Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing art that uses pressure points on the body to promote relaxation and wellbeing. It is said to be helpful for a wide range of conditions, including headaches, stress, anxiety and pain relief.
There are many pressure points on the face that can be stimulated with acupressure. The most popular ones are located on the forehead, between the eyebrows and at the temples. You can use your fingers or a small tool to apply pressure to these points.
Start by gently massaging your forehead with your fingertips or using a circular motion with your fingertips in small circles. You can then move down to between your eyebrows and massage this point for a minute or two. To stimulate the points at your temples, use your thumb and index finger to apply gentle pressure in a circular motion.
If you are new to acupressure, it is best to start slowly and increase the pressure gradually as you become more comfortable with it. Remember to breathe deeply as you massage each point and focus on relaxing both physically and mentally.
