“I have been so busy and stressed lately that my stomach feels uncomfortable.” Do you find yourself saying this almost every day? You might have experienced a sudden sharp stomach ache before an important exam or presentation, or tossed and turned all night with worries only to wake up feeling uncomfortably full as if you had food retention. For those whose stress settles straight into the gut, leaving digestion stalled and bloated, here is how to apply acupressure to Shenmen (HT7), the acupoint that opens the gate of the mind.

Do you often feel bloated and uncomfortable in your abdomen? Do you feel swollen, tired for no apparent reason, and achy all over unlike before? Behind that discomfort you thought was simply indigestion, an SOS signal from your body might be hiding that is more serious than you think.

Have you ever felt bloated and uncomfortable right after eating, ending up feeling even more drained of energy instead? They say eating is one of life's great pleasures, but when eating itself becomes a source of stress, your stomach might be quietly crying out for help.

Is it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? Do you feel drowsy after every meal, with legs that always seem puffy? You might have brushed off these concerns as ordinary fatigue. In reality, these can be meaningful warning signs sent by the spleen.
