What is acupressure?

Acupressure is often called acupuncture without needles. It involves the application of manual pressure (usually with the fingertips) to specific points on the body. According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, invisible pathways of energy called meridians flow within the body.

At least 14 internal pathways are thought to connect our organs with other parts of the body. Acupressure points lie along those meridians. If the flow of energy (also called "chi") is blocked at any point on a meridian, it's thought to cause various symptoms and health conditions anywhere along the meridian.

How does the acupressure massage work?

Facial acupressure involves applying pressure to specific points on the face, often using a rolling or circular motion. This helps stimulate and balance the flow of energy within the body, leading to improved skin health and complexion. Acupressure can also help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing from within.

What are some of the benefits of facial acupressure?

Facial acupressure can offer many advantages for skin health. Regular treatments may help reduce wrinkles, clear blemishes, combat swelling and puffiness, minimize dark circles, and increase overall radiance. Acupressure can also help promote lymphatic drainage, allowing toxins to be flushed from the system and helping skin look brighter and firmer. Facial acupressure is a natural and affordable way to improve your skin health and achieve a glowing complexion. This ancient practice can help:

• reduce inflammation
• minimize wrinkles
• clear blemishes

Include facial acupressure massage in your everyday skincare routine for best results. Be sure to use the correct techniques and pressure points to avoid any unintended side effects. With regular treatments, you can enjoy healthy, vibrant skin for years to come!

How does self-acupressure work?

Self-acupressure is typically done using the fingertips to apply pressure to facial acupressure points. It's important to be gentle when performing facial acupressure, as vigorous massage can cause skin irritation and other adverse effects. Pressure should not be applied for more than 10 seconds at a time in order to avoid any potential harm. Still, if it hurts a little at first, it's normal.

Before you begin, it's best to practice self-acupressure on a regular basis (at least once or twice a day) in order to get the most benefit. First, locate the acupressure points on your face and then apply pressure gently with your fingertips. Keep breathing deeply during this process and stay focused on the sensation. After a few seconds, you should be able to feel the pressure subsiding and your muscles beginning to relax. With regular practice, you can enjoy improved skin health in no time!

Acupressure massage for your eyes

Not only acupressure massage is a natural facelift that will relieve tension, reduce stress and help with painful headaches, it can also help with eye strain and other eye problems. Acupressure helps your eyes to relax and reduce strain, thereby improving vision and reducing symptoms of dry eyes. To practice acupressure massage for your eyes, begin by rubbing the area between your eyebrows in small circular movements. Move down towards the bridge of your nose, then move up again towards your temples. Afterward, place both of your fingers next to the outside corner of each eye, and massage in small circles. Move up towards the browbone, then back down towards the bridge of your nose. Repeat this process several times until you feel any tension being released.

Massage your eyes

The eyes are literally surrounded by pressure points. These points can be stimulated using acupressure to relieve eye strain. Acupressure massage used for eye strain is a simple and effective means to help move blood and oxygen to the tissues in and surrounding the eyes. Massaging the pressure point for the eyes is a technique you can use at home and on a daily basis.
