Tonsilitis

LU-6 Kongzui – Join points LU-5 and LU-9 with a straight line. This point lies on this line, five thumb-widths below the elbow-crease (i.e. point LU-5). Point should be in a pumping manner for about a minute.

LU-7 Lieque – This point lies on the outer border of the forearm, 1.5 thumb-widths above the wrist joint. Using the thumb of the opposite hand, touch the point and then gently begin to apply pressure below the skin, angled slightly down toward the wrist and thumb. Apply sustained pressure or small, massage rotations to the acupoint. Use the fingers of teh same hand under the wrist as support. Continue to apply pressure for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

LU-9 Taiyuan – This point lies at the outer (i.e. thumb side) end of wrist-crease. Point should be stimulated in a pumping manner for about a minute.

LI-4 Hegu – This point lies in the flesh between the thumb and the index finger. Presence of sharp pain on deep pressure confirms the fact that you have hit the right point. Locate the point and then press in gently with the thumb of the opposite hand, placing the fingers underneath the acupoint, against the palm of the hand, for support. Press deeply and perpendicularly into the point, applying sustained pressure or small massage rotations to the acupoint for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

LI-18 Futu – Observe and feel a prominent, pointed structure on the front of the neck. This structure, popularly called the Adam’s apple, move up and down when we talk or swallow. Point lies three thumb-widths away (both sides) from the tip of the Adam’s apple. Point should be stimulated in a pumping manner for about a minute.

SP-6 Sanyinjiao – At the inner aspect of the ankle joint is a prominent bone. Feel this bone and determine its tip. From this tip, move three thumb-widths upwards. Mark this level. Point lies at this level, just behind the vertical leg-bone. Apply pressure perpendicularly or use small massage rotations to the acupoint for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
