Massage Spleen 8, which is specifically linked to the menstrual cycle.
This point is an absolute must for intense menstrual cramps.
Spend your time massaging in and around this point.
Continue the breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth.
Press into your inner ankle area, also known as Kidney 6.
Locate this point:KI6 can be found approximately 1 inch below the inside of the ankle bone.
