Generalized Pain at the back of the head | Because the thumb is stronger than the index finger we recommend using the thumb to press on the point. Women with long finger nails may prefer to use the eraser end of a pencil or the rounded end of a marker pen. | |||
Press hard enough to feel an achy sensation. If you do not feel an achy sensation press around the area and try to locate the most sensitive point. | ||||
Press on each of these points until you feel a deep achy sensation. Then take 3 or 4 deep, SLOW, breaths while continuing to press. Then go to the point on opposite foot or hand and repeat the same process. Work back and forth, up and down until you have pressed each point. Inhale & exhale! |
|
Wrapping your fingers around the hand or foot allows you to
gradually press harder and harder with the thumb until your feel a
deep achy sensation. Start by pressing SI 3 on your right hand,
then go to KD 2 your left foot, then right foot, left hand, and end with repeating
where you started on your right hand. Don't forget to breath at least 3 times with
each point. |

Hey! Is this supposed to work? |
No relief? Try these suggestions: 1. Check to be certain that you started by selecting the image that best matches the location of pain on your body. If you can find an image that is a better match try pressing those points. If your pain moves to a new location after you press the first set of points go back to the previous page, select the image that best matches the new pain location, and try using the new points. 2. Check the general area around the point
location by gently pressing to find the most sensitive spot.
Pressing on the most sensitive spot in the area will usually
give you the best results. 4. Try points in the same area but, on the opposite hand, foot, leg, or arm. 5. Select another pain location image that is located close to the pain location on your body. Try using these related point selections to see if you get better results6. Call your local acupuncturist and make an appointment. An individualized diagnosis may be necessary to resolve your condition. |
