These Pressure Points Will Help Alleviate Allergy Symptoms
Allergies are not a disease, but they do have an adverse effect on the body and bother us no less, as any person who suffers from them can testify. Some people suffer from this phenomenon due to inhalation of certain allergens, while others experience it due to contact with allergens or the ingestion of them.
During the transition seasons, the chances of exposure to these substances increase, so many people experience headaches, weakness, itching, and a host of similar symptoms. These symptoms are usually treated with different medications, but allergy symptoms can also be treated naturally, with a pressure point massage existing for each individual symptom, which you will get to know all about below.
Pressure points for treating respiratory
problems
An allergy that affects the airways and causes symptoms such as
difficulty breathing, coughing and worse are very dangerous, and it can
occur after exposure to the venom of certain insects, with a bee sting
allergy being the most common. When you have an allergic reaction, you
should quickly seek medical help, but while you wait for medical help to
arrive, you can massage the following pressure points to help calm your
symptoms.
1. The Elegant Mansion (K-27)
You will find these points on both sides of
the chest just below the collarbone next to the sternum. Massaging
these two points helps prevent respiratory blockage, as well as treats
chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, bronchitis, and anxiety. Press
the points with your index finger for 3-4 minutes.
2. Fish Border (Lu-10)
This pressure point is known to help treat
breathing difficulties, and no breathing difficulty treatment is
complete without massaging this point. It is located in the fleshy part
under the thumb, between the wrist and thumb joint. Massaging it reduces
chest pain, shortness of breath, and asthma attacks. Press for 3-4
minutes on both hands.
Pressure points to prevent a runny nose
Allergic rhinitis is usually caused by exposure to dust or animal fur
and is not a response that endangers the body. However, it is unpleasant
and harms the quality of life, but with the help of these 4 pressure
points in your facial area, you can get rid of the annoyance in your
airways. ( see my next post)
Pressure points to prevent eczema
There are allergic reactions that cause us itchiness and redness,
pestering and irritating areas of the skin, which after some time will
become scaly. This is eczema, most often caused by exposure to allergens
found in animal fur. You can prevent it from appearing and soothe it
with the following pressure points.
1. Wind Pool (GB-20)
pressure points for allergies
These points are on the sides of the base
of the skull, right in the area where the neck begins. They are often
used to release a stiff neck, but they can also help prevent the
exacerbation of eczema caused by an allergy. Press the points for 3-4
minutes.
2. Great Abyss (LI-4)
This point is between the thumb and
forefinger, and it helps open the meridians of the colon and improve the
flow of energy in the body, which helps to heal and alleviate allergy
symptoms that affect the skin and respiratory system. Press on the point
with your thumb for 3-4 minutes on both hands.
Pressure points to prevent urticaria
Another allergy symptom that affects the skin is urticaria, which is
manifested in the form of a rash. In most cases, the rash disappears
after exposure to the allergen h,as ended, but this is not always
possible, for example, when living with a dog or a cat. Other factors
that can cause urticaria are sensitivity to gluten and lactose and these
following pressure points will help you get rid of this annoying rash.
1. Great Surge (LIV-3)
This point is between the big and second
toe, about 2 cm below the base, and it is recommended to breathe deeply
while massaging it. In addition to its beneficial effect against rashes,
it also helps to calm the mind.
2. Curved Pool (LI-11)
This point is on the outside of the elbow,
just at the end of the fold created between the two parts of the arm. In
addition to soothing the skin rash, massaging this point also helps
reduce blood pressure. Massage it on both arms for 3-4 minutes.
Pressure points to prevent edema
Edema is an allergy phenomenon that is difficult to diagnose, as it
often accompanies and exacerbates other allergic reactions. The edema is
caused by fluid retention and in Chinese medicine, it is linked to
weakness in the spleen and kidney meridians. The following pressure
points should restore the condition to normal and prevent the build-up
of fluids in different parts of the body.
1. Shining Sea (KID-6)
This point is a powerful one in the
treatment of edema and fluid retention in the body, and it shows good
results every time it‘s massaged. You will find it on the inside of the
heel, just below the ankle. Press it for a minute on both feet.
2. Sea of Qi (CV-6)
Many people use this point as well when
treating edema, and it is located at a distance of 2 fingers below the
navel. In addition to edema, massaging it helps to get rid of chronic
diarrhea, constipation, and gas, and is especially important for women
with menstrual problems. Press the point to a depth of about 5 cm gently
and gradually, while taking deep breaths, do this for 2 minutes.
