Christmas is meant to be joyful… so why does it often leave us feeling nauseous, bloated, stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted?

In this final podcast episode of the year, we break down the real festive struggles — from overeating and heartburn to family stress, headaches, and mental overload — and show you how to use simple acupressure techniques to feel better fast.

Whether you’ve eaten one too many Yorkshire puddings, forgotten the roast potatoes, or you’re just trying to survive the festive chaos, this episode gives you practical, easy-to-use acupressure points you can do anytime, anywhere — no equipment needed.

In this episode, we cover:

✅Acupressure for nausea and overindulgence

✅Stress and anxiety relief during Christmas

✅Focus, and grounding

✅Relief for heartburn and indigestion and bloating

✅Headaches, tension, and pain relief

This episode blends Traditional Chinese Medicine, modern understanding of stress and digestion, and real-life festive humour — because Christmas doesn’t have to feel like survival mode.
