Acupressure, like acupuncture, is a type of bodywork that uses finger pressure on specific points to help the body heal and balance itself. Acupressure helps the body function better especially when it comes to the female reproductive system and hormonal imbalances. What I’m going to lay out for you in this presentation are acupressure points that will specifically help balance hormones and boost fertility. You are going to apply gentle pressure to each point for 1-2 minutes, on each side of the body. I like to apply direct pressure on the point while moving my finger in a clockwise motion to really activate the pressure point and give you the most benefit. Like when you massage your temples or your jaw when you feel facial tension.  How can acupressure help? – 1) by mediating the release of chemicals that send messages from the brain that affect reproductive hormones and organs; 2) by stimulating blood flow to the uterus thereby making embryo implantation more likely; and 3) by boosting production of chemicals that inhibit stress hormone levels.
