Acupressure points for Anxiety You Can Administer Yourself in Saint Jeannet

Acupressure is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body to promote healing and wellbeing.

Here are five acupressure points for anxiety that you can administer yourself:

1. Pericardium 6 (P6): This point is located on the inside of the wrist, about three finger widths up from the base of the wrist. Applying pressure to this point can help to reduce anxiety, nausea, and palpitations.

2. Heart 7 (H7): This point is located on the inside of the wrist, at the crease where the wrist meets the hand. Applying pressure to this point can help to reduce anxiety, insomnia, and palpitations.

3. Governing Vessel 24.5 (GV24.5): This point is located in the middle of the forehead, between the eyebrows. Applying pressure to this point can help to reduce anxiety, stress, and headaches.

4. Conception Vessel 17 (CV17): This point is located in the center of the chest, about three finger widths up from the bottom of the breastbone. Applying pressure to this point can help to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.

5. Large Intestine 4 (LI4): This point is located on the back of the hand, between the thumb and index finger. Applying pressure to this point can help to reduce anxiety, stress, and tension in the body.

To apply acupressure to these points, use your fingertips or thumb to apply firm pressure in a circular or up-and-down motion for several seconds or until you feel a sensation of relief. You can repeat this process as needed throughout the day. Acupressure should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment, and if you have any underlying health conditions or concerns, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before trying acupressure.
