hey dr. Burke here in this short video

we’re going to talk about how to warm up

your hands or your feet using

acupressure to the thyroid now I’m just

going to make a disclaimer I’m not

curing thyroid disease okay I’m just

showing you how to influence the thyroid

to warm up the hands and feet it works

about 50% of the time so I’m going to

show you how to do it on yourself or

have someone do it on you if it doesn’t

work chances are that the reason why

you’re cold is coming from another

source

okay so there’s many different causes of

cold hands or feet so first thing you

want to do is rate the coldness so let

me just see you have yeah you do have

cold hands I’m going to rate her

coldness on a scale from one to ten ten

being very very very very hot zero being

ice cold give me a number how are we

going to rate that temperature high but

okay now we’re doing on our hands you

would do it on the feet separately so

we’re going to work on the hands first

okay so I’m going to turn it this way

and the acupressure points to the

thyroid are located right here and if

you wanted to know the segments

so that’s c5 c6 area right here so now

I’m taking my two fingers right here and

this is course someone else doing this

you’re going to take your hand in the

forehead

and press down here straight like this

okay like scissors of course it if there

is an issue here it might be a little

sore so go light but I’m going to press

right in here and the most important

thing is we don’t mess up their hair

okay so now I’m pressing on this point

right here and I’m just going to hold

this for about an hour now I’m just

kidding we’re going to hold it for a

couple minutes here so I’m pressing

right into this little point right here

and you’re going to feel a little kind

of a resistance and I’m just holding an

equal amount of pressure at the area of

the lower neck okay so it’s right

through here

right about there and so now while I’m

doing this I’m going to ask the person

that five tell me when it goes to a six

six okay good now I’m just holding this

sustained pressure and it could take

about two minutes okay so now tell me

when it’s a seven

seven okay good tell me when it’s an

eight

good it’s an 8 let me just see here yeah

for warming up nicely now what you may

want to do let’s say for example it’s

going to slow then you might want to

move your fingers down just half an inch

okay because you want to get the exact

opposite of the thyroid gland so you

want to get the exact opposite if you

draw a circle around where the thyroid

is which is in the front of the neck and

the lower part so I’m going to come down

here like down at c6 which is the last

one of the last segments before c7 which

is very lower so we’re going to just

hold that right there now what’s

interesting when I went down here a

little lower her forehead just heated up

so there’s something happening here

because it’s not me okay what is it is

it what’s happening now to the

temperature okay she said the palms of

her hand are warm now so it wasn’t a 5

what is the palm of your hands right now

a 9 so that’s pretty cool so now we’re

going to do if you don’t have someone to

do this on you you can use this

do-it-yourself

version and we’re going to use on

someone

this small we’re going to use this with

right here sometimes we’d use a bigger

one but I’m going to actually just this

is a tripod so I’m going to set this

back here and once you scoot your butt

this way about six inches yeah now look

at this so I’m going to actually

position this let me just take the hair

out of the way here and just give me

that scissors over there so we’re going

to come right down here just sit up for

a second okay good when I hit this right

here alright so now just kind of lean

your head back there yeah do you feel

this is the same pressure that I did

okay I do I have to go lower

right there how was that so now we’re

going to do is I’m going to take this I

try to have her lean back a little bit

like this and let gravity pull her head

back so now we have an acupressure

device that’s exactly at the lower neck

pressing on those two points for about

two or three minutes that way no one is

the pressure she can just lay back let

gravity push her head back on this

device and the longer she does it the

warmer she’s going to get so this is

great to do especially if you have to go

to sleep in you it’s hard to sleep

because your your hands or feet are so

cold so this is just something you can

do see if it works

it may work I say it’s about 50% so give

it a shot and I will see you in the next
