Acupressure Points for Relieving Constipation.

Working on these points can help you get better quicker. You do not have to use all of these points. Using just one or two of them whenever you have a free hand can be effective. Points (A) -- Crooked Pond Location: At the outer end of the elbow crease. Benefits: Relieves fever, constipation, and indigestion. This is a powerful trigger point for the colon. Points (B) -- Joining the Valley Caution: This point is forbidden for pregnant women, because its stimulation can cause premature contractions in the uterus. Location: At the highest spot of the muscle on the back of the hand that protrudes when the thumb and index finger are brought close together. Benefits: Relieves constipation, headaches, toothaches, shoulder pain, arthritis, and labor pain. Points (C) -- Three Mile Point Location: Four finger widths below the kneecap, one finger width to the outside of the shinbone. If you are on the correct spot, a muscle should flex as you move your foot up and down. Benefits: Strengthens the whole body, aids digestion, and relieves stomach and intestinal disorders. Points (D) -- Sea of Energy Location: Three finger widths directly below the belly button. Benefits: Relieves pain in the abdominal muscles, constipation, colitis, and gas. via Herbalshop
