I get a daily natural health ezine that today had this little tidbit. I thought I would share with everyone else. Good Luck!


Hands-On Constipation Help

This technique is about 3000 years old or so and
comes
from Chinese acupuncture sources. Note that it is
not
recommended for pregnant women!

The next time someone asks for help with
constipation,
tell them to find on either hand the flap of soft
tissue
between thumb and forefinger. Use the other hand,
with
thumb on the top, as a "pincer" to feel around
this
triangle of flesh, pressing until you find a
point that
sends a jolt like an electric shock up the arm to
the
elbow.

Once you find this point, press down hard for
five
seconds and release for five seconds. Repeat
three times.

This technique can be used two to three times a
day for
severe cases, though usually that many
repetitions won't
be needed.

Don't test this one on a state highway, 50 miles
from the
nearest rest stop or your spouse will be looking
through
brochures for rest homes with full nursing
facilities.
