Reflexology and Acupressure

The present day hectic lifestyle, with tight schedules, back  to  back meetings  and  deadlines, often leads to stress, annoying pains  and  aches. A quick option most of us opt for is popping a  pain killer,  hardly  thinking  about  the negative effects  that  it  can  have  on  our  health  in  the  long  run.  Drugs  can  provide  temporary  relief  to  the  body,  but  ancient  therapies  like Acupressure strengthens the  body  from  the  core  by  stimulating  certain  sensitive areas to provide  long  term  relief from ailments  and  pains.  Prevent your body from relying blindly on drugs  and  let it bask in  the wholesome  goodness of Reflexology and Acupressure which is a therapy in complete harmony with nature.

This one  of  the most common yet  intimidating problems that all of us have suffered at some point of time. Although,  in  most cases, headaches  are  mild and disappear on  their own with time, it can wreak havoc on our  health and call for medical attention. The most common type of headache is known as ‘tension headache’ that are caused by prolonged stress, tension and fatigue. Other  related  factors like neck strain  and  prolonged  hours working on the computer are also the culprits.  Acupressure works wonders in providing relaxation and quick relief to the annoying headaches.

I’d  like to share some  go  to  Acupressure  treatments  for  headaches.  It  involves  4  pressure points:

Point 1– This point lies in the flesh between the thumb and the index finger.

Point 2– This point lies in the skin between the 2nd and the 3rd toes.

Point 3– This point is located at the outer tip of the eyebrow.

Point 4– This point is located one thumb-width above the midpoint of the eyebrow.

Apply this wholesome  therapy  instead  of  popping  a  pill and feel your body respond to the nurturing touch of Reflexology.
