How to Relieve Fatigue of The Eyes, Stiffness of The Neck and Shoulders While You Are Working On The Computer

Acupressure or massaging Gohkoku point on the hands is very effective to relieve fatigue of the eyes and stiffness of the neck & shoulders or techno stress.
It is one of the most powerful points to release the nuero-chemicals that helps to increase the blood circulation of the brain, and relax the nerves and reduce tension of muscles. It is also very effective to reduce sore throat, headache and toothache.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
    
   Find the most tender spot between the thumb and forefinger

   * Find the most tender spot - Gohkoku point by pressing between the thumb and forefinger as shown in the diagram. Use the right thumb to press the left side, and vice versa.

2. * Once you find the exact point, keep massaging or pressing until soreness of the spot will disappear, roughly for a few minutes. Then you will notice that stiffness of the neck & shoulders and fatigue of the eyes would be much less.

3. 
    

   * This simple but very effective acupressure or massage should be done anytime and anywhere, even when you are working on the computer or attending a meeting. Nobody will notice it! If fatigue of the eyes is a main problem, massage this Kyokuchi point on the elbow as well(it is at the end of the crease when you bend the elbow, a quite tender spot when pressed hard). Massaging along the line connecting Gohkoku and Kyokuchi can be much more effective too.

Tips & Warnings

• When you visit the dentist, it is recommended to keep massaging Gohkoku point on the hand while your dentist is working on your teeth, for it will help ease toothache and prevent fainting. Massage the point on the side of an affected tooth.
