stimulate these points for one minuteĀ as you breathe deeply or divide intoĀ Ā
3-5 cycles of pressing for 10 secondsĀ and resting for 3 seconds and repeat.

ring finger joint closer to the palm onĀ the pinky side. Pinch with your thumb andĀ Ā
index finger to stimulate this point.Ā You can press and hold or massage it.
The second one is Large Intestine 4 or LIĀ 4.ćIt's a very versatile point for any kinĀ Ā
of pain but do not press this point ifĀ you are pregnant because it can causeĀ Ā
a labor. If you are not pregnant, pressĀ the at the end of the crease between theĀ Ā
thumb and index finger towards theĀ index finger bone with your thumb.
The last one is Governing Vessel 20 or GVĀ 20. It is located at the top of the head.Ā Ā
