Continue your deep breathing, allowing each inhale to fill you with calm and each exhale to release tension. As you settle into this space, envision the acupuncture points that will assist in balancing your body's response to latex sensitivity and skin irritation.

LI4, known as Hegu, is located in the webbing between your thumb and index finger. This point is renowned for boosting immunity, helping your body defend against allergens and irritants. Visualize a warm light radiating from this point, enhancing your body's natural defenses.

Next, bring your awareness to SP10, or Xuehai, found on the inner thigh, about two thumb widths above the kneecap. This point promotes blood flow and supports skin health. Picture a gentle flow of energy nourishing your skin, alleviating irritation and reducing hives.

Now, focus on LU9, known as Taiyuan, located at the wrist, in the depression below the thumb. This point strengthens the lungs and supports respiratory health. Imagine your breath becoming deeper and more nourishing, filling your lungs with revitalizing energy.

Finally, visualize BL12, or Fengmen, positioned on your back, about one and a half inches from the spine at the level of the second thoracic vertebra. This point helps expel wind and supports your body in warding off external influences. Picture a protective barrier forming around you, shielding you from irritants.

As you breathe deeply, allow the energy from these points to flow through your body, harmonizing your immune system, enhancing circulation, and soothing your skin. Trust in this natural process, and allow your body to return to its perfect, balanced state. Embrace the healing sensations as they envelop you, fostering a sense of peace and well-being.
