Acupressure Points for Relieving Constipation.
|
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) -- Crooked Pond
Location: At the outer end of the elbow crease.
Benefits: Relieves fever, constipation, and
indigestion. This is a powerful trigger point
for the colon.
Points (B) -- Joining the Valley
Caution: This point is forbidden for pregnant
women, because its stimulation can cause premature
contractions in the uterus. Location: At the
highest spot of the muscle on the back of the
hand that protrudes when the thumb and index
finger are brought close together. Benefits:
Relieves constipation, headaches, toothaches,
shoulder pain, arthritis, and labor pain.
Points (C) -- Three Mile Point
Location: Four finger widths below the kneecap,
one finger width to the outside of the shinbone.
If you are on the correct spot, a muscle should
flex as you move your foot up and down. Benefits:
Strengthens the whole body, aids digestion,
and relieves stomach and intestinal disorders.
Points (D) -- Sea of Energy
Location: Three finger widths directly below
the belly button. Benefits: Relieves pain in
the abdominal muscles, constipation, colitis,
and gas. |
