Hello All, I would like to share my self care bible with you. Acupressure is one of the easiest and most flexible treatments for common ailments. You can stimulate points anywhere, driving in your car, sitting at your desk, talking on the phone, working points on your lunch break, or maybe when the kids are taking a nap. The bottom line is acupressure can easily be incorporated into our lives.
Pain is increased by fatigue, anxiety, worry and life stress.
Practiced on a daily basis, acupressure can aid in building the immune system and increasing a sense of relaxation. Acupressure points aid in pain relief by releasing the neurochemical "endorphins".
Endorphins are the natural pain killers, produced by the body. The only cost to you is stimulating the points.
The nerveous system is retrainable, so when you take the time to use points on a daily basis, the brain will relearn that new pattern. If repeated on a regular basis, the body will learn to relax in a shorter amount of time.
Using the points everyday will also affect the people around you. Can you imagine the people around you happier, our lives rejuvenated instead of bogged down with pain, healthy appetites, and lower stress levels? I like smiling, having energy and feeling positive. How about you?
I can't think of an easier, cost effective way to reduce pain and lower our stress levels. My favorite book for acupressure is Acupressures Potent Points by Michael Reed Gach. Great beginner book for getting started. It is now bound by duct tape and loose pages.
We will address headache points today, but the points also address other ailments.
B2 - Drilling Bamboo, where the bridge of the nose meets the eyebrows. Feel for indentations.
Also good for Relieves eye pain, hay fever, eye fatigue, and sinus pain.

LI 4 in the web between the thumb and index finger, closest to the base of the thumb.
Relieves frontal headaches, toothache, shoulder pain, and labor pain. DONOT USE ON PREGNANT WOMAN. Can cause labor pain.
So there you have it. A few points to help with headaches, migraines, shoulder tension and eye strain.
Remember to Drink your water! Hydrate.
Enjoy & Relax!
