Guide line to acupressure( Rules of acupressure therapy)





Since simple healing systems work without any specific diagnosis, overall treatment can be given to correct all the imbalances.
Listen to the complaints carefully.
Soreness or pain is common at most points and does not by itself indicate any abnormality.
Never prescribe any medicines if you are not authorised by your formal qualification.
Never treat any specific illness but give importance to those specific points.
Describe your technique willingly and educate them by demonstration.
Share your knowledge and encourage self-help technique. 2. Guidelines
Look out for any visible abnormality in feet and hands.
Pleasurable pain should be the goal; intersperse the acupressure sessions with desserts and relax the person.
Never work on affected areas; keep your finger-nails trimmed so that they do not make any contact with the skin.
Although one can use health gadgets if many people are to be treated at once, there is no substitute for human hand and human touch.
Never try to do all at once. Each treatment can be done for ten to twenty minutes and the results are expected within four to eight weeks. Severe problems will take a longer time.
Consistency and regularity are essential to get results. Twice a week is recommended for the frequency of treatment with self-help.
Occasionally body may react to get ride of the toxins accumulated in the body. Work on the kidney area at the end of the treatment.
Position the person in a relaxed way and have a direct eye contact while applying pressure to observe the reactions. Wash your hands clean using a soap. 3. General
It is safe for everyone including babies and old people.
Apply light pressure on the feet of the infants and the pressure has to be soothing for the old people.
Finally the attitude of the therapist is very important for the success of the treatment.
