Relieve Common Aches and Pains

If you suffer from certain aches and pains, you may be able to get rid of them using reflexology and acupressure on yourself. By doing so, you’ll do away with waiting for doctor’s appointments or suffering in silence.

If you’re thinking of acupuncture, then you’re right – the two do sound very similar and they actually work on the same principles too. The only difference is that with acupressure, there aren’t any needles to deal with – you apply pressure with your fingers to certain points of your body instead.

On the other hand, reflexology is the use of therapeutic pressure massage on certain areas of our hands and feet. 

These massages are designed to 

improve energy flow, relieve pain and optimize our health. Certain areas of our 

hands and feet correspond to specific 

areas of our bodies and even specific 

organs. The theory is that the root 

cause of pain in specific areas is usually 

due to a blockage of energy, 

which is preventing us from being healthy and vibrant.

Here is a list of aches and pains that 

can be treated using acupressure and reflexology, at home or on the go:

For Headaches and Migraines

Our fingertips (excluding our thumbs), with particular reference to the area at the 

base of the fingernails, can be 

massaged to relieve head pain. Do 

so by focusing on your index fingers, as 

well as the webbing between the thumbs

and your index fingers. The latter is 

often referred to as the Valley of Harmony.
