Acupressure is an ancient healing technique that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body. One such point is the Heart 7 pressure point, which holds great significance in Homeopathic Medicine.
The Heart 7 pressure point is situated on the inner wrist crease, in line with the little finger. It lies between two tendons and is easily identifiable. According to theory, stimulating this point can balance the heart meridian, promoting focus, emotional well-being and reduces stress and anxiety.
While research on acupressure is still ongoing, some studies have explored the effects of stimulating the Heart 7 pressure point. In a 2015 study published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing, researchers found that acupressure at Heart 7 significantly reduced anxiety levels in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Another study published in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine in 2017 showed that acupressure at this point improved sleep quality in postmenopausal women.
Moreover, a systematic review published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in 2019 analyzed several studies and concluded that acupressure, including pressure on Heart 7, may have positive effects on focus, anxiety, stress, and sleep quality.
Apart from its potential emotional benefits, acupressure at Heart 7 may also help alleviate physical symptoms associated with the heart meridian, such as chest tightness and palpitations. It is important to note that acupressure should not replace medical treatment but can be used as a complementary therapy.
To stimulate Heart 7, use your thumb or index finger to apply firm pressure to the magnetic hematite stone on the Heart 7 point for about one to two minutes. You can repeat this process several times a day or whenever needed. It is advisable to seek guidance from a trained acupressure practitioner or healthcare professional for proper technique and individualized recommendations.
The Heart 7 pressure point in acupressure holds potential benefits for emotional well-being, stress reduction, and physical symptoms related to the heart meridian. While scientific evidence supporting its effects is still emerging, preliminary studies suggest positive outcomes. There is also no denying the simple power of the placebo effect. If you're interested in further exploring acupressure, consult a qualified professional for guidance and personalized advice.
