Chinese doctors in villages were killed by

00:00:08

the population if their inhabitants fell ill.

00:00:12

Inhabitants in poor health were a sign that the

00:00:15

preventative doctor had not done their job well.

00:00:18

Their job was to prevent anyone from getting sick

00:00:21

by prescribing a good diet and appropriate movement.

00:00:25

In case of fragility or tiredness,

00:00:28

they also prescribed adequate herbal concoctions and intervened through

00:00:33

massages or acupuncture on the right energy points,

00:00:38

thus making energy flow where it is blocked,

00:00:41

bringing a flow of energy where it is missing.

00:00:44

Here are 3 acupuncture points that you can stimulate in case of stress.

00:00:50

Stress is particularly likely

00:00:52

to disrupt the chi,

00:00:54

the flow of vital energy,

00:00:56

and to cause many ailments such as headaches,

00:00:59

digestive problems,

00:01:00

and insomnia.

00:01:02

Through the stimulation of acupuncture points,

00:01:04

we can promote the free circulation of qi,

00:01:08

thus improving health.

00:01:10

Kidney 27 Acupoint,

00:01:12

the acupressure acupuncture point kidney 27,

00:01:17

known as shufu,

00:01:18

is located in the hollow under the clavicles on each side of the sternum.

00:01:23

If you tuck in your shoulders,

00:01:25

you will be able to feel and see its hollows more clearly.

00:01:29

The spacing depends on your morphology and is normally the same width as your jaw.

00:01:36

Use your two middle fingers and two index fingers to

00:01:39

stimulate them on both sides at the same time,

00:01:43

or use your thumb on one side and middle and index fingers on the other side.

00:01:48

It is said

00:01:50

that all fingers except the thumb,

00:01:52

have a negative or positive polarity.

00:01:55

Hence the importance of using either two fingers or the thumb to remain neutral.

00:02:01

So how to stimulate these points

00:02:03

either by maintaining pressure for 30 seconds to a minute.

00:02:08

This point can be sensitive,

00:02:10

especially the first few times.

00:02:11

It is normal to have a little pain.

00:02:14

If the pain is too strong,

00:02:16

be gentler.

00:02:17

The goal is not to hurt yourself but to

00:02:20

facilitate the circulation of energy in this kidney meridian

00:02:24

that begins under the sole of the foot

00:02:26

and ends in the collarbone.

00:02:29

You can also stimulate these points more actively.

00:02:33

Paul Denison,

00:02:34

the founder of Brain Gym,

00:02:36

recommends stimulating these kidney 27 points that he calls brain buttons

00:02:41

with the other hand on the belly.

00:02:43

And following a horizontal line with your eyes,

00:02:47

with your eyes,

00:02:48

not with your head,

00:02:49

and then change hands.

00:02:51

This point strengthens the immune system

00:02:54

and is part of the so-called tonic points.

00:02:58

It is also very effective in calming states of psychological tension

00:03:03

such as anxiety,

00:03:04

worry,

00:03:04

and depression.

00:03:06

It also has a positive effect on breathing.

00:03:09

By rolling your eyes from left to right,

00:03:12

you will develop clarity about yourself and the situation while relieving stress.

00:03:17

I recommend doing this movement 2 or 3 times a day for 30 seconds to a minute,

00:03:23

especially before any action that generates stress for you.

00:03:27

It will help you to keep the right tone,

00:03:30

remain relaxed,

00:03:31

and gain clarity to cope with any situation.

00:03:35

Lao Gong point.

00:03:37

The acupressure point PC8 pericardium 8 called

00:03:42

lao Gong gives energy and life force.

00:03:46

It is located in the middle of the palm of your two

00:03:48

hands where the folded middle finger touches when it flexes on the palm

00:03:53

between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpals.

00:03:56

It is here.

00:03:58

Massage on both sides with moderate gentle pressure

00:04:03

frequently and daily for 1 or 2 minutes.

00:04:07

You can also simply apply sustained pressure on this point with your thumb

00:04:12

or slow pressure with quick releases.

00:04:15

This acupressure is recommended at any time,

00:04:19

but especially in the morning when waking up and before work,

00:04:22

you can do one hand and then the other.

00:04:25

The third acupressure point,

00:04:27

the hoku point,

00:04:28

this is the LI4,

00:04:30

large intestine 4 point

00:04:33

between the thumb and the forefinger.

00:04:36

A study by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2014

00:04:41

showed that 30% acupressure on this Hoku point

00:04:45

reduces upper body tension by 39%.

00:04:49

It is useful to reduce stress,

00:04:51

headaches,

00:04:52

insomnia,

00:04:53

and tension in the neck and shoulders.

00:04:56

The hocku point is located on the back of the hand

00:04:59

in the hollow of the clamp between thumb and forefinger.

00:05:03

It is pressed with the thumb of the other

00:05:05

hand and in the direction of the index finger.

00:05:08

Hold the pressure

00:05:09

for 10 to 15 seconds

00:05:12

and adjust according to the state of the point.

00:05:15

When the point unblocks,

00:05:17

we feel an influx of chi like a damn giving way.

00:05:21

Wait until the floe calms down before removing the thumb.

00:05:26

If you need to stimulate the point for a longer period of time,

00:05:30

be careful not to tense your hands.

00:05:32

Adapt the pressure according to the pain.

00:05:35

Release slightly if the pain is too strong.

00:05:39

This point is fabulous because it is used to treat pain and tension,

00:05:43

physical and psychological,

00:05:45

which includes many problems headaches,

00:05:48

constipation,

00:05:49

insomnia,

00:05:50

stress,

00:05:51

tense shoulders and back.
