Before resorting to the Acu therapists it is always better to study the symptoms of the disease the patient is apparently Accupressurist suffering from. Some times the patient himself know what kind of disease he is suffering from. Then the should concentrate those very points. Sometimes even the patient may be quite confused about his problem. There have been frequent cases wherein the patient was treated for the stomach disorder but the root of the disease lies in the heart region. A typical case of this type is the problem of acidity. Mostly this is deemed to be the stomach/liver related problem but nine out of ten times it signified the heart ailment case on further verification.
Acu-techniques scrutiny of the reflex point is quite capable of finding the basic cause of their trouble. Many a time various clinic tests fail to identify the root cause of the problem. But an expert Accupressurist can identify it almost in no time. Hence these reflex points are said to be the mirror of the body ailments. It is always better to have the full objective diagnosis done before resorting to this kind of treatment. Even the most exhaustive diagnosis can help in identifying the most difficult to diagnose ailment like cancer or even the AIDS.
Seeing the illustrations given earlier can throw much light on the parts to be treated by pressing the relevant reflex points. By mere pressure from hand can reveal the true nature of the ailments. One precaution, needs to be always taken while studying the reflex points. Their position is not identical in all hands and feet. Like body structure differs from person to person, so is the position of these reflex points. Some persons might be having long feet or hands or their palm and foot may be quite broader than the average . Accordingly the position of these reflex points would also change a bit.
Pressure should be given by means of the thumb, fingers, wooden objects or plastic pieces.
The pressure applied should be optimum—neither very hard nor very mild. It should be enough to make the person feel it comfortably if even the optimum pressure makes the person uncomfortable, it is a sure sign of the limb corresponding to that pressure point being defective.
If the patient feels unbearable pain at a particular point or points these parts may be marked separately. Note down these points and start treating them one by one to identify the root cause of the trouble. The absence of any pain on applying pressure is a sure indication of those parts corresponding with those points as working perfectly. Pain on pressure means deposits of the crystals of the foreign material which needs to be removed by this technique to cure the trouble.

Leakage of the Bio electricity
Human body is not only a unique machine but a store house of infinite energy too. This energy, called bio electricity in the acu parlance gets dissipated everyday owing to age and other factors. This dissipation is one account of its leakage. This leakage accentuates the process of aging and hence the body gets afflicted with a variety of diseases. There is only one reflex point in the entire body on the right forearm about midway between the wrist and elbow. This reflex point covers about one square inch area. If we start giving regular pressure on it just for a minute’s duration every morning we can always plug this leakage of the bio electricity and ensure a happier, healthier and longer life. This point is not difficult to locate. Apply pressure at this point regularly for about a week and see the change in your life. One week would be sufficient time for you to judge it is beneficial effect. Then you can continue this practice not only for staying healthy but also for preventing the diseases afflicting your body.

Then giving pressure on that counter point the pain in the affected limb is removed.
