Heal your digestive system.
Help relieve colds.
Help relieve headaches, toothaches and pain.
Aids in healing respiratory diseases and cardiovascular disease.
Helps with thyroid issues.
Helps PMS.

This is how to properly target the Feng Fu pressure point:
Lie on your stomach, take your ice cube and place it right at the point indicated and hold it there for 20 minutes.
If you don’t have time to lie there for 20 minutes, secure it with a scarf and go about your day. Do this regularly in the morning before breakfast and at night before bed with breaks of 2-3 days.
Don’t be alarmed, after 30-40 seconds you’ll feel some heat at the Feng Fu point but keep doing it and within the first few days of continuous use, you’ll feel a europhic sense while your body releases endorphins.
