Acupressure for fall and winter

Home » Acupuncture » Acupressure for fall and winter

The body is covered with acupressure (acupuncture) points. If you aren’t putting a needle in a point it becomes an acupressure point. You can use the tip of your finger, your nail, a knuckle, the finger pad, your fist. Depending on the site and what you are trying to accomplish there are many ways to stimulate a point.

These points can be very helpful. A lot of them on are the Lung and Large Intestine channels and are useful at this time of colds and flus.
