Acupressure can have a considerable effect in relieving cold symptoms.
If you have a cold with a runny nose, press the tips of both middle fingers on the inner point of the eyebrows and massage a few times along the eyebrows from the inside to the outside. Then place your index fingers on the back ends of your nostrils and let your fingers vibrate slightly. Then rub the root of the nose on both sides where the connecting piece of the glasses rests if you wear glasses.
An additional point is located on the sternum, where the fourth rib meets the sternum. If you have to cough when pressing and massaging this point, this is a good sign. Your body is reacting to the acupressure.
Our "large intestine 4" point mentioned in the last article can also relieve cold symptoms. This point is located on the back of the hand at the end of the skin fold between the thumb and index finger. Make circular, vibrating movements here with the thumb of the other hand. Work on the left hand first, then the right hand.
This application is ideal for preventing colds or to banish them in the early stages. If you have already caught a cold, a blocked nose can be cleared, the mucous membranes swell and the healing of the inflammation is supported.
