Needing pressure point anatomy information for sleep, adhd, tourettes.

Question

I am looking into magnotherapy for someone who suffers from sleepwalking, insomnia, add/adhd, tourettes and depression. I can't find any online printable (free) charts to help me. The only one I found was one that showed one for insomnia in the index finger and one for the anxiety in the ear. Are there any resources out there I have missed? Sleep is the most of their concerns, followed by add/adhd, depression, and ticks. The tick are facial winking with an open mouth and snapping fingers. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Hello Tammy:

I was a special ed teacher. I met many parents and guardians often look for alternative therapies to help their children cope with insomnia, add/adhd, and/or Tourett syndrome. I am not sure what kind of "charts" you are looking for regarding magnotherapy. I have found a couple of references that may help you understand better how magnotherapy may help with the involuntary muscle spasms in his/her face.
