• Acupressure points for allergy relief

    Posted Mar 25th, 2013 By in Acupressure Points With | No Comments

    Spring is here and so is the allergy season for some people. Luckily I haven’t had allergy for many years but my friend was suffering from the allergy symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing so I looked up the acupressure points for allergy relief.

    LI 4 – (Do not press this point if you are pregnant!) It is located at the end of the crease when you close your thumb and index finger. Press against the index finger bone for one minute as you breathe deeply. Repeat on the other hand.

    LV 3 – It is located in the valley between the big toe and second toe. Rub or press the Liver 3 point for one minute as you breathe deeply. Repeat on the other foot. If you are lazy like me you can hook your big toe and stimulate this point on the other foot.

    Do these several times a day. My friend thought these points were helping but ended up getting the over the counter medicine anyway. Do what you gotta do but if you want to try the alternative medicine approach to battle the allergy season, try these acupressure points.

    Happy Massaging!

  • How to massage your partner’s IT Band and hip

    Posted Mar 18th, 2013 By in Couple's Massage With | No Comments

    Today I’m going to show you another way of massaging your partner’s IT Band which is located on the outer thighs.

    Have the partner lie on the floor face up. Bend one of the partner’s legs and push it over the other leg. Sit parallel to the partner’s IT Band. Secure the partner’s bent knee with one hand. Also secure the partner’s foot with your knee so you can keep it bent.

    Press several locations on the IT Band with your hands alternating between the IT Band and the knee. Rock your body side to side and use your body weight to press.

    While you are here you might as well give some love to the hip. Press the area between the hip bone and the big bump at the top of the thigh bone. This area is often neglected but it helps to loosen up the tight hip. I bet it feels really good to press here but start gently in case your partner’s hip is super tight.

    Happy Massaging!
