Did you know that you do acupressure to yourself? Your mind
now is creating a question: How come I do acupressure?
When we have a headache or feel some discomfort in our body,
we usually put pressure in a certain place to relieve pain. With the help of
our thumb, we pressed and massaged the part where it hurt. We instantly became
massage therapists to ease the pain. It's so easy right, and it also helps your
liver to become healthy. Why? Because you can stop taking pain relievers from
now on. Anyone who wants to try acupressure but first seek the expert before
having an appointment to be sure that acupressure is suitable and safe for you.
Acupressure is a traditional Chinese medicine or massage
that is attached to the belief in balance, harmony, and life energy. It's
believed that everything in the world has two opposite sides. When we are able
to balance these two sides within our body, we will feel healthy and relaxed.
But if we have an imbalanced lifestyle we easily get sick, and that's the
truth. The goal of acupressure is to revitalize our health and balance the
positive and negative energy in our body. Here is the list of acupressure
benefits and pressure points to guide you, from relief.
Acupressure Cure Headache
Hegu applies pressure and massage in the muscles between your thumb and index finger. Repeat this procedure on the opposite hand. This process also helps the head and all the facial areas such as toothache, migraines, and sore throat. Hegu is used as well as for emergency treatment. It can be pressed if you feel dizzy, have vertigo, or if a seizure occurs and the patient needs to wake up. And since Hegu is also a good help in our face, this becomes a beauty tip to us. Because it helps improve and relieve facial skin problems.
We can also put pressure on the head to the part where we
feel the pain, the most common part is on the temple of the head. We are always
pressing both of them and instantly feel the relief. In addition to that you
can press where the third eye is located, this is above in between the
eyebrows. It produces melatonin which helps relieve migraines and it gives
relaxation. We can also carefully press and massage the back of our head that
is connected to the neck, which is called the Gallbladder 20. This is the best
pressure point for migraine, it can benefit us to reduce stress and anxiety. It
also helps us deal with insomnia or sleep disturbances. Putting a Headache cap is also a remedy for the
incapacitating effects of headaches and migraines. These caps are made to
provide the affected area with focused cold or hot therapy, which can help to
reduce swelling and relieve discomfort.
Acupressure Cure Neck and Back Pain
Massage
and light stretching techniques are combined during the acupressure treatment.
It's a simple help with back or neck problems.
Cervicalgia is pain that is located in the neck, this causes
discomfort to your spine typically close to your head. Neck discomfort is a
common sign of a wide range of illnesses and accidents. We need to get
treatment for neck discomfort, causing pain to our neck that might affect our
everyday lives. In this way acupressure works, for neck pain the procedure is
the same with headaches you can use Hegu and also press the back of the head
that connects to the neck.
Back pain, we always hear from anyone that they have back
pain. It's a common pain but this is also the reason why we feel tired. Muscle
strain, bad posture, and even stress are common causes of back discomfort. We
need help from an acupressure expert or from a reflexologist, our hands are not
that long and we can see our back. In order to have an effective and relaxing
massage we need their helping hands. We have peace and just lying there and we
all know that they know how to handle and cure our back pain.
Foot Acupressure
The feet are the most powerful portion of our bodies because
our feet carry the weight of our entire body. But you know aside from carrying
our body it is just like the hand and feet are connected to a specific body
organ function. That's why you can find an Acupressure Foot Massager or massage
slipper, it has a designated color that tells what organ is having issues. At
the same time, it puts pressure and helps to circulate the blood to our body.
An example is the picture on the Acupressure Cure Headache foot figure. There
are also massage tools like roller, spiky rubber balls, or simple tennis balls.
Same as massage slippers, these tools allow us to put more pressure on our
feet. And we can use it if we have a problem in our hand or to the part that is
hard to reach.
As well-being we grow with responsibility, day by day we
feel tired and exhausted. You should grab the opportunity to pamper yourself.
It's okay to take a little time out from our busy and overloaded work life. We
need to refresh, relax, and have a balanced lifestyle. Let's get out and try my
suggestion to have acupressure or any type of massage, to release all the
negative energy and reduce the stress level in our body. Make time for yourself,
improve, and heal inside and out. Keep in mind that you only live once.
