Can be so comforting
Certain old practices are so useful even to this date. Those days, I have seen my grandmother comforting my fully pregnant aunt by massaging certain important points on her body. The soothing words and action would calm my aunt whenever she cried out in pain. When the actual labor pain started, my aunt was rushed to the nearest hospital and within no time she had delivered a healthy baby. Now, the truth about maternity acupressure reminds me of those days when my grandmother did what her seniors were practicing during their times. I am happy that they are employed even now to reduce a womans anxiety and pain, when she is nearing her labor.
