Three beneficial points for everyone to use are Shen Men, Point Zero & Sympathetic Autonomic Point (See images below). Try stimulating these points by massaging them for approx 1-3 minutes a day, while doing some deep breathing once or twice a day.
Shen Men- A master point that treats almost everything, (stress, pain, detoxification, inflammation, anxiety, etc) is the most used and versatile point.
Point Zero- Balances energy & regulates the hormones, brain & viscera.
Sympathetic Autonomic Point- Moves the body back into a parasympathetic mode (takes you out of fight or flight mode).
