Finger Pinching for Health and Healing
Scientists have found that in neuro-reflex therapy, stimulating nerve endings is more effective than directly piercing the spinal cord, especially stimulating acupoints at the fingertips. Based on modern medical spinal reflex theory and traditional Chinese meridian theory, nine finger-pinching techniques for health and healing have been developed:
1. Pinch the two joints of the right thumb to treat liver disorders.
2. Pinch the three joints of both ring fingers to treat tinnitus.
3. Pinch the two joints of the left thumb to treat diabetes.
4. Pinch the base of the left little finger to treat hypertension.
5. Pinch the inner side of the three joints of the left little finger to treat heart disease.
6. Pinch the base of both index fingers to treat dermatitis.
7. Pinch the three joints of both index fingers to prevent and treat dysmenorrhea.
8. Pinch the three joints of the right middle finger to relieve eye fatigue.
9. Pinch the three joints of the left middle finger to enhance physical strength.
Each pinching and massaging session lasts three minutes, performed once or twice daily.
