What if there was a way to cure your health problems without having to visit a doctor? No more prescription drugs for all your ailments that can potentially compromise your immune system. It is true! There are organic ways that involve reactivating specific points in your body to secrete pain relieving endorphins. In other words, it is the ancient medicinal tradition of Acupressure.
The concept of Acupressure finds its origins in Chinese traditional medicine. It involves applying pressure to specific points in your body that can help in healing . It also finds reference in Japanese alternative medicine and continues to be practiced even today.
So, if you are suffering from recurrent bouts of stomach ache, headache, insomnia, or even fear and depression, try applying pressure on certain points on your right hand for relief.
Thumb: Applying pressure on your thumb can relieve you of abdominal pain, depression, and anxiety.
Index Finger: In case you suffer from bladder or kidney-related problems, you should focus on applying pressure on your index finger. It will also help ease symptoms of fatigue, digestive distress, and back pains.
Middle Finger: To maintain your liver, nerves, and cardiovascular and menstrual health, hold your middle finger and apply pressure on it for some time before letting it go.
Ring Finger: Breathing trouble, lungs, and digestion can be taken care of by the application of pressure on a point on your ring finger.
Little Finger: Your little finger corresponds to the health of your heart, throat, bone, as well as your mental health. So, if you are prone to suffering from depression, panic attacks, and anxiety, apply pressure on your little finger.
Palm: There is a pressure point snuggled between your thumb and index finger called the ‘hand valley point’. When you apply pressure on this point, it contributes to reducing excess body heat, stress from different parts fo the body, and digestive discomfort like constipation. One last pressure point on your hand is situated just below your thumb. This point contributes to relieving breathing trouble and reducing cough.
