Acupuncture for
stress reduction
Acupuncture can treat stress, anxiety, insomnia and even depression. So here is tip on how to do acupressure on yourself. Nothing can ruin your day, health or Life like
stress. We all know and have been there. Stress can be a single contributing
factor in major emotional, mental and physical problems. Additionally it can
seriously damage your health in not properly handled.
We do not
always know when stress comes, but we can deal with it when it arrives. There is
an acupuncture point called P6 on the acupuncture pericardium channel. It is
often used for stress, insomnia and anxiety. It will not substitute a regular
acupuncture cession, but it may provide a relief in stressful times. This point
has a connection to the Heart, Stomach and the Liver, so pressing on it may give
you some peace.
Point location: Look at inside of your palm, then about 1.5
inches above the inner crease of your wrist in the middle between 2 tendons.
Press with your thumb and hold for 30 seconds with 10 seconds interval and
repeat 3 times. Click here for more videos on stress reduction
Breathing for
stress reduction
Best thing to do when you're stressed is to focus on the belly button area (acupuncture point called either Ren 6 or Dan Tien about 2 inches
directly below your belly button and between your spine and stomach). Breath is
the connection between your body and your mind.
So by breathing into this point
consciously and regulating your breath will regulate your body and your mind.
You should become aware of your breath and if thoughts come to mind, you go back
to breathing. Breathing should be through the nose not the mouth, comfortable and natural. The only thing that is needed is breath awareness.

Let me know how it works for you.
Think about the ways you currently manage and cope with stress reduction in your life. Your stress reduction journal can help you identify them. Are your coping strategies healthy or unhealthy, helpful or unproductive? Unfortunately, many people cope with stress reduction in ways that compound the problem.
