Therapies... - Acupressure - Contraindications / Precautions / Warnings

It is important to be knowledgeable with the acupressure points you are dealing with. Stimulation of some acupoints can cause undesirable effects and may aggravate a condition. In addition, some points should be avoided when dealing with certain conditions. Consult with your naturopath or other health practitioner when first undergoing acupressure therapy to ensure you are working with the correct acupoint or series of points.

Although acupressure is a safe, effective means of relieving morning sickness during pregnancy, not all acupressure points are safe for use by pregnant women. Consult with your naturopath or other health practitioner before undergoing acupressure therapy to determine the appropriateness of this healing method for your needs.
