Nashville Fertility Massage / Fertility Acupressure Points
For thousands of years, the Chinese have used
acupuncture and acupressure points to help heal the body. By stimulating specific points along the energy channels
of the body (meridians), the body responds both physically and energetically.
Many people scoff at
this "energy-stuff," and don't give it a chance. I use to be one of those people until I saw with
my own eyes (and hands) the changes that can occure in a person's body when these energy principals are applied with massage. I
use acupressure almost every day in my general massage practice here in Nashville. This stuff works.
But
you don't have to believe me. Just try holding a few of these points on yourself and see if you notice a difference.
Below are a few points that are associated with regulating menstrtion and helping with ovulation. DO
NOT PRESS THESE POINTS IF YOU THINK YOU ARE PREGNANT.

Inside Leg Points
Spleen 6 is about four finger's width above your inside ankle bone. Press and hold it gently for
about 2-5 minutes. You may notice that the area softens as you hold it. If so, gently follow the point in as it
softens.
Kidney 4 is about one finger's width behind the inside ankle bone. Hold it for 2-5 minutes.
Kidney 6 is located half way between your inside ankle bone and your heal. Find the soft spot in that area and
gently hold.

Abdominal Points
The acupressure points in the abdominal area are along a line straight down from the navel.
The first point, Central Vessel 4, is about four fingers width down from your navel. The next two points, Central Vessel
3 and 2 are about one finger's width below each other. Gently press and hold these points for 2-5 minutes.
These points might be tender, so don't press hard. Allow your mind to relax and let the energy flow down into these
points.
