Acupressure Points: A Guide to Natural Healing & Relief

Acupressure uses certain points on the body to induce healing. These points can be on the hands, feet and ears.

History

• The idea of acupressure stems from the natural need to touch or rub and injury. The Chinese found different pressure points linked to different organs in the body.

Headaches

• Heal headaches by pressing the fleshy part between your thumb and index finger.

Nausea

• Combat nausea by pressing the thumb into the hollow area 2 inches below the wrist.

Cramps

• Relieve cramps and bloating in the stomach by pressing on the tendon at the back of the leg about 2 inches above the ankle.

Features
