Editor's Notes

  1. Acupressure can provide relief from headaches, backaches, colds, and many other aches, pains and minor symptoms
  2. Acupressure has been used for thousands of years and is a safe, drug-free technique for relief, but is not a cure for any disease or symptom, and should be used with caution in some situations
  3. The acupressure point we are learning about here is one of the most potent and easy to find, and is good for most problems from the chest up
  4. The point is just above the end of this crease, in the middle of the muscular pad that pops up when you make a fist
  5. Move the tip of your thumb around as you press, until you feel the strongest sensation
  6. The sensation may be a mild tingling or strong like a mild jolt of electricity. That’s how you know it’s working!
  7. Sometimes, the same point on one side makes it feel worse, and the other makes it feel better
  8. To get the specifics of these other points, please visit pointfinder.org and browse to “Headache, General”
  9. PointFinder.org is a Web site developed for both mobile and desktop devices that can help you find acupressure points you can use to quickly relieve minor aches, pains and other symptoms
  10. Let us know what you think
