Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing method which focuses on putting pressure with fingers on particular pressure points all over the body. From tension headaches, nausea, backache to sleep problems, this traditional Chinese therapy is known to heal a variety of physical and mental ailments.
Acupressure functions on the basic principle of applying targeted external physical pressure on a few, easy to access body parts. This ancient healing practice also claims to aid weight loss by boosting metabolism.
The best part, however, is the fact that you don’t need any assistance as it is something you can practice on your own to speed up your quest to lose weight. There are a lot of easy to massage points all over your body where you can apply pressure with your fingers to aid weight loss.
1.Upper lip
Apply gentle pressure on the space between your upper lip and nose (philtrum). Make sure to apply moderate pressure right in the centre of the philtrum. This pressure point is known as the shuigou spot.
You can also massage this spot in a circular motion for 2-3 minutes every day to stimulate metabolism.
