Hand Point

Point Location

These points lie along the creases of the hands where the fingers join the palm. These are said to help release endorphins (the body's natural painkillers) into the body.

Acupressure Technique

Women can hold a small comb in the palm of their hand so that the teeth of the comb are touching these points. They can then grip the comb during contractions, applying pressure to the level that feels the most useful.

leg Sole Acupressure Points

For treatment to the diseases first of all find out which part of the palm or sole of the feet is to be pressed for the treatment. Press the point and you will feel pain in that particular point. If you do not have pain in that particular point then you do not have the disease related to that point. If you feel pain then press the point 2 of 3 times a day for about 2 minutes at a time, till the pain is reduced to minimum. In some cases the pain will be reduced in a day or two but in some cases it might take a month or two. The treatment is necessary till you feel pain on that particular point. When you do not have any pain even when the point is pressed, you are cured sometimes the pain goes away in couple of minutes and you will be surprised the disease has been cured.Sometimes during the treatment at the initial time the disease will aggravates but it is a clear signal that the treatment is working properly, So do not stop pressing the points rather centime to press the points till you do not feel any pain. Always remember where ever you feel any pain, press it, just this pressure alone cures the disease. You may not know the name of the disease but you diagnose the disease and you are in a portion to curve the disease just by pressing your soles or palms.

Mechanism (Working) :   According to Acupuncture, Shiatsu or Pointed Pressure Therapy, there are about 900 points all over the body on the meridians shown in figures. Puncturing is done or pressure is applied on these points to cure illness or pain or to create an anaesthetic effect. However, this requires a good deal of study and skill and so, a layman cannot do it.
 However, Acupressure treatment is so simple and easy that any layman-even a child of ten years-can learn and practise it.
The switch board of electric current flowing in our body is located in the palms and soles. In figures, you will see the location of the different switch points. In these figures you will find the names of the organs and endocrine glands to which these switch points are connected.
 Most of the organs and endocrine glands are in the right or the left side of the body and so their corresponding points are on the right or the left palms and soles. However, as the heart and the spleen are on the left side of the body, their corresponding points are only on the left palm and sole. Similarly, since, the liver, gall bladder and appendix are on the right side of the body and so their corresponding switches are only on the right palm and sole.
 In the same way, the points of all the organs like eyes, throat, ears, heart, lungs, stomach etc. which are in front of the body are shown in front in palms and soles. And the points of spinal cord, nerves, optic nerve, allergy etc. are on the back side of our body and so are shown on the back of palms/soles. These divisions prove that this therapy is scientific.
