How to Use These Points
To effectively use these points for labyrinthitis relief:
- Consult a Doctor: Ensure your symptoms are related to labyrinthitis, not a more severe condition.
- Safe Environment: To prevent injury if you lose balance, practice in a safe area.
- Apply Pressure: Use firm pressure on each point. It should be somewhat painful but not overly so.
