General
Acupressure Points to Stay Fit
With
the research based on the available literature, we could fairly establish
that by checking and activating the following eight points daily, one can
stay healthy.
These eight points are:
1.
LI-4 Situated in the web of the thumb and index finger.
(Fig. 19.)You can get this point at the centre of the mount which forms
when you press your thumb close to index finger.
2.
TW-5 Situated at four fingers from the wrist crease.( Fig. 19) |
3. P-6
Situated at three fingers from the wrist joint at the centre. (Fig. 20) |
4.
St-36 Situated at four fingers from the knee joint at the centre. (Fig.
21) |
5.
Liv-3 Situated just at the end of the cavity between the thumb and the
second toe approximately one and half inch from the web. (Fig. 22) |
6.
K-3 Situated just one finger from the protruding ankle bone towards the
heel. (Fig. 23)
7.
Sp-6 Situated three fingers from the protruding ankle bone towards
the calf muscles.( Fig. 23) |
8.
GV-20 Situated at the crossing point of the line drawn from the centre
of the ears and the mid-line of the skull. (Fig. 23a) |
