Acupressure points for self-healing

Acupressure for headaches

Before resorting to medication to relieve the headache, try massaging your fingertips or the area between your thumb and forefinger for a few minutes. The correct point is exactly at the angle on the web between the thumb and the index finger and you should feel slight pain when pressing.

Neck and back pain

If you feel uncomfortable with back or neck pain and cannot stand up to stretch a little and stretch your legs, then start massaging at the tip of your thumb and moving up to your wrist. This is where the acupressure points that correspond to the spine are located. Another point is on the back of the hand, exactly between the middle finger and index finger in the direction of the wrist, directly behind both finger joints.
