acupressure
Some time back I wrote a post on curing abdomen pain through acupressure. When you press those acupressure points it helps in curing or reducing the abdomen point. These points were tried successfully by me on multiple than one patients. Later I realized that some of the points which I pressed during the acupressure therapy are also pressed while practicing Vajrasana. Vajrasana is one of the important asanas which help in stomach diseases. Regular practice of Vajrasana improves digestion and relief from stomach disorders. Vajrasana also strengthens the legs and cures rheumatic legs pain. Some of the points I mentioned are located on the legs and they are coincidentally pressed during practicing Vajrasana.
Purpose of this post is to point out the points which are common with the Vajrasana and the Acupressure therapy for abdomen pain. Knowing this will help us in Understanding how to use various asanas in combination with acupressure to get quicker relief. For example if we know the acupressure points for a particular disease then as a next step we can observe which asanas work on those points. Then along with Acupressure we can practice relevant asana. Of course it is important to observe the various precautions related to a particular disease and the asana.

Points Which Are Pressed
Please refer to the post here for the points.
1. This point is located just above the joint of the two middle fingers of the foot. Since the top of the feet are pressed against the floor this point is pressed. This is same as point 1 mentioned in the article.
2. To locate this point draw a imaginary line from the join of two middle finger on the feet to the ankle. The point will be on the on the ankle at the end of the line.
3. This point is located on the right leg. Just below the bottom of the knee cap there is another prominent bone joint. The point is located just outside the bone. This is same as point 3 on the article.
4. Apart from these common points there are other points which are located on the back of the leg which are pressed during Vajrasana which like the back of calf muscles, back of knee joint, and point just below the buttocks.
