Hi Bonnie,
Acupuncture uses needles and sometimes herbs. For acupressure, you use your hands, and sometimes feet. There are many kinds---shiatsu, high touch, etc.
The Chinese believe eczema is due to blockages in the bladder, lung, and large intestine flows. Let's just take the lung High Touch Acupressure. Hold three fingers of one hand on the top of your other arm until you feel a balanced, equal pulsation in each of your fingers. That's the sensation you wait for with each spot. Use both hands at the same time for each spot. Breathe in your abdomen and relax. You can do this with the other person lying down, or standing, but I find it easier when the person is sitting in a straightbacked chair.
Let me know how it works!
Best,
Carolyn
