Got a hangover?
You didn’t mean to do it, but you drank too much and now you have that terrible hangover. Acupressure can be an effective way to relieve many of the symptoms caused by over drinking. Stimulating the following acupoints may ease the throbbing headache, eye pain, nausea and fatigue. Blood circulation is increased and muscular tension is released. The body can then detoxify itself and regain its balance. Use all or just one or two of the following points.
LI 4 (hegu) in the webbing between the thumb and index finger
Press this point to relieve frontal headaches
B 10 1/2inch below the base of the skull, 1/2 inch out from the spine, on the ropy muscles
Firmly press this point while you breathe deeply for about one minute to relieve exhaustion, heaviness in the head, and eyestrain
GB 20 below the base of the skull in the hollow between the two muscles, about 2-3 inches apart
Close your eyes and apply pressure on both sides of the skull for at least one minute to relieve a throbbing headache
B 2 in the indentation where the bridge of the nose meets the ridge of the eyebrow; and St 3 at the bottom of the cheekbone directly below the pupil of the eye
Hold these points together for one minute with eyes closed and breathing deeply to relieve bloodshot eyes and headache
Sp 16 on lower edge of ribcage about 1/2 inch in from nipple line
Gently press upward for about a minute breathing deeply through the nose to relieve nausea
GV 16 in the center of the back of the head in a large hollow under base of skull; and GV 24.5 directly between eyebrows
Press both at the same time as you breathe deeply for about a minute to clear the head
