modern nail mat is therefore no longer to perform, but rather to relax and gain energy. Instead of nails, a nail mat studs with spikes. These nail mats For example, they have 210 studs, each with 42 sharp ends called spikes. This means the mat can activate 8,800 points. This gives your body a pressure point massage when you lie or stand on it. That's why spike mats are also called acupressure mats.
Pressure points and meridians
According to ancient Chinese medicine, energy pathways—meridians—run throughout the body. A pressure point regulates the energy in a specific meridian. By stimulating pressure points, for example, by lying on a nail mat, the energy in your meridians is activated and balanced throughout your body. Lying on a nail mat also stimulates blood circulation, allowing your body to absorb more oxygen. This benefits every cell in your body.
Do nail mats hurt?
Lying on a nail mat definitely hurts a little, especially at first. This mild pain gradually turns into a tingling sensation as you use it. This stimulation triggers your body to produce the happiness hormones oxytocin and endorphins: a warm feeling courses through your body, which can make you feel slightly euphoric.
What are nail mats good for?
The mats relieve pain and stimulate your body's self-healing capacity. The subtle energy flows in your body are brought into balance. Your body takes care of this all on its own. A nail mat works wonders, especially for neck and back pain. And who doesn't suffer from neck and shoulder pain these days, in these times of predominantly sedentary work?

How do I use a nail mat?
First, consider what you want to use the mat for. If you want to sleep better, use the mat in the evening. If you want more energy and feel fitter, use the nail mat in the morning. Just see what time works best for you. Feel free to experiment. Initially, stick to sessions of about 20 to 30 minutes. It's best to keep your clothes on at first. As you get more used to using the mats, you can touch your nail mat with your bare skin.
Poses on nail mats
Gently lie on your back on the mat and place a pillow under your neck. This will stimulate the many nerve endings in your spine. A nail mat pillow on your neck will provide extra stimulation.

Nail mats also stimulate the pressure points in your hands. Place the mat on your lap and rest your hands on top of it.
