6 Pressure Points to Treat Heart Problems and Blood Flow
As we get older and as the years pass, our
blood vessels slowly become clogged because of the food we consume, just
like the plumbing in your home. However for plumbing, a plumber can be
called when a problem arises, but with regard to our bodies’ plumbing,
we must contact the doctor immediately to ascertain its severity and its
implications in the present and future. If you know you have a
particular problem with blood flow or your heart, it is recommended,
after consulting your doctor, that you try the following 6 pressure
points - they may provide you with the relief your body needs by
improving blood flow in the body.
1. To treat arrhythmias - GV11 
This helps prevent problems related to arrhythmias, such as bradycardia
or tachycardia. In addition, it also improves mood, helps prevent sleep
disorders and memory problems, and also treats upper back pain, chest
pain, asthma attacks, and coughing.
In order to massage the point, you will
need someone else's help since it is below the 11th vertebra of the
spine. Ask the person who is helping you to move their fingers along
your spine and count the vertebrae from the base of the skull to the
11th vertebrae. Massage the area under this vertebra for a few minutes.
2. High blood pressure - K9
Massaging this point improves the flow of fluids in the body, not only
the blood, but also the overall metabolic rate. It also helps prevent
the storage of fluids in the body, filter the kidneys, improve memory,
and prevent mental confusion.
3. Strong and accelerated pulse - TW15
This point has the power to reduce a strong and accelerated pulse and
calm the heart. It also helps to reduce neck pressure and is generally
beneficial to lung health.
4. Numbness in the legs - GV20
This point is recommended for massage when you feel numbness in your
legs. It helps to improve blood flow to these areas, while also
preventing headaches, dizziness, and insomnia.
The point can be found in the middle of the
top of the head, between your ears - you will feel a small dent in the
area, that’s how you know you’ve found it. Massage the point for a few
minutes.
5. Numbness in the hands - LU7
If your hands fall asleep frequently or if you experience a tingling
sensation that results from poor blood flow, massage this point, and you
will also get rid of headaches, coughs, toothaches and weakness or pain
in the wrist.

The point is located thumb width away from
the wrist, on the lower and outer sides of the forearm. Massage the
point on both hands for a few minutes.

forefinger of the leg, slightly toward the center of the leg, in the
area where the bones of the toes connect. Massage the point for a few
minutes.
