  • Publication number: 20110125184
    Abstract: An intraoral acupressure apparatus made from a model conforming to a user's palate, wherein the apparatus is adapted to be removably retained adjacent to the palate in a predetermined position, relative to acupressure points located on the palate of the user. Various means for securing the apparatus adjacent to the user's palate can be used and the apparatus has one or more projections embedded into the apparatus and extending out from the apparatus into the user's palate at one or more of the acupressure points. These projections into the palate of the user create and stimulate the pressure points that influence corresponding specific body functions to be treated.
