3 acupressure points for healthy lungs and immunity

Try acupressure for lungs health

In the past six months, we have come to know a lot about coronavirus, yet there are a lot of things we are still unaware of. Scientists around the globe are still trying to figure out the exact nature of the virus and ways to contain it. Every passing day we come to know something new about this deadly virus. In such circumstances, prevention is the only way to keep oneself protected from getting infected. We know that COVID-19 is a respiratory disease, which is spread by tiny respiratory droplets. Apart from practising social distancing, wearing a mask and maintaining proper hygiene, it is important to take good care of your lung health at this time. For this, you can try acupressure.  

Acupressure and lungs health

Acupressure is based on this concept of life energy which flows through meridians in the body. It is believed that any blockage and disruption in the flow of energy through the median can lead to different health issues. The lung meridian is one of the major ones comprising of 12 meridian pathways in the human body. Applying gentle pressure on these points can actually help to improve your lungs health and boost your immunity. Here are the three acupressure points that you should press regularly.  

​Hands

You will find the second point in your hand. Stretch your one hand with palms facing downwards. Press between the V shape formed between the web of the thumb and index finger.

Palm

The third point can be found on the fleshy pad of the palm between the wrist and the joint of the palm.

Collarbone

The first point is the hollow space under the collarbone. The point is located between the first and second rib. You can locate this point on both sides. Apply gentle pressure on these points.

How to apply pressure

Apply gentle pressure on these three points for 1 to 2 minutes daily twice or thrice. Hold the pressure points with your fingertips for 4-5 breaths and then release. Repeat the same 5 times in a row.

8 unusual breast cancer symptoms

When you think about breast cancer, what do you think of? A young woman with nipple discharge? Probably not. And that's because we often associate a lump as a sign of breast cancer, as well as assuming it only affects older women.
But what about the other symptoms? There are plenty of indicators you might have breast cancer that you're not familiar with, so breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! is helping us all out by shining the light on the lesser known signs and symptoms...

1. Changes in skin texture (e.g puckering/dimpling)

This is why it is so important to feel AND look at your boobs. Dimpling and puckering of the skin can look similar to orange peel. 

2. Lumps and thickening

Some boobs are naturally lumpy and this can be perfectly normal. The key is to get to know how your boobs feel, so you would notice if any new lumps appear or if your boob starts to feel thicker in one area compared to the rest.

3. Swelling in your armpit or around collar bone

It is important to check not just your boob but your upper chest and armpit too, as these areas also contain breast tissue. 

4. Constant, unusual pain in your breast or armpit

Some breast pain can be perfectly normal, especially around your period. But keep an eye out for any unexplained pain in your breast or your armpit that’s there all or almost all of the time.
5. Nipple discharge
This is liquid that comes from the nipple without squeezing it.

6. A sudden change in size or shape

Most women may naturally have one boob bigger than the other or experience their boobs gradually changing as they get older. Many changes are perfectly normal, however if you notice a sudden, unusual change in size or shape then get it checked out.

7. Nipple inversion and changes in direction

All this means is your nipple has become pulled into the boob or looks different to usual. This could be a change in its position or shape. That’s why it's important to pay special attention to your nipple during your regular checks.

8. A rash or crusting of the nipple or surrounding area

There are many reasons why your skin could become irritated, especially if you are breast feeding, but if you notice any redness or a rash on the skin and/or around the nipple or any crusting of the nipple, make sure you get it checked out by your doctor.

EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF BREAST CANCER

Breast Cancer Breast cancer usually starts as a small, painless lump(s) in the breasts, and later metastasizes into the rest of the body. Diagnosing breast cancer quickly increases the survival rate considerably. Breast cancer is mostly common in women over the age of 50, but it can appear in any woman of any age. It is also possible for men to contract, but these cases are very rare.
Abnormal lumps or swelling of the breasts
The most common symptoms of breast cancer are the appearance of lumps, swelling or edema. They may not be painful, but should be looked at by a doctor nonetheless.
Inflammation, lumps and dimples on the breasts
Visible changes such as inflammation, bumps or dimples on the breasts could be indicative of cancer. Even if you think that the symptoms are barely noticeable, don’t ignore them – if it truly is breast cancer, early discovery can save your life.
Nipples: change in location / inflammation / secretions
If the skin of your nipple changes texture or becomes brittle, if it becomes inflamed, swollen, changes shape or location (flattening or sinking of the nipple), or you experience secretions - these are all common indicators of breast cancer. If the symptoms don’t disappear after a while, consult with your physician.
Other symptoms:

• Chronic pain in the breasts or armpits
• Uneven, inflamed blood vessels
• Swelling of the armpits or the collar bone
• Sores on the breasts
•
