WEEKEND LEARNING
Powerful Pressure Points For Healing

The practice of using pressure points falls under the disciplines of acupressure and reflexology, which study how one part of the human body relates to another. It is thought that the hands contain many of the most powerful pressure sites in the body.

Reflexologists claim that by giving the hands the right amount of pressure, they can revitalize and repair other body parts, including the internal organs in cases of illness or fatigue. Reflexology has been used by some Eastern cultures for thousands of years.

Which pressure points are on the hand?

In the hand, there are eight vital pressure points. Here's how to locate them, what they do, and how to use them to your advantage:

Pressure Points:

The heart 7 pressure point can be found in the crease of your wrist. It lies in line with the space between your ring and pinkie finger.

There’s a bone directly in line next to this pressure point. Reflexologists claim that applying gentle pressure to this spot may protect against anxiety, insomnia, heart palpitations, and depression.

The small intestine 3 pressure point is located at the outside part of your hand, right on the edge. The point lies in the depression of your hand just below your pinkie finger.

Putting firm pressure on this point is thought to relieve neck pain, earaches, and headaches that occur at the back of your head.

You can find your lung meridian pressure point by looking at the edge of your hand. It runs from the tip of your thumb down along the side of your hand, ending just beneath the crease of your wrist.

Run your finger along this line. If you find a sore spot along this line, reflexologists say you should gently massage it until it feels better. This may help relieve any cold symptoms, such as chills, sneezing, runny nose, and sore throat.

The inner gate point can be found in a special spot on the crease of your wrist. Hold out your hands as if you’re receiving a gift, with your wrists together. Take one hand and feel about 3 centimeters out from where your wrists were touching in the middle.

Reflexologists recommend you massage this point firmly with your thumb. This is believed to improve your digestion and relieve any nausea or stomach pain.

The outer gate point can be found between two tendons on the backside of the arm. Place three fingers from your other hand above your wrist. Use those fingers to apply firm pressure to this part of your hand to potentially give your immune system a quick boost.

Reflexologists also believe applying pressure to this part of the hand could give you a rush of energy.
