The advice of Dr. Denis Lamboley, Shiatsu Practitioner

“Since the lungs are an important source of energy, it is necessary to massage the points that correspond to their meridian. One of them is located in the middle of the body, at the level of the stomach. Another way to tone up is to act on the bladder canal. Place your hands behind your back and, exhaling, gently and gently tap your fists on both sides of the spine, descending from the shoulder blades down to the sacrum. Then walk in the opposite direction. Finish the massage in a standing position, knees slightly bent: shake your whole body for a minute, then relax and “hang” like a puppet on strings. Inhale slowly and deeply and exhale three to four times in a row.

Exposure to specific biologically active points with needles is called acupuncture (acupuncture). Another way to increase vitality is by pressing and massaging the same points (acupressure).

Olga Solodovnikova’s advice, acupuncturist

“At the tip of the little finger (on both hands) is one of the points of the meridian of the heart, which, according to the Eastern tradition, is responsible for our psycho-emotional balance. It is worth working on this point in case of severe fatigue, exhaustion. Press rhythmically on the tip of the little finger on one side and the other until you feel relief (10 to 60 times). For the same purpose, you can rub the auricle: it contains projections of all organs and tissues of the body. This massage helps to cope with a sudden and very severe loss of energy. “
