General Acupressure Points to Stay Fit

Acupressure and Reflex Points for Common Ailments
General Acupressure Points to Stay Fit
With the research based on the available literature, we could fairly establish that by checking and activating the following
eight points daily, one can stay healthy.

These eight points are:

1. LI-4 Situated in the web of the thumb and index finger. (Fig. 19.)You
can get this point at the centre of the mount which forms when you
press your thumb close to index finger.
2. TW-5 Situated at four fingers from the wrist crease.( Fig. 19)

3. P-6 Situated at three

fingers from the wrist joint
at the centre. (Fig. 20)

4. St-36 Situated at four fingers from the

knee joint at the centre. (Fig. 21)

5. Liv-3 Situated just at the end of the cavity between the thumb
and the second toe approximately one and half inch from the web.
(Fig. 22)

6. K-3 Situated just one finger from the protruding ankle bone
towards the heel. (Fig. 23)

8. GV-20 Situated at the crossing point of the line drawn

from the centre of the ears and the mid-line of the skull.
(Fig. 23a)

7. Sp-6 Situated three fingers from the protruding ankle bone

towards the calf muscles.( Fig. 23)
