Editor's Notes
Acupressure can provide relief from headaches, backaches, colds, and many other aches, pains and minor symptoms
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
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
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
Move the tip of your thumb around as you press, until you feel the strongest sensation
The sensation may be a mild tingling or strong like a mild jolt of electricity. That’s how you know it’s working!
Sometimes, the same point on one side makes it feel worse, and the other makes it feel better
To get the specifics of these other points, please visit pointfinder.org and browse to “Headache, General”
