You don't press a finger to stop hiccups; instead, you apply pressure to a specific point on your body using your finger.
Acupressure Point for Hiccups
According to the YouTube video "How to perform acupressure to relieve hiccups", you should apply pressure to a point, rather than a specific finger, for hiccup relief. This point is often tender, indicating you are in the right spot.
- Location: The video doesn't specify a finger but focuses on a general area on the body.
- Pressure: Apply pressure with a finger (not necessarily a specific one).
- Sensation: You should feel a slight achy sensation, but not pain.
- Duration: Press until you feel some relief.
How To Use Acupressure For Hiccups
To perform acupressure, follow these steps:
- Locate the tender area, as mentioned above.
- Using any of your fingers, apply pressure to this tender area.
- Press until you feel a slight ache; avoid pressing to the point of pain.
- Hold this pressure for a duration to see if your hiccups reduce.
Important Notes
- The video suggests that if the point feels tender, you have found the right area.
- Apply firm but gentle pressure and avoid causing pain.
- The video does not specify one finger, so any finger can be used.
