If you want to sleep well, just massage one spot

Wanting to sleep but not being able to sleep is a very painful thing. Not only does it affect the next day's work and study, but it can also easily lead to biological clock disorders, organ dysfunction, and cause a series of diseases in the long run. If you are often troubled by insomnia, you can press the Baihui point, which can help you sleep well.

Long-term clinical research in traditional Chinese medicine has shown that massaging the Baihui acupoint can improve insomnia and improve sleep quality.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the pathological changes of insomnia are due to imbalance of yin and yang, and disorder of qi and blood. The head is the meeting point of all yang. All the essence of blood from the five internal organs and the clear yang qi from the six bowels all converge in the head. The Baihui point is located on the top of the head, deeply connected to the brain marrow, and can receive the Qi of heaven and earth. It belongs to the Du meridian, and flows through the body's Qi and blood. At the same time, Baihui acupoint is yang in nature, and has yin within yang, so it can reach the yin and yang meridians and connect the meridians throughout the body. It also plays a very important role in regulating the body's yin and yang balance. Therefore, frequently pressing the Baihui point can clear the mind and brain, promote qi and blood circulation, and is very helpful in treating insomnia.

The specific operation method is to first find the correct location of Baihui acupoint - on the midline of the head, that is, in the center of the top of the head.

Before massaging the acupoints, relax your whole body and lie on your back with your eyes closed. Then use the outer side of your right thumb or the palm of your right hand to massage the Baihui point in a clockwise direction for 3-5 minutes, once every night before going to bed. At the same time, put aside distracting thoughts and silently count the number of massages in your mind, which will help you fall asleep faster.

In addition, moxibustion on the Baihui acupoint also has a significant hypnotic effect. The method is to hang a clean moxa stick on the Baihui acupoint for 10-15 minutes before going to bed every night. Generally, you will feel sleepy 5-15 minutes after moxibustion. This method not only improves sleep, but also effectively improves many accompanying symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, palpitations, and forgetfulness. If you stick to the above two methods for a long time, you can improve blood circulation in the head and effectively promote sleep.
