Method & sources

Follow the source. Show the gap.

This register lets a reader check where each guide came from and where our editorial adaptation departs from the original demonstration.

Observe

We identify the symptom description, movement test, and anatomical area shown in a public demonstration.

Adapt

We omit needle insertion and write a lower-force pressure-and-movement check. This substitution is editorial, not clinically validated.

Bound

We add red flags, stop conditions, and links to U.S. public-health information. We do not diagnose the symptom.

Important evidence note

Acupuncture research is not proof for these routines.

Acupuncture inserts needles and is studied as a distinct intervention. Acupressure and ordinary self-massage differ in stimulation, training, dose, and study quality. A cited acupuncture review can explain the background; it cannot validate our thumb-pressure adaptation.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health notes that acupuncture research varies by condition and comparison group, and that nonspecific effects may contribute to reported benefit. We use that uncertainty as a reason to avoid promises.

How a match is checked

We compare the complaint shown in the video, the side relationship, the visible needle region, and the movement used for the immediate retest. File hashes identify duplicate local copies; a renamed duplicate does not count as another source.

What happens when a record fails

A questionable external link is withheld instead of being presented as proof. At this snapshot, 36 of 37 guides have a reviewable public link. Any missing or questionable match stays visibly marked as under review.
