Abstract
The device for relieving menstrual cramps is a handheld acupressure tool having a support, a handle and three tips extending from the support. The tips are strategically placed at specific distances from each other. The tips are designed to contact the palm of a hand between the index finger and the middle finger, between the ring finger and the little finger and on the fleshy part of the palm near the thumb. The handle is placed on the surface opposite the tips to aid the user in pressing the device into the hand. The device may also have depressions disposed on the same side as the handle. The depressions should align with the tips so that pressure placed on the device through the depressions will be directly transferred to the tips and subsequently onto the palm that the device is being used upon.
