Before antibiotics or even the typical over-the-counter medications were available, people had to rely on their body knowledge and various methods of self-healing. In India and China, respectively, there were Ayurveda and acupressure. People in those prehistoric societies had such a deep understanding of their bodies that these techniques worked. People still use these techniques in modern times to improve their health or treat certain ailments.
The foundation of the Chinese acupressure technique is the idea that the health of various body parts is largely controlled by specific pressure points. There will therefore be a number of points where pressure can be applied using this method. According to this Chinese healing technique, there is a specific area called "Shen Men" that will help right away by relieving any stress you may be experiencing as well as eliminating insomnia or nervousness.
The point called Shen Men is present on the upper part of the inner ear. By just massaging it a bit, you can make it active. And once activated, it will slowly drain away all the stressful energy from your body. It is not only anti-stress – it will also strengthen your immune system, bring a reduction in stress and get you an extra boost in your energy level.
