If You Press This Point And Hold For Two Minutes THIS Happens To Your Body!

All around the world people are constantly searching for natural and alternative ways to help treat their health conditions and disorders. They don’t want to have to rely on modern health options, which usually involve harsh and expensive pharmaceuticals, that often have even worse side effects than the actual issue itself. Many people end up turning to homeopathic remedies in an effort to naturally balance and help heal their bodies, as well as their minds.
One of the most popular and effective treatment methods comes from the ancient Chinese alternative medicine field of acupressure. The simple act of applying pressure to various points on our bodies does wonders to dissolve away aches, pains, tension, and the built up stresses hampering our bodies.
Acupressure works by stimulating the thousands of nerves in the hands and feet, thereby increasing blood flow. Human feet have over 15,000 nerves and they all connect to form a network that reaches different areas of the body, such as our main organs and glands.
Many have found that by using the simple techniques at home they could dramatically relieve pain and discomfort caused by common ailments. People have relieved headaches, digestion issues, sleep problems, back pain, and more by massaging points on the feet associated with the area in which the problem stems from.
One such point is called the Great Rushing, which is located in between the big toe and the second toe. By pressing and applying pressure to this point for at least 2 minutes a day it helps to relieve nausea, abdominal pain, back pain, menstrual cramps, vomiting, headaches, insomnia and other sleep disorders. Refer to the video for more information about the many other benefits it can yield, and to see exactly where it’s located.
Another point that works wonders when massaged is the Three Yin Crossing point. To locate it you first must find the highest peak on your inner ankle bone. From that spot measure about four finger widths up your inner leg, and the point will be just behind the shin bone.
Once you have located it, press down with your thumb on the point for a total of 6 seconds, then release for 2 seconds, and repeat this for at least 5 minutes. After, switch feet, find the spot on your other leg, and repeat. If you find that this form of acupressure is helpful you can repeat it once more on each leg.
Also, if you feel any pain when you press down that means you are in the wrong spot and should stop immediately. It’s recommended that you do this massage at night and regularly to achieve optimal results. Studies have shown that the Three Yin Crossing point can effectively reduce pain and discomfort stemming from menstrual cramps.
It can also be used to alleviate bloating, gas, and digestion problems, as well as to help improve urological and pelvic disorders. In addition, the simple massage can help people a lot in dealing with stress and anxiety, chronic fatigue, and insomnia.
The treatments are incredibly simple, easy to do, convenient, and don’t cost a penny if done in the comfort of your home. If you’re hesitant or doubtful about whether or not acupressure could help you try thinking about it like this; you have nothing to lose and potentially lots to gain by giving yourself a foot massage. At the very least you’ll feel more at ease, relaxed, and comfortable.
Our legs and feet go through a lot of abuse daily and we often neglect them. So tonight kick off your shoes, peel off your socks, and give yourself a massage! Doing this right before you go to bed will help you to relax, fall asleep faster, and sleep better overall. Try it and let others know to help them find comfort and better health in their own lives!

Dad Didn’t Know His Child’s Babysitter Was a Monster! But Then The Family Dog Began Doing The Strangest Thing!
image via – youtube.com
It’s never easy to leave your young child in the care of another person, but many people have to do it. Finding a good babysitter is just as stressful as leaving your child with them and so when Benjamin and Hope Jordan hired a woman to watch their newborn in the comfort of their home, they thought they had a good thing going.
The young couple were living in Charleston, South Carolina when they found twenty two year old Alexis Khan to care for Finn, their 7-month old son. She passed a background security check and seemed nice, responsible, and well spoken. Every weekday morning she would arrive promptly at their house before they headed out to work and stayed until they returned home in the afternoon. At first everything seemed to be going really well, there were no issues and the couple grew to trust Alexis. But at the five month point, things began to change.
The parents noticed that their dog Killian, a Labrador Retriever-German Shepherd mix, started to act very aggressive towards Alexis. He would growl and take up a protective stance, placing his body between her and Finn, whenever she came in the door. A couple of times the couple even had to hold Killian back because he would start going towards Alexis as if he was going to attack her.
They didn’t take the sudden change in their dog’s behavior lightly and knew something was wrong. Killian was normally a very sweet, friendly dog who had never acted so defensively towards anyone before. Instead of ignoring him, Benjamin and Hope decided to hide an iPhone under the living room couch to record what was going on while they were gone. They thought that maybe it would help shed light on why their dog hated the babysitter.
When they got home and checked the recording, they were shocked at what they heard. It started off with Alexis yelling and swearing at Finn while he cried. Their surprise quickly changed to horror when they heard slapping noises and their son crying out in obvious pain. From there it only got worse when they heard what seemed to be shaking sounds and after that they immediately brought their baby to the hospital to have him checked out. Shaking a baby can easily cause serious, permanent injuries or even death and they couldn’t rest until they knew Finn was okay.
Thankfully he was okay, and the abuse was reported to the police who investigated the babysitter. At first, she denied any wrongdoing but when they played the recording, she finally confessed to what she had done. After pleading guilty she was convicted of child abuse and sentenced to 3 years in jail but got released early on parole after serving just one year. Alexis also had to register with the child abuse registry which bars her from ever working with children again.
Killian ended up saving the day, and potentially even Finn’s life, thanks to his change in behavior. If he hadn’t been so aggressive and adamant, perhaps Benjamin and Hope would not have noticed or looked into Alexis. The dog isn’t done yet either, he ended up being trained to be a psychiatric service animal, which he is probably wonderful at!

They Spot A Puppy Alone In a Rusty Cage At The Park. Then They See This Disturbing Message Written On His Head
image via – youtube.com
Anyone who wants a dog needs to be prepared for the responsibility that it entails. Being a pet owner is a full time job that requires a lot of time and attention, if you can’t give an animal the life it deserves, then you shouldn’t have one.
Unfortunately, people who have no business owning a pet sometimes end up with one. Oftentimes they realize too late that they’re not up to the task and so they either surrender or dump the animal somewhere. That’s what happened in the unbelievable case of Marvella, a 5 moth old puppy who was found abandoned in a Chillicothe, Ohio park by a couple.
They had gone out for a walk when they suddenly stumbled across a little white puppy locked inside a metal cage. The poor dog had words written in black permanent marker all over its body, including “free”, “good home only”, and “I am a gift from God.” It was incredibly disturbing to see a dog locked up and abandoned like that, but the messages written in fur were especially cruel.
The couple ended up calling the police who brought the puppy to the Ross County Humane Society. When the staff there first saw the dog they were appalled at her appearance and decided to call her Marvella, from the French word “merveille” which means miracle.
They immediately set out to clean up her fur and washed her gently with a mixture of dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. When they were done only the faintest marks remained and the staff showered Marvella with all the love and attention she deserved.
They also shared her story online where it quickly went viral, people all over the world were smitten with the cute little puppy’s happy smiling face.
Adoption applications soon poured in and after sifting through well over 90 of them, one family was finally chosen to be her forever home. Within a week Marvella was out of the shelter and in her new home with the Reitzel family, who were over the moon to be placed with such a great dog.
Perhaps just as important as Marvella’s happy ending was the spotlight her story shone on all the other animals who are abandoned and surrendered every day. Many people were inspired to donate to the shelter and the awareness she raised helped many other dogs stuck in similar situations.

THIS Guy From Kenya Dug A Hole For 3 Miles For The Most UNTHINKABLE Reason!
image via – youtube.com
If you’ve ever had to deal with government bureaucracy and all the red tape that goes along with it, then you know how long and frustrating it can be to get anything done. It seems like even the simplest of problems can take months, usually even years, to get fixed. By the time that happens, most people have already found ways around whatever the issue may be or gone ahead and tried to fix it themselves.
It’s not just an American or first world problem, even the remotest of places in the middle of Africa are stuck dealing with government ineptitude. For the small village of Kaganda, located two hours north of Nairobi, Kenya, residents had been asking the local government to build a road for years, yet they never seemed to get anywhere. A date had previously been set to begin construction but that was over 5 years ago, so they began to lose hope of ever getting the road built.
The villagers badly needed this particular road built because there was only one paved road in town and a couple of dirt ones. The one road that brings them to the closest market and church in the area isn’t a direct route, instead they have to travel 2.5 miles out of the way to get there. Then they must walk that extra 2.5 miles with all their groceries on the way back. Despite their constant pleas for a new direct route to the market, the government could not get the ball rolling and they remained majorly inconvenienced for years.
For a while the villagers used a shortcut through the bush, but they were cutting across private property. The property owner eventually put a fence up, effectively blocking the shortcut, and so they went back to taking the long way. At that point, a local 45 year old man named Nicholas Muchami decided to get the job done the old fashioned way. He was sick of waiting for a road that might not ever get built and so he set to work digging it himself.
Using just the farm tools he had, he worked to clear the land. He cut down trees and bushes, pulled up roots, and dug out a path for the road that would lead directly from the village to the market area. Nicholas worked tirelessly from 7am to 5pm no matter what the weather was or how hot it got. In just six days he had managed to clear 1.5km and had made a dirt road wide enough for cars to drive on and the villagers were thrilled.
Eventually Nicholas had to take a break from his volunteer work. He normally worked odd jobs to make money and since he wasn’t getting paid, he needed to get back to work to provide for his family. He also needed to rest, and when he did a few other villagers picked up where he’d left off to help finish the road.
News of the road and how it was built soon spread and major news outlets like the BBC sent camera crews to get pictures of it. When the story went global people started sending Nicholas gifts, food, and money to help support and show how much they appreciated what he was doing. Their kind gifts enabled him to focus and work only on the road, which he soon completed.
In the end, Nicholas had dug just under three miles almost all by himself. When asked what motivated him, he said that he did it for the women and children in the village and to save everyone time. Now trips to the market or church are drastically shorter and the elderly, sick, and disabled can take a car there in just minutes. All this is possible because one man decided to do the work himself rather than wait for the government who had been promising it for years.
