Healing Fingers
We all use touch for therapy – when we think, we put our chin on
our fist, and when we're uncomfortable, we rub our hands
together as if we're cold. Even babies suck on their thumbs when
they go to sleep. We don't do all of these things for nothing, as
each part of our body is connected to a whole system. If we know
where to apply pressure in the system, we can overcome various
physical and mental symptoms.

Finger Touch Therapy originates from an ancient Chinese
technique, in which every finger relates to different organs and
emotions. In a study conducted by the Mercy Cancer Center in the
U.S., all of the participants experienced beneficial sensations,
including reduced stress and nausea during chemotherapy.
Additionally, many patients that reported difficulties sleeping
found that by holding their thumb and taking deep breaths,
they were able to fall asleep much faster. It is assumed that
thumb holding is related to the way babies suck on their
thumbs, but either way, both patients and doctors strongly
recommend this method.
To use this technique, all you have to do is make a fist around the
finger that’s connected to the sensation or body-part you wish to
soothe, and slowly apply pressure to it for 3-5 minutes while
breathing deeply. If you want to balance your whole body, simply
do it for each finger on both hands.
