You’ve surely seen in films how one opponent pressed a point on another’s body and they went out. There are more such points. One of them is located on our palm. Many of you may consider it a movie trick, but believe that it is real. Cultures in the Far East have studied the human body for centuries and looked for places where nerve endings meet. By massaging or pressing them you can achieve relief, or on the contrary pain, even a collapse. It doesn’t matter whether you strike someone or just press, if you find the right spot and use the right technique, the result is guaranteed.
Can any of us do it?
Definitely yes, you just need to thoroughly learn the anatomy of our body, the paths of nerve endings and the places on the body where they are located. Individuals study this for many years at special schools. Some use this technique in massages, elsewhere it is taught as part of fighting, e.g. self-defense. You don’t need any weapon, it’s enough to know where to grab an opponent and where to press them.
One of the points on our palm
Today we will look at a reflex point on our palm. It is located at the base of the thumb. By pressing it for about 1 minute you can make a migraine or headache subside. It is important that you press the right spot, otherwise it will not work. By massaging or simply pressing we activate energy channels in the body. When something hurts us, the body signals that one of the channels is blocked and energy is not flowing through it. When we release the channel, energy can flow and the pain will subside.
Other acupressure points on the body
It can be said that each organ in the body has its energy pathways, and they have endings at various places on our body. For example, the soles of the feet contain the endings of all internal organs. By massaging or simply pressing them, these channels are released. We can also use acupuncture, where thin needles are inserted into the endings of these points. However, this must be performed by a specialist, because if the needle is inserted in the wrong place the person performing it can cause you serious health complications. Therefore if you want to undergo this therapy, make sure that the person you go to knows what they’re doing and will not harm you in the process. Some organ-ending points are large enough that you can try to help yourself in case of pain. It is certainly better than going to the medicine cabinet and taking a painkiller. That will not really help you, it only dulls the pain but does not remove the cause. It should therefore be your last resort.
