Top of head
Pain at the Top of the Head		 LI 4 is often recommended for headaches and it is a powerful point if pressure is applied correctly. Gently press the muscle just under the bone up against the bone until you feel an achy sensation. Presto recommends pressing the points on both hands to treat generalized headaches. LI 4 is easy to reach and can be used by itself or in combination with KD 1 to treat pain at the top of the head.

Pain at the Top of the Head
Pointing to LI 4		 Locating KD-1 with the index finger
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. 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 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! Hand wraps around hand to grip LI 4
Grip LI4		 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 LI 4 on your right hand, then go to KD 1 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.

You need to press deep and hard to feel an ache at KD 1. This may be easier if press  KD 1 with the index finger knuckle of your strongest hand.  You can also press using both thumbs with one thumb on top of the other.		 Pressing KD-1 with the thumb

Wow! That feels Better!		 Did you feel some relief?  If your answer is yes you may feel more improvements if you repeat this treatment after a few minutes.  If there is still any remaining pain or if the pain returns you may repeat the treatment as often as you wish.  If the pain moves to a new area find the proper treatment points for the new location and use the new points to eliminate the pain.

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.
3. Follow the proper techniques for pressing the points. Press hard enough to feel a connection and then breathe in and out slowly three times while pressing for at least 15 to 30 seconds.  If you do not get any results you should try pressing hard enough that it is quite intense but, please don’t injure yourself.  Breathe into the pain and slowly move the area of the body that you are trying to treat. Take a two minute break and try again.

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 results
6. Call your local acupuncturist and make an appointment.  An individualized diagnosis may be necessary to resolve your condition.
