Key Acupressure Points
Discover how simple hand pressure on specific points can help relax your body and support overall well-being. This easy technique can be done anywhere and requires no tools.
Materials or Tools Needed:
Your hands and fingers
Optional: a small massage oil or lotion
Optional alternative: a rounded, smooth object like the back of a pen (not sharp)
Step-by-Step Method:
Sit comfortably and take a deep breath to relax your muscles.
Locate the chosen acupressure point gently with your finger.
Apply steady, gentle pressure—not painful—for 20–30 seconds.
Release slowly and repeat 2–3 times on each side of the body.
Move to another point if needed, maintaining slow breathing.
Additional Tips:
Apply pressure gradually; it should feel relieving, not uncomfortable.
Use both hands to alternate pressure and avoid fatigue.
Acupressure works well before sleep or during study breaks to reduce tension.
Stay hydrated afterward to help your body relax more effectively.
