Jé-Joh Shén Acupoint Locator
Symptoms and Body Pain Locations
(You must allow "Pop-ups" for the Locator to work properly)
Items marked (M) indicate likely need for medical
attention
Items marked (EM!) indicate potential need for emergency
medical attention.
Note: For the following symptoms, only use acupressure
to supplement professional medical care, or when no professional medical
care is available. Only try acupressure for these symptoms after seeking
professional care and after using standard first aid and emergency
techniques. The CrossRoads Group makes no claims that acupressure will cure, it is important that acupressure, like any procedure, be used under proper professional guidance.
