Head massage techniques

Use your palms to massage your forehead, starting with light force and gradually increasing the force for 1 to 2 minutes.

When you wake up in the morning or when you are tired from work, you might as well take a few minutes to massage yourself, which will be more conducive to mental recovery.

2. Massage the temples

Use the base of both palms or thenar eminence to massage the sideburns on both sides from front to back, passing through the temples, and then from the back to below the Fengchi points on both sides of the neck. Repeat the massage for 1 to 2 minutes. Then use 2 to 5 fingers to massage your temples several times. This massage technique can improve blood circulation in the head, regulate the nerve function of the head, and is effective in relieving fatigue and improving facial beauty.

3. Comb your hair

Spread the five fingers of both hands naturally, and then comb your hair repeatedly from front to back and from the center to both sides in the same way as combing your hair. It should be noted that some people have long nails. During the hair combing and massaging process, you should try to use less direct nails to comb the hair, and use the surface of the fingertips more to massage gently to give the scalp a satisfactory massage effect.

Repeating this exercise for 1 to 2 minutes can increase blood supply to the scalp, improve blood circulation in the brain, make the scalp healthier, and make the hair black and shiny.

4. Press the three meridians

Using the middle finger as the main point, start from the forehead and press the acupoints of the Du meridian in sequence until the Dazhui point. Then use the middle fingers of both hands to start from the Zanzhu point and press the acupoints of the Bladder meridian in sequence until the neck. Repeatedly press the point three times to clear the brain and relieve pain.

5. Rub your scalp

Touch your scalp with the palms of your fingers or your entire palms, and rub it in circles with both hands alternately, gradually increasing the intensity of the technique from light to heavy, and rub repeatedly for 1 to 2 minutes. This massage technique can dilate the blood vessels in the scalp, increase the temperature, and improve blood circulation in the brain. But be careful not to use too much force if hair is falling out.
