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 um it works about 50% of the time so I’m going to show you how to do it on yourself or to 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 um I’m going to rate her coldness on a scale from 1 to 10 10 being very very very very hot zero being ice cold give me a number how are you going to rate that temperature five five okay now we’re doing on our hands you would do it on the feet feet separately so we’re going to work on the hands first okay so I’m going to turn her this way and the acupressure points to the thid are located right here and if you wanted to know the segment it’s about C5 C6 area right here so now I’m taking my two fingers right here and this is of 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 um 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 no I’m just kidding we’re going to hold it for uh 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 uh so now while I’m doing this I’m going to ask the person that five tell me when it goes to a six okay six okay good now I’m just holding this sustained pressure and it could take about 2 minutes okay so now tell me when it’s a seven seven seven okay good tell me when it’s an eight eight good it’s an eight let me just see here yeah it’s warming up nicely now um what you may want to do let’s say for example it’s going too slow then you might want to move your fingers down just a 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 cuz uh it’s not me okay what is it is it what’s happening now to the temperature um the palms of my hands are warm and then it’s a little bit cold in the top of my hand okay she said the palms of her hand are warm now so it was a five what is the palm of of of your hands right now nine a nine so that’s pretty cool so now what we’re going to do if you don’t have someone to do this on you you can use uh this do-it-yourself version and we’re going to use on someone this small we’re going to use this width right here sometimes uh we’d use a bigger one but I’m going to actually just this is a tripod so I’m going to sit this back here and why don’t you scoot your butt this way about 6 in 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 uh just sit up for a second okay good we’re going to hit this right here all right so now just kind of lean your head back there yeah do you feel this is the same pressure that I did almost okay do I have to go lower yeah right there mhm how was that good so now what we’re going to do is I’m going to take this I’m going to 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 2 or 3 minutes that way no one needs to press 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 um go to sleep and you it’s hard to sleep because your your hands are feet are so cold so this is just something you can do um see if it works uh it may work uh I say it’s about 50% so give it a shot and I will see you in the next video
