People often scratch their heads with their fingers. It not only dredges the qi and blood in the brain, but also coordinates the functions of the internal organs throughout the body. In addition, there are many acupoints on the scalp, such as Shangxing, Baihui, Naohu, Qianding, Yuzhen, etc. Acupuncture at these acupoints can prevent and treat diseases. Although massaging these acupoints is not as intense as acupuncture, the area massaged is larger and the movements are gentle. It can also promote blood circulation and activate collaterals, and play a role in preventing and treating neurasthenia, headaches, insomnia, senile dementia, and forgetfulness. Therefore, it is important to scratch your head often when you have nothing to do, especially the elderly and those who do mental work.

In fact, the method of scalp massage is very simple and can be done anytime and anywhere. Just use your fingers to gently massage the skin of your head to achieve the massage effect, whether it is from front to back or from left to right. Generally, massage once in the morning and evening every day. However, it is best to control the strength when massaging, and do not use too much force to aggravate local pain.
