Acupoint to help calm anxiety + irritability

Point: Heart 7

The point Heart 7 (Shenmen, Spirit Gate) is located on the inside crease of the wrist, on the same side of the pinkie. Press into this point and rub up and down the meridian line to stimulate it.

Heart 7 helps calm the mind and helps clear both anxiety and irritability. This point is incredibly nourishing for the heart and is of great benefit if you experience insomnia and find that you are restless through the nights.

Lavender essential oil is incredibly beneficial for the heart and can be rubbed in to Heart 7 as a way to increase calm.
