Remember the famous Thinker? If you were on a TV quiz show, you’d know he was pressing GV 26 Acupressure point with his knuckle. This point is located in the area between your nose and upper lip.
To hold point GV 26, apply firm pressure while breathing deeply for one to two minutes. You’ll be pressing into the gum above your upper teeth. This point will help clear your mind and promote mental stability, and also counteract overwhelm, racing thoughts, panic, dissociation, dizziness, and fainting.
Children with Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, and other learning disorders have chaotic energy flowing within their meridians. The GV 26 point balances this energy to ground a child’s sense of themself, and thus is effective for changing a child’s hyperactivity. Acupressure is a resource for promoting calmness and stability and reducing stress.
Acupressure Point GV 26, between your nose and upper lip, is also a good first-aid point for dizziness, fainting, and emergencies when someone is going unconscious. It’s a revival point that can bring a person back into their body.
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and the hyperactivity disorder known as ADHD are conditions that create impulsive, over-active behavior. Children with ADD or ADHD have trouble concentrating, and often have racing thoughts and difficulty staying focused. Acupressure on the GV 26 point can be a great asset to counteracting these imbalances.
