Acupoints for fainting

[Guest guest]

The following info is taken from Acupressure's Potent Points by Michael Reed

Gach:

 

Governing Vessel 26, aka Middle of a Person. " Two-thirds of the way up from

the upper lip to the nose. "

 

" Benefits: This first-aid revival point has traditionally been used for

relieving cramps, fainting, dizziness, epilepsy, spinal pain, and extreme

emotional agitation. " (p. 94)

 

Kidney 1, aka Bubbling Springs. " On the sole of the foot in the center

between the two pads. " (It's up close to the ball of the foot beneath the

big toe. Just massaging this general area will help.

 

" First-aid point for relieving fainting, shock, and convulsions. " (p. 94)

 

Bladder 23 and Bladder 47, aka Sea of Vitality. " One either side of the

lower back two and four finger widths away from the spine at waist level. "

(If you draw an imaginary line from the navel in the front of the body to

the back, these points are just about on line with the navel.)

 

" Do not press on disintergrating discs or fractured or broken bones. If you

have a weak back, a few minutes of stationary, light touching instead of

pressure can be very healing. See your doctor first if you have any

questions or need medical advice. "

 

You can work B 23 and B47 with massage. Ball your hands into fists. Reach

around to your back in the area of the points and rub briskly, either up and

down or across.

 

" Relieves fainting, dizziness, fatigue, extreme weakness, and instability. "

 

I believe these are on the acupressure.com website at articles - sample

chapters.

 

Stomach 36, aka Three Mile Point. " Four finger widths below the kneecap, one

finger width outside of the shinbone. If you are on the correct spot, a

muscle should flex as you move your foot up and down. "

 

This one is on the acupressure.com website. This also is one of the points

Skip mentioned, and it will work for acupressure.

 

" Strengthens the whole body, tones the muscles, and grounds a person when

weak, tired, dizzy, or faint. " (p. 94.)

 

Liver 3, aka Bigger Rushing. " On the top of the foot, in the valley between

the big toe and second toe. " (Just massage in the valley in the webbing

between the big toe bone and the toe next to it.)

 

" Relieves fainting, dizziness, exhaustion, headaches, minor nervous

disorders, and hangovers. " (p. 94.) This one also is good for certain Qi

Stagnation problems.
