PRE-DESIGNED ACUPRESSURE TECHNIQUES

Acupressure Exercise To Assist In The Healing Of Diagnosed Intestinal Ailments - Constipation and/or Diarrhea:
Internal Exercises were designed by the early Chinese sages to energize the entire body, balance the energy levels, and promote a more effective functioning of the internal organs of human beings. They are deceptively simple and unfailingly effective. They are based upon characteristic movements of three animals noted for their longevity and powers of self-healing. These Internal Exercises are named after the animals from which they are taken -- The Deer, The Crane, and The Turtle. They were arrived at through literally 6,000 years of observation and study of the natural principles of healing.

The Crane Exercise was developed to strengthen and energize the internal system, including abdominal muscles, internal organs, lungs and circulatory system. The exercise was named after the Crane because it appears to be constantly stimulating its abdominal area. As it stands, the crane alternately folds first one leg and then the other into its belly, exerting pressure on its abdominal muscles and internal organs. It is believed that this activity stimulates and strengthens its digestive, respiratory, eliminatory and circulatory systems.

When applied to animals, this effortless two-minute Crane exercise will assist in regulating the eliminatory system of a pet who is experiencing Constipation or Diarrhea and is known to bring relief.
