Ancient Acupressure

Acupressure is one of the oldest self-practiced forms of therapy in the world.  This ancient system utilizes the same basic knowledge and meridians of traditional Chinese medicine by manipulating points on the body to release stagnant Qi.

Stomach 36 is a good point for maintaining health by strengthening the entire body and giving special attention to the immune and digestive systems.

Try it for yourself....

1. Locate the pressure point

2. Feel for the tender point on your skin

3. Use the entire pad  of your thumb to apply direct pressure

4. Use slow, steady movements

5. If the problem is acute then massage 2 to 3 times a day and if it's chronic treat it once a day for a longer period of time
