5 Pressure Points To Relieve Body Discomforts
7 CommentsAcupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique that involves placing physical pressure by hand, elbow on different acupuncture points on the surface of the body to relieve symptoms. Here are 5 pressure points that you and I can work on at any time and anywhere. Just use the thumbs, fingers, palms, the side of the hand, or knuckles to apply steady, stationary pressure. To relax an area or relieve pain, apply pressure gradually and hold without any movement for several minutes at a time.

Great article for home self care!
Point B above “Heavenly Rejuvenation” should never be confused with another point to which it is closely located next to — the gall bladder meridian number 21 (GB21) point. GB21 is contraindicated (can cause problems) in pregnancy…so please use caution with any acupressure technique.
(Gibran) Wow Gibran, you know your pressure points well.
