What does the picture show?
The visual offers “simple tips” for self-massage (acupressure/hand reflexology) to relax and relieve minor discomfort. Each vignette highlights a red point to stimulate and associates this point with an expected effect: heaviness after a meal, bloating, gastrointestinal disorders, and difficulty falling asleep.
