Acupressure Massage 547
The following massage is also useful to relieve pain and cramps, as well as signs of
pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). See page 51.
Massage in between the toes, around the ankle bones, and up the ankles on the
outside of the feet. Look for areas that are sensitive and massage these places longer.
For a pregnant woman, do not massage the outside of the big toe, the arch or the
middle of the bottom of the foot or above the outside of the ankle. It can make
labor start.
Hand, wrist, and ear massage can also help with pain or signs of PMS.
