The treatment is helpful in assisting with stress management.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the points used correspond to ‘yin’ organs, which are nurturing, restorative and supportive. These ‘yin’ organs deal with the restoration of energy. In western medicine, the kidney, liver and lung are organs of elimination, and are involved in the process of detoxification and cleansing. It is therefore a treatment which supports detoxification and the associated changes within the body, as well as helping to bring calm to both mind and body.
