Circle and breathe
Press firmly but kindly in small circles for one to two minutes while you breathe slowly. Switch legs if you like.

FAQs
Quick questions
How often can I press ST36?
Short, gentle presses once a day for one to two minutes are fine for many people. It is not a substitute for treatment if cycle symptoms keep returning.
Can I use ST36 during my period?
Gentle self-press during the period is commonly used. Ease off if the leg feels sharp or wrong, and seek care for heavy soak-through bleeding or fainting.
