5 Pressure Points To Get Relief From Body Pain

Pressure point therapy or better known as acupuncture therapy is a healing technique that can cure problems, ranging from sinus to back pain and menstrual cramps. Pressing certain spots on your body helps restore and reflow the trapped energy within your body thus soothing the related pain. The sharper the pain, the higher the pressure. However, always start slow and increase it depending on your comfort levels.

# Menstrual Cramps

To get relief from those painful cramps, press between the midline of your sacrum, the triangular bone in the lower back between the two hip bones connecting your pelvis. basically the right spot between your lumbar spine and the tailbone.

# Insomnia

Insomnia can be tiring so press down on the ‘yintang’ spot right between your eyebrows for relief. It helps you focus your energy to the invisible but assumed third eye on the forehead and calms you down to sleep.

# Hangover

The best way to cure hangovers is to not have them in the first place but since we’re human after all, pressing hard on the webbed area between your thumb and index finger will help relieve headaches from hangovers.

# Lower Back Pain

A good way to soothe lower back pain is to press down in the middle on the back of your knee’s crease. Since your nerves are connected, the pressure helps relieve tension on your back.

# Fatigue

Overtiredness can start affecting your way of life with the pains of fatigue and other ailments. Press on different spots to relieve pent-up stress. massage at the back of your neck near the skull base. Pressing between your thumb and index finger also helps you relax. Another good point is also the middle of your foot.
