For reals!
Doesn’t that look healing?
From the yogamint website:
“The Indian Bed of Nails, used by India’s Yogis for centuries, is thought to be a precursor to acupressure. Until recently, health benefits of this torturous-looking device were largely unknown to other cultures. Instead, the device was often used as a circus-trick or for a display of machismo as onlookers gawked, astonished as a man lay on the nails, tough (as nails!) and unperturbed by what was perceived as terrible pain.”
Some people even DO yoga on a mat of nails especially designed for this purpose! READ HERE
“Then, as sometimes happens, old met new. Re-engineered for today’s audience, ancient principles were combined with modern technology and the Acupressure mat was born. Circular disks with sharp points directly contact bare skin for self-administered acupressure. The mat is said to help many health conditions, from insomnia to back pain, stress to weight loss. Rave reviews of the product’s ability to lessen pain, physical and emotional, abound on the internet.”
