Acupressure Points for Relieving Stomachaches, Indigestion, and Heartburn.

Using just one or two of them whenever you have a free hand can be effective.  Points (A) -- Center of Power Caution: Do not hold this point deeply if you have a chronic or life-threatening illness such as heart disease, cancer, or high blood pressure.
