Are you the type of person who goes to the doctor or directly in the pharmacy for every ache or pain, even if it’s minor?  There’s a saying “With medicine, your pain would heal in a week. Without medicine, in 7 days”.   

Maybe you would like to try curing yourself first, before asking for help. And the best thing is that you could do it without spending money on drugs from the pharmacy!

There is an awesome ancient Chinese technique for improving the health and easing the tension and pain in the different parts of the body. With the single use of an ICE CUBE!

There is a pressure point at the base of the skull, right on the middle of the neck, which according to Chinese medicine is known as “feng fu”. There are different ways which you could use to stimulate this “feng fu” point, such as sticking it with a needle, putting the right pressure on it or just putting an ice cube on the spot. Acupuncture also uses this technique.

What it should be used for? What it can actually help you with?

• Improves your mood
• Relieves stress
• Helps with fatigue and weakness problems
• Reduces cellulite (YES!)
• Improves asthma issues
• Decreases headaches and migraines
• Helps with arthritis
• Reduces thyroid problems
• Improves digestion
• Helps with PMS pain
• Improves sleep and insomnia problems

Here’s the simple trick. Lie on your stomach and place an ice cube on the “feng fu” point which is actually where your head ends, in the middle of the neck. The ice cube would stay because there’s a prefect little natural hole there. You should lie still, keeping the ice cube for about half an hour. Also, you should do this on an empty stomach, every morning, and every night before going to bed.

Also, if you don’t feel like lying down, sometimes you could use a scarf as an alternative, to hold the ice cube. But beware that the ice cube will melt faster this way.
