Acupuncture and acupressure are traditional Chinese medicine techniques that are often used to treat various medical conditions, including aphasia and mutism.

• DU20 (Baihui) - located on the top of the head, this point is believed to help improve cognitive function and relieve mental stress.

• LI4 (Hegu) - located on the back of the hand between the thumb and index finger, this point is thought to stimulate the brain and improve speech function.

• ST36 (Zusanli) - located on the lower leg, this point is believed to help improve overall health and energy levels.

• SP6 (Sanyinjiao) - located on the lower leg, this point is thought to help improve digestive function and relieve stress.
