Acupressure is not recommended:
If you are more than 3 months pregnant
If you have a heart condition
Just before heavy exercise
If the skin over the point is not smooth and healthy

Hold for 15 to 30 seconds,
while taking
several deep,
relaxing breaths
There may be a twinge or sharp sensation
This is normal
If there’s no improvement, try the next point on the list
Repeat until you find an acupressure point that helps
Stop when you find a point that makes you feel better
Relief should be immediate
The symptom may return after a while
Periodically repeat self-treatment using the point or points that helped, until the symptom goes away
It can take several repetitions to get rid of the symptom completely
If your symptoms are acute or persistent, consult with a licensed health care provider
What if it comes back?
