disease
 |
Working on these points can help you get better
quicker. You do not have to use all of these
points. Using just one or two of them whenever
you have a free hand can be effective.
Points (A) -- Facial Beauty
Location: At the bottom of the cheekbone, directly
below the pupil. Benefits: Relieves toothaches,
head congestion, and sinus pain.
Points (B) -- Jaw Chariot
Location: Between the upper and lower jaws,
on the muscle in front of the earlobe that bulges
when the back teeth are slightly clenched. Benefits:
Relieves jaw pain and spasm, TMJ problems, lockjaw,
sore throats, dental neuralgia, and toothaches.
Points (C) -- Shoulder Meeting Point
Location: On the outer surface of the upper
arm, one thumb width in back of the base of
the upper arm muscle (the deltoid) and two finger
widths higher up toward the shoulder. Benefits:
Relieves toothaches, elbow pain, shoulder pain,
and painful arm extension.
Points (D) -- Joining the Valley
Caution: This point is
forbidden for pregnant women because its stimulation
can cause premature contractions in the uterus.
Location: In the webbing between the thumb and
index finger at the highest spot of the muscle
when the thumb and index finger are brought
close together. Benefits: Relieves headaches
and toothaches; also traditionally used as a
general pain reliever, decongestant, and anti-inflammatory
point. |
