If someone suggested a good cure for insomnia or backache was to lay on sharp pointy things you’d think they were having a laugh right? Well, maybe not. Used for thousands of years as a meditation device in India (or a really cool trick in Las Vegas) the Bed of Nails has recently been given a modern – and less metallic – update to provide the relief you’ve been looking for.
Gadget site Paramount Zone says on it’s website: “[The Bed of Nails] works by applying non-penetrative acupressure on numerous points over an area of the body. The pressure stimulates blood flow and lymph circulation locally so that endorphins (‘hormones of happiness" or "natural pain killers") are released that are effective in blocking pain and producing a sense of well-being.”
That’s non-penetrative because instead of rustable iron nails, this new version is made of plastic points on a Styrofoam base. Each of the 230 buttons contains 27 ‘nails’, and is apparently a lot more comfortable than you’d expect. It works by stimulating your skin to improve circulation, which will lead to increased energy levels, relaxed muscles and release of endorphins. All this adds up to deep relaxation and can help to improve sleep patterns in insomnia sufferers.
Might be worth a bit of initial discomfort for a good nights sleep!
