This information explains how to use acupressure (AK-yoo-PREH-sher) to lower stress and anxiety. Anxiety is a strong feeling of worry or fear. Acupressure is a kind of massage. It is based on the traditional Chinese medicine practice of acupuncture (AK-yoo-PUNK-cher). With acupressure, you put pressure on certain places on your body. These places are called acupoints (AK-yoo-poynts). Pressing these acupoints can help your muscles relax and improve your blood flow. It can also help with many common side effects of chemotherapy. You can do acupressure at home by using your fingers to put pressure on different acupoints. Follow the steps below to learn how to do acupressure on yourself to lower stress and anxiety.

How to find pressure point Extra-1

To find pressure point Extra-1:

Place yourself in a comfortable position. You can sit, stand, or lie down. Using any hand, place your thumb at the midpoint (the center) between your eyebrows (see Figure 2). This is pressure point Extra-1. If you have trouble finding it, make sure your thumb is on your forehead. Do not put your thumb on the bridge of your nose. Press down on this point with your thumb. Move your thumb in a circle while applying pressure. You can move it in clockwise (to the right) or counterclockwise (to the left) circles. Do this for 2 to 3 minutes. Some people may find it hard to use their thumb. You can use your index finger instead. Be firm when applying pressure, but do not press so hard that it hurts. You may feel some aching or tenderness, but it should not be painful. If you feel any pain, you’re pressing down too hard. You can do acupressure on this point a few times a day until your symptoms improve. Acupressure is a complementary therapy. Complementary therapies are treatments you can use along with your cancer treatments. They can help ease your symptoms.

Does blowing nose make congestion worse?

But in a new study, they have found that doing so may actually make a cold worse, because the blow propels mucus into the nasal sinuses. Blowing one's nose creates a significant amount of pressure, according to Jack M.

webmd.com - Cold Symptoms Are Nothing to Blow Your Nose At - WebMD

Sept. 29, 1999 (San Francisco) -- On average, adults blow their nose 45 times a day during the first three days of a cold, according to doctors at the University of Virginia. But in a new study, they have found that doing so may actually make a cold worse, because the blow propels mucus into the nasal sinuses. Blowing one's nose creates a significant amount of pressure, according to Jack M. Gwaltney Jr., MD, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Virginia Medical School in Charlottesville. In fact, coughing and sneezing generate only one-tenth as much pressure, he says. Because of this increased pressure, "each nose blow can propel approximately one millimeter of mucus into the sinuses," says Gwaltney. Since nasal mucus may contain viruses or bacteria, this can increase the severity of a cold, he says. The practical implication of these findings, the authors say in a press release accompanying the presentation, is that "there is a potential risk for each nose blow to introduce nasal secretions into the sinuses." To prevent mucus accumulation, says Gwaltney, "use a strategy of early, continuous treatment. The minute you think you're starting a cold, start treating it. Don't wait around a day or two to see if it will go away."
