Colds are no respecters of people and can attack in both summer and winter. When one comes on, people head to the store to get cold and flu medicine. Besides catching colds throughout the year, the American Thyroid Association states that 20 million Americans suffer from thyroid disease.
For those who want to avoid taking medicine to treat the cold symptoms or thyroid issues, Acupressure may be able to help relieve the annoying symptoms. According to Natural Herbal Remedies, acupressure has been around for thousands of years and has been practiced by the ancient Chinese to treat pain and illness.
Which acupressure points may help you relieve colds, chest congestion, and balance the thyroid gland?
According to Acupressure Points Guide, three great points for fighting colds are the LI4, LI11, and GV24.5. The LI4 "is situated in between the thumb and the index finger . . . on the back of the hand" and is good for fighting a cold. According to Modern Reflexology, the LI4 may also help in controlling hyperthyroidism. A caution is given to pregnant women to not stimulate this point during pregnancy.
