In this special episode of Dr. Dad Talkshow, we explore a fascinating topic that blends ancient Indian wisdom with modern parenting — how acupressure, yoga, and holistic healing can help children grow healthier, calmer, and more balanced.
With insights from Dr. Jha, an expert in acupressure and natural therapy, and Dr. Dad, a well-known parenting and child health expert, this conversation helps parents understand how the human body can heal itself naturally when we align the mind, body, and energy together.
🌱 What Is Acupressure and How Does It Work?
Acupressure is a natural healing method rooted in ancient science. It is based on the idea that our body has specific points — called acupoints — that connect to different organs and systems through invisible energy channels.
When these points are pressed correctly, they activate energy flow (Prana) and help the body heal naturally.
Unlike modern medicine that focuses only on symptoms, acupressure works on the root cause — balancing the body’s energy to restore health.
💬 “We are born with the ability to heal ourselves. The key is to know how to unlock that energy,” says Dr. Jha on the show.
👶 Can Acupressure Help Children Grow Healthier and Stronger?
Yes! According to experts, acupressure can help children:
-
Improve digestion and appetite
-
Strengthen immunity and resistance to illness
-
Boost memory and focus
-
Support emotional balance and calmness
-
Improve sleep quality and energy levels
Since children’s bodies are still developing, they respond beautifully to mild acupressure — it’s safe, natural, and doesn’t involve any chemicals or medicines.
Dr. Dad adds: “In today’s world, our kids are surrounded by gadgets, processed foods, and stress. Simple ancient practices like acupressure or yoga can help reset their bodies naturally.”
⚡ How Is Acupressure Different from Massage or Physiotherapy?
Parents often confuse acupressure with massage. But they are quite different.
-
Massage relaxes the muscles.
-
Physiotherapy helps repair or strengthen physical movements.
-
Acupressure activates the body’s inner healing power through energy points.
When we press the right points, it stimulates the nervous system, blood flow, and hormones, improving the entire body’s function — not just one part.
🧘 How Can Parents Use Acupressure and Natural Healing at Home?
You don’t need to be an expert to begin!
Here are some simple steps parents can follow at home:
-
Learn the key acupoints – especially those for digestion, immunity, and calmness.
-
Use gentle thumb pressure for 30–60 seconds on each point.
-
Practice morning or bedtime routines for best results.
-
Combine it with deep breathing or yoga stretches.
-
Stay consistent — it’s not instant magic but steady natural healing.
💡 “Every parent can learn basic acupressure. It’s a gift you can give your child for life,” explains Dr. Jha.
🌼 What Role Does the Mind Play in Healing?
This is one of the most powerful parts of the discussion. Both experts agree — healing starts in the mind.
When a person believes they can heal, their brain releases positive signals that support body functions. Stress, fear, or doubt block those same signals.
That’s why mental calmness is key. Practices like yoga, meditation, and even positive thinking enhance the effect of acupressure.
“Our thoughts create energy. Healing happens when that energy is balanced,” says Dr. Jha.
🌞 Why Are Kids Falling Sick More Often Today?
Dr. Dad points out that modern lifestyle is one of the main reasons.
-
Processed food and junk snacks reduce natural immunity.
-
Screen time and lack of sunlight disturb sleep cycles.
-
Reduced physical activity affects body balance.
-
Emotional stress (even in small kids) impacts digestion and focus.
Natural healing methods like acupressure, yoga, and proper nutrition help reverse these effects gradually — without side effects.
🌻 Can Acupressure Replace Modern Medicine?
No — and that’s an important point.
Dr. Dad clarifies that acupressure is not a replacement but a complement to modern medicine. It helps the body prevent illness and recover faster when used alongside medical care.
“Think of acupressure as your body’s first line of defense — and doctors as your rescue team when needed,” says Dr. Dad.
This balance between ancient wisdom and modern science is what Dr. Dad Talkshow always promotes.
🌾 What Should Parents Know Before Starting?
Here are some precautions and tips before practicing acupressure at home:
-
Don’t press too hard — use gentle, rhythmic pressure.
-
Avoid using acupressure immediately after meals.
-
Never use it on open wounds or fractures.
-
Learn from a certified expert or verified source before beginning.
-
For chronic conditions, always consult your doctor.
Remember — consistency and calmness are key to natural healing.
🌙 Does Acupressure Help with Sleep and Hyperactivity in Kids?
Yes, several studies and clinical experiences show that regular acupressure:
-
Helps children fall asleep faster
-
Reduces hyperactivity and irritability
-
Promotes emotional stability and better focus
Dr. Jha explains that certain points near the forehead and wrist can help calm the nervous system. When paired with deep breathing or bedtime meditation, they work beautifully to help kids relax.

🌼 What’s the Connection Between Acupressure and Energy (Prana)?
Ancient Indian texts describe Prana — the vital life energy that flows through our body. Acupressure activates this Prana by opening blocked energy channels.
When energy flows freely, the body heals, digestion improves, and the mind becomes peaceful.
It’s a reminder that our body is not just a machine — it’s a living energy system that needs balance and attention.
🌸 Is Acupressure Useful for Parents Too?
Absolutely! Parents often face fatigue, stress, and anxiety.
Regular acupressure can help:
A relaxed parent creates a calm environment for the child — making family life healthier and happier.
