Problem: Article: Stimulating the acupressure point between your big toe and second toe is best done while laying down supine, which is sometimes called the "sleeping" position by practitioners of TCM. For best results, press down on the top of the foot in the webbing between the first two toes and hold firmly for at least 30 seconds, then release gradually. Do both feet after a short rest between the two. Soaking your feet in an ice bath post-treatment will help prevent any bruising or foot soreness. There is another beneficial acupressure point on the bottom of your foot, a little closer to your toes than your heel. To start, clean your feet thoroughly and sit on a stable chair. Then massage the bottom of your foot for a few minutes before locating the pressure point. For best results, press down with your thumb and hold firmly for at least 30 seconds, then release gradually. Do both feet after a short rest between the two.  If you have especially ticklish feet, then use some peppermint lotion on them, which will cause a tingling sensation and make them less sensitive to touch. Massaging and putting pressure on the feet and parts of the lower legs is not appropriate for women who are pregnant as it may induce uterine contractions. The relevant pressure points behind the knees are situated directly below the center of the knee joint (point B-54) and also a few inches lateral to the knee joint within the lateral gastrocnemius or calf muscle (point B-53). For best results, press down with your thumb and hold firmly for at least 30 seconds, then release gradually. Do the points behind both knees consecutively.  Stimulating the B-54 and B-53 points behind both knees can help relieve stiffness in the back as well as pain in the hips, legs (from sciatica) and knees. The points behind the knee are sometimes referred to as the Commanding Middle by practitioners of TCM.
Summary: Press on the top part of the foot while laying down. Press on the sole of your foot while sitting. Press on the acupressure points behind the knees.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before beginning, you need to remove all the dirt and oil from your hair. Lather in a clarifying shampoo and rinse it out, and then repeat the process to ensure your hair is thoroughly clean. Then, shampoo your hair with a moisturizing shampoo to hydrate it and keep it from drying out your hair. Using a wash-out conditioner is important because it helps add moisture back to your hair. Lather the conditioner in well, and then rinse until the water runs clear.  Choose a conditioner made specifically for hair pressing. These conditioners have added silk to smooth out your hair.  Steam the conditioner in if you can, meaning you leave the conditioner in for about 20 minutes while applying steam. At home, use the heat coming up from a hot shower to help steam it. If you don't want to stand in the shower, wrap your hair with a towel for 20 minutes, which helps the conditioner set in. A leave-in conditioner adds moisture to your hair, and it also helps protect against heat damage from the flat press. Separate your hair into sections, and spray it in before blow drying each area. Alternatively, use argan oil instead of a leave-in conditioner.

SUMMARY: Shampoo your hair twice with clarifying shampoo, then once with moisturizing shampoo. Condition your hair. Add a leave-in conditioner.

Write down any questions you have for your doctor. Questions for your doctor could include :  Is depression the most likely explanation of my symptoms? What treatments would you recommend for me? What kind of tests do I need? How can I best manage my depression with my other health conditions? Are there alternative or complementary treatments that you recommend? Do you have any printed materials that I can take home? Do you have a website that you recommend? Do you have a local support group that you recommend?   The doctor will likely have questions for you too. Be prepared to answer the following:  Do any of your relatives have similar symptoms? When did you first notice your symptoms? Do you only feel down? Or does your mood fluctuate? Have you ever had suicidal thoughts? How is your sleep? Have your daily activities been affected? Do you use any illicit drugs or alcohol? Have you been diagnosed with any mental illnesses before? Ask a trusted friend or family member to accompany you to your appointment. They can help you remember to share things with your doctor, and can help you remember what your doctor shared with you. In addition to a psychological evaluation, you can expect a physical exam, including measuring height, weight and blood pressure; and laboratory tests, including blood count and thyroid evaluation.
