Acupressure is an ancient healing art that’s based on Traditional Chinese medicine and has been shown to offer relief from pain conditions, including headaches. With acupressure, you put pressure on specific places on your body. These places are called acupoints. Pressing these points can help release muscle tension and promote blood circulation. It can also relieve many common side effects of chemotherapy. The good news if you want to try this out is that it’s very easy. All it involves is getting comfortable, closing your eyes, and massaging the pressure point in a circular motion for 15 to 20 seconds. You should use firm pressure, but don’t press so hard that it’s painful. And Dr. Lucas shows you which points to use and how in the presentation.
