Acupressure has been part of Chinese holistic medicine for
centuries. This Chinese method uses equal principles as acupuncture and the
result is the same too – it promotes relaxation, wellness and treats diseases.
It’s important to know that all acupuncture points on your
body are linked to certain organs and pressing these can help you soothe
stomachaches, heartburn, and indigestion. Read on and find out how to help your
body self-heal by using acupuncture.
POINT A — CENTER OF POWER
If you are dealing with a chronic or life-threatening
disease, such as heart problems, cancer or high blood pressure, do not hold
this point deeply. Also, do not hold this point for a longer period than two
minutes and use it on an empty stomach.
This point is placed in the middle of the body, half way
between the base of the breast bone and the navel. Holding this point relieves
stomach pains, constipation, abdominal spasms, indigestion, heartburn,
emotional stress, including worry and frustration that can lead to digestive
problems.
POINT B — SEA OF ENERGY
This point is placed two finger widths below the navel.
Massaging this point helps in relieving pain in the abdomen and the lower back,
constipation, gas, and digestive problems. You can press this point with your
fingertips. If the pressure of fingertip is too much, you can just press with
your palm. Press this point for one minute and focus on deep breathing.
POINTS C — THREE MILE POINT
This point is four finger widths below the kneecap, one
finger width to the outside of the shinbone. If a muscle flexes as you move
your foot up and down, then you are at the right place. Using this point will
help you with stomachaches, poor digestion, stomach disorders, and fatigue.
POINTS D AND POINTS E — SEA OF VITALITY
If you have disintegrating discs or fractured or broken
bones, do not press. Also, if you have a weak back, only light touching for a
few minutes is enough and can be very healing.
Point E is located in the lower back two fingers widths from
the spine at waist level. Point D is located four fingers width from the spine
at waist level. Massaging these points helps in relieving indigestion,
abdominal pain, and stomachaches.
POINTS F — GRANDFATHER GRANDSON
This point is located on the arch, one thumb width from the
ball of the foot toward the heel. The press on this point relieves abdominal
cramps, stomachaches, indigestion, and diarrhea. Moreover, it is good for
balancing a person who is prone to hypochondria or frequently feels anxious.
POINTS G — INNER GATE
This point is placed in the middle of the inner wrist,
two-and-one-half finger width below the wrist joint. Pressing this point
relieves stomachaches, indigestion, nausea, and anxiety. Press this point for
one minute and breathe deeply. Use a hooked thumb for a firm pressure.
Note: After the massage, drink lots of water to remove the toxic
substances in out body.
