Dakini Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set with Mini Pad – Acupuncture Mat Full Body Pain Relief

It actually works
I was definitely skeptical at first because for a product to state its a natural pain reliever, improves sleep, promotes meditation etc all while simply being a mat with spikes seemed to good to be true. I went for it. I laid on a sof surface (bed) without any clothing and at first it’s uncomfortable which is to be expected until you acclimate to the sensation. Then the effects are almost immediate. From the burning sensation (which feels oddly amazing) to the numbing effect, you do go into a relaxed state. I actually drifted off for a few. When I tell you this is relaxing I mean it! So glad I made the purchase. This will be my new night time routine. I also want to point out that the quality is good. After usage you can expect more cheaper brands to not be as sharp aka the benefits will not be as impact full but this brand is pretty sturdy and meant to last.

Affordable alternative for Shakti mat, but not the same exact quality. You get what you pay for!
I bought 2 of these when they were on sale, because getting 2 sets (w/ pillow, mat, and roll-up combo mat bag) for the price of ONE Shakti pillow (by itself) sounded like a great deal to me. 4 out of 5 stars because the quality is like a step or two below a Shakti pillow/mat, which is still pretty good.I was gifted a Shakti pillow a year or so ago and it genuinely changed things for me. I’m someone who has naturally tense shoulders, like that’s kind of their default setting for [some reasons] and my neck is often tense because of that. The Shakti pillow helped in more ways than one! I actually have fallen asleep & had great naps on that thing! Sadly, I lost it in my last move. So, I was in the market for a replacement.My partner has had spinal injuries in the past and was in pain management for a long time he also gets frequent headaches. He’d never tried acupressure before and I was excited to introduce him. Let’s be honest, there probably isn’t an Amazon brand that is 100% on par with Shakti. I definitely searched around, checking all the reviews for many many options. This was the best deal in my opinion, between what you get for the price and the quality of reviews. I also looked closely at the “pins” because all are not made the same. There’s different lengths, spacing, and hardness between sellers… the Shakti brand actually offers different lengths or levels of pressure depending on what you need… so I didn’t want a cheap knock-off. This is one of those things that’s worth paying for it to be well-made.I think this is a great option for someone just “dipping their feet” into accupressure. Maybe not-as-great for someone who is used to it & looking for a more intense experience. We have incorporated them into our morning stretch routine now, and will occasionally use the pillows before bed to ease tension in the neck which sets us up for a better night’s sleep. We’ve used them on the bed & on the floor (on a yoga mat). They definitely deform more and have more “give” when on the bed (for obvious reasons). On the floor, they still deform quite a bit under your body weight, but it’s still a good level of acupressure for beginners I’d say. Using the body mat & neck pillow at the same time can be intense, but once you’re adjusted to it, after about 7 minutes of breath work you will feel a warm, relaxing sensation spread throughout your body as it stimulates the body’s natural pain & inflammatory relief. We both find our backs feeling much better than usual after laying on them & doing some full body stretching. It may depend on the kind of headache one has, but I have had times where I had a headache and just taken 10-20 min to lay on the acupressure pillow, flat on the bed, and it did provide me relief! Again, that’s not gonna be universally true for all people or all headaches, but if it feels like it’s coming from tension or a crick in your neck, it’s definitely worth a try.Ultimately, when I can afford to get a new Shakti pillow I will, because it was firmer (didn’t deform as much under body weight) and the quality of pain & tension relief was even better. But I am happy with these as a more affordable, introductory kind of thing! Thank you!

Great for pain relief
I gifted this to my boyfriend, and he’s loved using it! His job is hard on his body and this has helped with his bad headaches/migraines that he gets. His back and neck have not been has tight as of late. I feel like it was worth the money, it is easy to use and put away, and the color is super cute. Would recommend!

Poor packaging/nice product
Not sure whose idea it was to ship the item in a clear bag? Is this Amazon or the company? I would like to thank whoever made the choice to ship the item that way so it was completely visible to the family member who was going to receive it for Christmas.The actual item is good quality for the price and has a nice look and to it.

Esta muy completo y bonito viene tal cual la foto pero el material no se ve nada extraordinario y se me hace más costoso que varios de su competencia entonces sugiero comprar uno más económico al fin no cambia el material, solo el tapete extra y que se puede doblar para transportarlo pero los picos y el material es cualquiera y el precio es elevado.

Fonctionne très bien et soulage les maux de dos.
