  Consult your reflexology map, which should include wrist acupressure points. (You can get such a map at a bookstore or library.) Wear your bracelet on the wrist that contains the pressure points you would like to affect. If you are having back pain, for example, you want to wear the bracelet on your left wrist, because the acupressure points for the spine are nearby. If you are suffer from gastrointestinal problems, you want to wear your bracelet on your right wrist.

  Place the bracelet on your wrist. If your bracelet allows you to tighten it, do so to your comfort level.

• 4

  Remove your bracelet(s) when showering, bathing or engaging in any activity that would cause it to be submerged. This protects your bracelet from damage or soap-scum buildup.

• 5

  Know that wearing your bracelet(s) overnight is optional. Most therapists recommend that patients start by wearing the bracelets during the day only. If you are not achieving the desired results, try wearing the bracelet(s) overnight.
