## Journal

- [Cycle Comfort: A Period-Pain Routine at Home](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/cycle-comfort-routine/): When period pain arrives, most of us want two things at once: something kind to do with an evening, and honesty about what that evening can and cannot change.

- [The Desk Worker’s Back: A Five-Minute Routine](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/desk-back-routine/): Eight hours in a chair asks plenty of a back and returns little. This piece answers the question most desk workers ask first — whether five minutes can help — then walks through a short routine built on two classical stations, Shenshu (BL23) at the small of the back and Weizhong (BL40) behind the knee, with desk habits, honest expectations, and clearly drawn stop lines alongside.
- [Getting Started with Acupressure](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/getting-started-with-acupressure/): Acupressure is the quiet art of pressing classical points with your fingers instead of needles. This guide covers what the practice is, where it comes from, how to find and press points gently, a three-point starter routine, and the safety lines every beginner should know.
- [Measuring With Your Own Hands: The Cun System](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/measuring-with-cun/): Classical locations read like riddles: two cun above the wrist, three below the knee. What is a cun, and where do you buy a ruler marked in them? You already own one. This guide explains the body-proportional system behind point location — finger measures, landmark tables, and the habit of measuring with your own hands.
- [Motion Sickness on the Road: A Traveller's Routine](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/motion-sickness-on-the-road/): Motion sickness has a famous address on the classical map: neiguan (PC6), on the inner forearm between two tendons. This post gives an honest answer to whether wrist pressure helps, a step-by-step routine to follow on a coach or a ferry, zusanli (ST36) as a companion point, and the safety lines worth keeping.
- [Pressure, Not Needles: What Self-Acupressure Is and Isn’t](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/pressure-not-needles/): Finger pressure asks almost nothing of you — no needles, no kit, no appointments — yet the line between home self-care and professional treatment is where beginners most often lose their footing. This guide sets out plainly what self-acupressure is, what it is not, and where the boundaries sit.
- [Steadier Days: Pressure Points for Anxious Spells](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/steadier-anxious-days/): Anxious spells visit everyone: the evening that will not quieten, the morning that starts already wound tight. This guide gathers a steady routine around two wrist points — shenmen (HT7) and neiguan (PC6), old companions of household tradition when the mind would not settle — covering how to find them, how to press them kindly, and where honest limits lie.
- [A Tension-Headache Toolkit for Ordinary Days](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/tension-headache-toolkit/): Tight bands across the forehead, a dull squeeze at the temples, heaviness pooling at the base of the skull — ordinary head tension knows how to claim an afternoon. This toolkit collects the four points traditional practice reached for most often, a five-minute routine for ordinary days, and the honest limits of finger-pressure self-care.
- [What De Qi Feels Like — and When to Stop](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/what-de-qi-feels-like/): Press the right spot and something curious happens: a deep, spreading heaviness quite unlike ordinary soreness. Tradition calls that feeling de qi. This guide explains what it is, how to invite it gently, what to make of a quiet day, and the clear moments that mean stop.
- [A Wind-Down Ritual for Sleepless Evenings](https://acupoints.com/en/journal/wind-down-for-sleep/): Some nights the lamp goes off and the mind stays at its desk. This guide offers a quiet ritual for such evenings — two classical points found by touch, a wrist gate and a sole spring, worked gently for about ten minutes, framed as tradition rather than treatment, and bounded by clear lines about when sleeplessness belongs with a clinician.
