Acupressure Point for Constipation Relief

The reference describes a technique involving applying pressure to a specific point on your hand to potentially alleviate constipation. This point is located in the soft, fleshy area between your thumb and index finger.

How to Locate and Apply Pressure

  • Location: Find the soft skin between your thumb and index finger on the top of your hand.
  • Pressure Application: Use the thumb or index finger of your opposite hand to press on this point.
  • Technique: Apply circular pressure for 1 to 3 minutes.
  • Repetition: Repeat the process on your other hand.

This acupressure technique aims to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote bowel movement, potentially providing relief from constipation.
