FAQs
Quick questions
Which point should I start with?
SJ6 is the general constipation point, including during a difficult pass. Add HT7 when the pattern has lasted weeks. Use tummy circles and ST25 when the belly feels stuck, and skip both during diarrhoea.
How often can I press these points?
Once or twice a day is a common educational habit. Keep the press kind. If constipation lasts more than a few weeks, or you need laxatives often, book a consult rather than adding more home pressure.
