By using Kicalma, you state that you understand that:

1. The app is for education and self-care. It does not replace medical visits, diagnosis, tests, or treatment by a health professional.
2. Acupressure may help relieve discomfort and bring comfort, but results vary and are not guaranteed.
3. You should not stop or change medications or treatments on your own.
4. You should press with comfortable firmness and stop if you feel strong pain, feel dizzy, or feel unwell.
5. You should not press on wounds, burns, varicose veins, swelling, bruises, fractures, or areas of recent surgery.
6. During pregnancy, you should turn on pregnancy mode and talk to your obstetrician. Some points (LI4, SP6, GB21, BL60) and pressure on the belly are not recommended.
7. If you take blood thinners, have a pacemaker, are being treated for cancer, have advanced osteoporosis, or have a serious illness, you should talk to your doctor first.
8. When applying it to someone else, you should have their consent and agree on a signal to stop. For children, use half the pressure and half the time, and consult a pediatrician.
9. Moxibustion (a lit mugwort stick) is not a home practice: there is a risk of burns, and it should only be done by a therapist.
10. You should seek immediate care if you notice the warning signs listed in each routine, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, a sudden and very severe headache, high fever, fainting, or loss of strength or feeling. In an emergency, call your local emergency number (in Brazil, 192, SAMU).
