Acupressure Points
Tracey commends the video linked below which shows her colleague, Liuzhong Ye, demonstrating the palpation (massage) of 3 key acupuncture points Lung 5, Large Intestine 11 and Spleen 9.
Should you contract Corvid 19, she advises to undertake the practice for 10 minutes, 3 times a day to reduce the symptoms. Once the acute phase begins – usually after 8 days – when people can get shortness of breath and lungs fill with fluid, it is very important at this point to use Lu5 (the first point demonstrated in the video) for 1/2 hour or until shortness of breath subsides. The practice can be carried out on both sides of the body.
Tracey is a fully qualified and highly experienced acupuncturist and naturopath. She is Director of Acupuncture in London at the College of Naturopathic Medicine.
