This is also inspired by traditional Acupressure, and when we clap, these acupressure points, the different organs to which these points are connected get activated which eventually helps relieve pain and improve the health of organs like kidney, lungs, heart, digestive tract, pancreas, lower back etc.

We can do whole body tapping, or practice clapping and gain the same benefits. This is once again harmless, with no side effects, and I will encourage the readers to give it a try.
