When a headache occurs, the patient can use the index fingers of both hands to press the [temples] on both sides of the head (located one inch back from the middle of the eyebrow and the outer corner of the eye), press until a distending pain is felt and rotate clockwise for about 1 minute, and the headache will be relieved.

2. Acupuncture for shock first aid

Stimulating the Ren Zhong point (located at the midpoint of the nasolabial groove of the human body) has the effect of increasing blood pressure and stimulating the respiratory center. When a patient with stroke, heatstroke, poisoning, or allergy suddenly becomes coma, stops breathing, has low blood pressure, or even goes into shock, pressing the Ren Zhong point with the tip of your thumb can often provide first aid.

3. Use acupuncture to lower blood pressure

Hypertensive patients often experience a sharp rise in blood pressure due to anger, rage, excitement, fatigue, etc., which poses a great threat to the patient's life. At this time, pressing the [Laogong point] (located in the palm of the hand, between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones, closer to the 3rd metacarpal bone, at the tip of the middle finger when making a fist) can often gradually restore blood pressure to normal.

4. Treat constipation with acupuncture

When constipated, people can press the left side [Tianshu point] (located 2 inches to the left of the navel) with the middle finger of their left hand until they feel a noticeable sour and swollen feeling. Then press and hold for about 1 minute, and they will feel the need to defecate. Then hold your breath to increase the intra-abdominal pressure, and after a while they will be able to defecate smoothly.

5. Acupuncture for first aid in treating syncope

When suffering from heatstroke, stroke or collapse, the patient suddenly faints, becomes unconscious, turns pale and sweats profusely. At this time, family members can use their thumbs to pinch and press the patient's [Hegu point] (located on the back of the hand, at the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone, on the thumb side) for 2 to 3 minutes, which will generally relieve the symptoms.

6. Urgent method of acupressure to stop vomiting

When vomiting, the patient can use the middle finger to press the [Neiguan point] (located in the middle of the forearm, 2 inches above the transverse wrist line) to stop vomiting. The pressure should be applied until a sore and swollen feeling is felt. This will stop vomiting after about 1 minute.
