  • Perpendicular Pressure

    Apply steady pressure straight into the point — angled pressure reduces effectiveness.

  • Hold Duration

    Hold each point 1–3 minutes until warmth or release is felt, then move on.

  • Pregnancy Caution

    Avoid deep abdominal points and LI4 during pregnancy unless trained.

Safety Notes

  • Apply firm but never painful pressure — sharp pain means stop immediately.
  • Avoid acupressure over open wounds, inflamed tissue, or varicose veins.
