Diagnosis in Acupressure

Diagnosis in Acupressure

What is the method of diagnosis in Acupressure?

Research has shown that only a small percentage of disease is caused by germs and most by lifestyle. Bad habits are the main cause of disease, especially bad eating habits and chronic strees, which create toxins in the body, leading to health problems.

These toxins, fats etc. negatively impact our Vital Force. When this Vital Force stops flowing, the body starts giving us signals.

When any organs are diseased, their related points in the hands and feet will be very painful and/or tender when pressed.

How can we diagnose our own disease?

If there is pain or extreme sensitivity in any of the points below one may be able to diagnose both current or potential problems.

Solar Plexus (29)
