I posted this on another blog and while the allergies and pain ones are helpful the end of the post "Curing a Hangover" may be most beneficial for people after this Super Bowl Sunday.
Have allergies that you've
tried every kind of medication for? Tried every hangover cure there is
and none seem to work (other than continuing)? Stubborn knee pain that
nothing seems to get rid of. Try the world of accupressure points.
It's easy, you can do it yourself and hey it won't cost you anything.
Allergies:
Step I: Open your left hand in front of you with your palm down.
An antihistamine point is located at center of the webbing between your
thumb and index finger. Place your right thumb on top in the middle of
the webbing with your right index finger underneath the palm and apply pressure
by squeezing into the webbing (Point: LI 4). Apply that pressure toward
the bone of your hand. Take 5-10 long, slow, deep breaths as you keep
firmly pressing into the point. Repeat same protocol for the right hand.
Hold pressure for 1 minute.
Step II: Use index fingers to press between the bone of
on the top of your feet between your big toe and second toe (Point: Lv3).
Firmly rub in the troughs and angle toward the second bone.
Knee
Pain: Who doesn't have this?
Start by sitting comfortably on a rug or mat with your back
against the wall or couch. Extend legs in front of you.
Step I: Use a tennis ball and place it in the middle of
the back of your hurting knee. Keep this ball in position as you complete the
rest of the steps .
Step II: Place the palms of your hands on
both side of your knee cap (patella) and rub both sides for a minute to create
a warming effect (Rub: Lv8, Sp9, K10, B53, and GB34).
Step III: Use
your thumbs and index fingers to press around both sides of your patella,
applying the pressure to the under side of it. Lean your weight forward
to apply for 10 seconds then relax. Rotate your fingers slightly and
reapply pressure (St35). Do this several time for about 2 minutes.
Step IV: Grasp your patella with the palm of your hand
and slowly rotate in one direction 10 times then the opposite 10 times.
(You will get minor rotation (it won't spin and shouldn't) and if
you ever have pain, STOP).
Hangovers:
The incurable self inflicted ailment (but everyone likes to have fun)
Start by just sitting
comfortably.
Step I: Spread your
thumb and index finger apart and apply pressure into the muscles in the web as
you angle the pressure towards the first bone of the hand. Stimulate each
side for one minute. (Point: LI 4) to Left
Step II: Curve your fingers and firmly press into
the thick ropy muscles on the back of your upper neck. Breathe
deeply as you hold for a minute. (Point: B10)
Step III: Place thumbs underneath the base of your
skull in the hollow points on the back of your head. Close your eyes and
tilt your head forward as you continue to apply firm pressure for at least a
minute or until you feel a regular, even pulse on both sides.
Step IV: With one
hand, place your thumb and index finger on the upper ridge of the eye socket
near the bridge of your nose. Simultaneously press up into the
indentations in your eye socket. Then spread the index finger and middle
finger up underneath your cheek bones directly beneath your eyes. Hold
combination for 1 minute with eyes closed as you breathe deeply. (Point: GB20)
Step V: Place
your right thumb in the center of the skull (back) pressing into a large
hallow. Use the third finger of your left hand to press into the indentation
between your eyebrows. Hold these points for a minute with eyes closed.
Breath deeply to relax your mind. (Point: GV16 with GV24.5)
Step VI (this one
is a little out there): Sitting down with shoes off. Reach down to place
your index fingers between your big toe and second toe. Slide your finger
two inches toward your leg. press firmly on an angle toward the bone that
attaches to the second toe. Supposedly an excellent decongestant point
for clearing your head. (Point: Lv3)
