Hand Point
Point Location
These points lie along the creases of the hands where the fingers join the palm.
These are said to help release endorphins (the body's natural painkillers) into
the body.
Acupressure Technique
Women can hold a small comb in the palm of their hand so that the teeth of the comb
are touching these points. They can then grip the comb during contractions, applying
pressure to the level that feels the most useful.
