Acupressure
Three gentle points for a sleep routine
Use light pressure, slow counting, and a comfortable seat. These are traditional wellness points used here as part of a bedtime routine.
Heart Spirit Gate
On each inner wrist, at the crease on the little-finger side. A calm first point when the mind is busy.
Yintang
Between the eyebrows. Use the pad of a thumb or middle finger and breathe slowly while pressing.
Yongquan / KI1
In the sole depression near the front third of the foot. Useful after a warm foot soak.
FAQ
How hard should I press?
Use firm touch rather than pressure. It should remain comfortable for the full 30–60 seconds.
When should I do it?
About 20–30 minutes before bed, or during a middle-of-the-night waking if that is part of your routine.
Is acupressure safe?
General wellness acupressure is gentle, but pregnancy, epilepsy, recent surgery, and some medical conditions require professional guidance.
