🧠 🖐️ Great acupressure points to calm the mind.

🧠 Calm the Mind & Improve Focus: Acupressure for ADHD

Feeling restless, distracted, or mentally overwhelmed?

These acupressure points help calm the nervous system, improve focus, and support emotional balance for both children and adults with ADHD.

🔹 ADHD Support Acupressure Points:

GV24.5 (Third Eye Point) – Between the eyebrows
👉 Calms the mind, improves concentration, and reduces mental restlessness

GV26 (Governing Vessel 26) – Between the nose and upper lip
👉 Helps regulate attention, supports alertness, and stabilizes emotions

GV20 (Baihui) – Top of the head
👉 Enhances brain clarity, reduces hyperactivity, and promotes mental balance

CV17 (Conception Vessel 17) – Center of the chest
👉 Relieves anxiety, supports emotional regulation, and eases stress

P6 (Pericardium 6) – Inner forearm, three finger-widths from the wrist crease
👉 Calms the nervous system and improves focus and self-control

🌀 Technique:

Apply gentle to firm pressure for 1 minute per point

Massage slowly in circular motions

Practice deep, steady breathing

Repeat daily, especially before studying, working, or bedtime

✨ For Best Results:
Combine acupressure with a consistent routine, adequate sleep, mindful breaks, and proper nutrition.

⚠️ Note:
Acupressure is a complementary approach and does not replace professional diagnosis or treatment for ADHD. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for personalized care.

👩🏼‍⚕️ Another great point to treat so many conditions.

The GV14 (Dazhui) point is located just below the most prominent bone at the base of the neck, between the C7–T1 vertebrae. Gentle massage or stimulation of this point is commonly used to help relieve fever, chills, and flu-like symptoms, as it is associated with supporting the body’s defensive energy. GV14 is also effective for easing neck and shoulder tension, reducing headaches, and creating a warming, revitalizing sensation throughout the body.

In addition, stimulating GV14 may help calm the nervous system, reduce stress and fatigue, and support overall energy balance (Yang energy). In traditional practice, this point is also linked to immune support and easier breathing. A simple method is to apply gentle circular pressure or light tapping for 30–60 seconds, once or twice daily, until a warm and comfortable sensation is felt.

Love this acupoint for many reasons!! 👩🏼‍⚕️

🌟 TE 5 (Waiguan) – A Versatile Acupressure Point

TE 5 (Waiguan) is an important point in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) known for its wide-ranging benefits. It helps relieve pain in the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder, and is especially effective for migraines (particularly on the sides of the head) and neck pain. Stimulation of TE 5 is also associated with improved nervous system function, including support for motor recovery and reduced muscle spasticity in post-stroke patients. In TCM theory, TE 5 helps clear “heat” from the body, making it useful for reducing fever, inflammation, general discomfort, and symptoms such as tinnitus. The point is located on the back of the wrist, between the two forearm bones, about two cun above the wrist crease. Gentle, regular pressure on this point may support overall wellness.

Hi friends, here are my holiday hours for the rest of the month. I will be at the Calgary Spine and Sport Clinic working my regular hours for the next two weeks. My next Saturday there will be in January. 🎄

I will be available for treatments on the Mondays in Chestermere before Christmas and New Years. Lots of spots left to book online. 💻

I look forward to seeing you for a treatment soon to use up those benefits before the end of the year. ⏰
