Acupressure and Reflexology

• Reflexology is the use of therapeutic pressure massage in specific areas of our hands and feet to facilitate functional flow of energy and pain relief.
• Acupressure.is sometimes confused with acupuncture.
• Acupressure uses fingers providing moderate pressure while acupuncture uses needles.

Here we present you combined approaches of these two practices that you can use:

Cold or Sore Throat

Fatigue

Massage the whole hand with a gentle pressure. After the massage, press directly the point on your middle finger just below and on the side of your nail on the side closest toward the index finger.

Menstrual Cramps or Abdominal Pain

1. Start by massaging your hands (massage can help boost the energy and sensitivity of your hands).

2. Then, using your opposite thumb and fingers press directly on the point on your index finger just below and on the side of your nail on the side closest to the thumb.

3. You also need to press a point on your small finger just away from the nail on the cuticle line toward the outside.

4. Keep the pressure – hold it for 1-5 minutes. Then start slowly massaging in small clockwise circles up to five times.

5. Repeat this process 1-5 times as needed. You can repeat this each day to prevent abdominal pain!

Note: One of the best tips from massage therapists and body workers is staying hydrated. It is very important because adequate hydration offers quality circulation and helps in toxins removal from the bloodstream.

Important: While pregnant, you need to avoid deep pressure to the web of the hand. This practice should also be avoided, if you are not in labor and supervised by a professional MT because there are areas that can support stimulating uterine contractions.
