How to massage the acupuncture points on the head

Everyone generally recognizes the health-care function of head massage, but in the specific operation process, many of us are not very familiar with the acupoints of head massage. Because there are many meridians and acupoints distributed on the head, if the operation is wrong, it may lead to the occurrence of other diseases. Therefore, before performing the operation, we should consult a professional doctor to achieve the best health-care effect.

Finding the accurate acupoints on the head is very important for the massage effect. First, open the Tianmen, push the Kan Palace, rub the Taiyang, and rub the Gaogu together. These are called the four methods of head massage. They are often used for headaches, mild colds, fever, sweating, etc., and are also used for routine health massage. Opening the Heaven Gate is commonly known as "opening the Heaven Eye", which has the effects of refreshing the brain, improving eyesight and increasing intelligence.

Open the gate of heaven. Use the thumbs of both hands to push alternately from the center of the eyebrows to the front hairline, once or twice a day. Opening the Tianmen can dispel wind and relieve exterior symptoms, open the orifices and refresh the brain, and calm the mind. It is often used for symptoms such as fever caused by exogenous factors, headache, etc. If you are nervous, uneasy, and restless, you can use it together with clearing the gallbladder meridian and rubbing Baihui.

Rub the sun. The depression between the tip of the eyebrow and the outer canthus of the eye, about one finger width backward, is the temple. This method can be divided into tonifying and purging. Use the ribbed surface of the middle fingers of both hands or the ribbed surface of the thumbs of both hands to rub in circles from bottom to front and then upward to backward for tonification, and push straight from front to back for drainage, which is called pushing the sun. Once or twice a day, 30 to 50 times each time. The tonifying method can be used for exogenous fever, headache, convulsion, eye diseases, it can also eliminate fatigue, calm the mind and strengthen the brain, and it has a good effect on migraine. The purgation method is used for headache caused by external factors, and pushing Taiyang is mainly used for fever caused by external factors.

Rub the high bones. Behind the ear, at the hairline, is the high bone behind the ear, slightly above the depression below the posterior edge of the mastoid process, which is equivalent to the Fengchi point. Use the thumbs of both hands to press the two points and rub in circles, once or twice a day, 30 to 50 times each time. It is used for headaches, headaches caused by colds, convulsions, and irritability.

Of course, there are more methods of head massage than those mentioned above. These are just the more common ones in daily life. We can also make targeted changes according to different human conditions and physical conditions. In addition, when performing a head massage, there should also be certain changes in your diet and lifestyle habits. For example, the diet must be kept light, and in terms of lifestyle habits, do not stay up late, and make sure to get enough sleep every day.
