What connections are there from the fingers?

• Index finger: Apparently, index finger has the connection to the intestines and stomach. Do you have abdominal pain, bloating or stomach problems? Then try gently massaging your index finger. This should also work with the ring finger, by the way.

• Thumb: The thumb should lead directly to the heart and lungs, where it should have a direct influence. If you feel short of breath or slightly dizzy: Just try rubbing your thumb.
• Middle finger: For travel sickness, stimulation of the middle finger is said to work wonders. A massage supposedly relieves acute nausea in many people after just a few seconds. A technique that is also said to have a great effect on insomnia!
• Little finger: Migraine or neck pain is often caused by uneven blood flow. Massage your little finger for about one minute until the pain slowly subsides: Many people in pain swear by this trick!

How pronounced this effect is, of course, varies from person to person. But even strong critics of acupressure were later impressed by how strong the effect on their health and well-being was afterwards. Just try it yourself and you will see: A quick finger massage can really work wonders!
