Hello again !! I hope you found some helpful ideas in the previous allergy blog . As promised , this time we will review some useful acupressure points that will address some of the most common allergy related symptoms as well as some that will generally tonify your body.
Acupuncture point: LI20- located on the Large Intestine Meridian, located on either side of your nose about 1/8 of an inch from the tip (where your nose and your face meet). ST3-Can also be located by placing your middle finger next to the location of your index finger.Press upward on these points and breathe deeply while you hold your fingers in place for no less than a full minute.
Symptoms: Sinus congestion
Acupunture point: UB2- located on the Bladder Meridian directly above the inner corner of the eye on the inside end of the eyebrow (you will feel a little notch in the bone there and it will be quite sore if your sinuses are inflammed). Manipulate with moderate pressure .
Symptoms : Sinus congestion and runny nose
Symptoms: Sneezing , runny nose , sore throat, general " lung " health.
Symptoms: Preventative!! Tonifies Wei Qi ( a concept similar to Western “Immunity") and is thought to increase overall health .
Each point should be held for 30-60 seconds and you can repeat the sequence or individual points 2-3 times a day when experiencing allergy symptoms.
I hope you find this information useful . Next time, we will review nutritional recommendations and additional therapies for allergy management .
