I'm not sure what accupressure does to the thyroid, but when I followed the posted instructions, I found I had to pee a lot more -_- .  I saw an accupressure chart in a book and found out I'd been pressing the area to stimulate my kidneys instead -_- .  The thyroid part is a small area right at the second joint of the thumb.

I wish I could afford to get my thyroid checked medically, but I have no money or insurance :-( .  Thus, I am just trying every non-medical suggestion I come across, just in case, unless/until I can afford to see a real doctor, at some point.

People with underactive or overactive thyriods can be prescribed Thyroxin, but only by your doctor.

Is there a diagram of the specific area?  I'm not sure if it'll work, but it shouldn't hurt anything to try, I guess. . .

Have you talked to your doctor?  If you have a thyroid problem, your doctor can probably prescribe something that can help.  Ask him about Meridia. Hope this helps!!!
