The Acupressure in First Aid Federation, Hong Kong

Certificate in AFA


Acupressure in First Aid based on ancient principles of acupressure, but using finger pressure and rubbing or massage instead. Initial treatment combines finger pressure and rubbing to produce heat which minimizes pain. This is followed by the application of pressure, to varying degrees and at particular locations, to effect the required relief.


Index to Emergencies / Conditions


Acupressure points should be used together with - not as a replacement for - first aid
and other conventional treatments.

For each entry, acupressure points are listed in preferred order of use. An asterisk(*) indicates that
application of heat to the point may be beneficial. To produce heat, rub hands together and
then hold (warm) palm over the points, or hold an external source -
such as a hair dryer - close to the point.
