The wellness mat is regarded with several different names such as Acupressure mat, Swedish Acupressure mat, Spike mat, Pressure Relief Mat, Fakir mat, and Shakti mat. When an individual lies on this mat, the spikes embedded in the mat submissively prick the body, thereby activating the release of two hormones called endorphins and oxytocin. Endorphin acts as a natural painkiller and oxytocin releases hormones that relieve stress and inhibit depression, promoting a 'feel good' factor.
