When and how long to apply pressure?






When an Acupressure point is painful, there are three ways of applying pressure, depending upon the intensity of pain.




The Acu touch or Acu pressure or Acu massage has to be applied on the particular points for just two minutes. Pleasurable pain is the goal.




As a preventive measure, it is normally found to be more beneficial when pressure is applied early in the morning or in the evening, when the Yin (Negative) and the Yang (Positive) energies are equal. It can also be done at any other time but it should be avoided for two hours after a heavy meal or one hour after a light meal. As a curative measure, it can be applied on the onset of the symptoms.





It is very effective for relieving pain in the body like head ache, back-ache, knee pain etc. In all other diseases, considerable improvement has been noticed. Any problem without any pathology in it can be effectively relieved with acupressure.





Normally, for relieving pain, one can expect results immediately after acupressure and within a few days full cure is possible. But for certain diseases aminimum of four to eight weeks are required to notice the changes.
