Pounding temples and lethargy can bite a hole in your day. Acupuncturist Aimee Raupp cures what ails you -- minus the pill popping and double espressos. Stimulate the body's natural healing abilities by pressing gently on these acupressure points with a fingertip or knuckle for 15 - 20 seconds.

Headaches: Find the groove between your 4th and 5th toes. Press the tendon on the side of your little toe, moving toward the ankle. Do both feet simultaneously.

Low energy: On the front of the leg -- 4 finger widths below the kneecap -- press the tender depression between the shinbone and the leg muscle.

Allergies: Squeeze your thumb and forefinger together. Press the center of the ridge formed on your hand near the crease of your thumb.

Menstrual Cramps: On the inside of the lower leg, press on the back of the shin bone 4 finger widths above the tip of the anklebone.
