- The daily rhythm — a ~5 minute morning and ~5–7 minute bedtime routine that anchors the whole practice.

Five protocols, one for each thing that's bothering you
Cool the heat
KI3 + LR3 + KI1 to nourish the body's cooling reserve and draw rising heat down — plus a mid-flush rescue.
Settle at night
HT7 + PC6 + Yintang, done in bed, to quiet a busy head and support rest.
Move the stagnation
LR3 + PC6 + HT7 for the emotional edge of the transition, with an in-the-moment rescue.
Rebuild reserve
CV4 + CV6 + KI3 to support foundational energy when the tank feels low.
Support the foundation
CV4 + SP6 for the lower-abdomen foundation, paired with hydration and pelvic-floor habits.
The daily rhythm
A short morning and bedtime routine so the practice becomes a habit, not a chore.
The daily rhythm
Morning (~5 min): KI3 + SP6 + LR3 — supports balance and steadier energy for the day.
Bedtime (~5–7 min): HT7 + PC6 + Yintang — settles a racing mind and supports sleep.
During a hot flush: firm LR3 + KI3 until it peaks and passes.
Common questions
- Do I need any equipment?
- No. Just your hands. No app, no subscription, no gadgets to buy.
- How is this different from the 21-Day Ritual?
- The 21-Day Ritual is a whole-body system. This protocol is narrower and deeper: it's organized entirely around menopause symptoms, so you go straight to what's bothering you.
- Is it safe?
- Done gently, yes. Do not use SP6 (Sanyinjiao) or LI4 (Hegu) if there is any chance you are pregnant, and stop if anything feels sharp or painful. This is self-care, not medical care.
- How long until I notice anything?
- It's a daily practice, not a one-time fix. Most people find the short morning and bedtime routine more useful than occasional long sessions — consistency matters more than intensity.
- Is this a medical assessment?
- No. It's for self-awareness and everyday comfort, not a substitute for professional care. If symptoms disrupt daily life, please speak with a healthcare professional.
Safety, and when to contact a doctor
These routines are everyday self-care. They sit alongside — never instead of — hormone therapy, antidepressants, or anything else your doctor has prescribed. Keep taking what is prescribed, and check with your clinician before adding anything new, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Stop pressing and contact a healthcare professional if you notice:
- bleeding between periods, or bleeding after your periods have stopped
- chest pain, sudden shortness of breath, or pain spreading to your arm or jaw
- a low mood that lasts more than a couple of weeks, or thoughts of harming yourself
- anything that feels new or unusual for you, or that gets in the way of sleep, work or daily life
Acupressure is a comfort practice. It does not identify what is behind a symptom, and it does not replace medical care. Points shown here are traditionally used in East Asian practice.
