What to do about hair loss? Press the “hair-generating point” frequently

Hot weather and strong ultraviolet rays will hinder blood circulation in the scalp, affect healthy hair growth and cause hair loss. To this end, the Japanese "Women's Hair Growth Lecture" website introduced the "anti-hair loss" acupressure massage method. Masayoshi Koyama, an acupuncture masseur at the Koyama Osteopathic Clinic in Ubemuro, Japan, said that certain acupoints have the effect of promoting blood circulation in the scalp. Through massage stimulation, it can increase blood flow to the scalp and deliver more nutrients for hair growth, thereby preventing hair loss.

Overhead

The Baihui point, located in the depression in the center of the top of the head, can prevent hair loss caused by various reasons and has a refreshing effect. Put the tips of your index and middle fingers together and press vertically downward. If the pain is severe, just use the tip of the middle finger of one hand to press. Be sure to trim your nails beforehand to avoid breaking the skin.

Behind the ear tip

Massaging the Jiaosun point behind the ear, which is level with the tip of the ear, can help promote blood circulation. You can press lightly with the tip of your thumb. When pressing the acupoints on both sides at the same time, be careful not to press too hard.

Behind the earlobe

Press the Yifeng point on the head at the same level as the earlobe with the ball of your thumb. This can not only promote blood flow to the head, but also prevent and treat problems such as heaviness of the head, headache, and dizziness. Be careful not to press too hard.

Back of neck

Fengchi point is located at the back of the neck, under the back of the skull, in the depression on the outer edges of two large tendons, which is level with the earlobe. Pressing this point can quickly improve blood flow from the neck to the head. You can use the tips of your thumbs to push upwards on the acupoints with moderate force until you feel a sore and swollen feeling; if your fingers are not strong enough, you can tilt your neck back to make it easier to apply force.

Inside of elbow

Shaohai point, located at the end of the inner horizontal line of the elbow joint, helps improve cardiopulmonary function, promote blood flow to the head and scalp metabolism. When pressing, straighten your arm, press with the tip of the thumb of your other hand, and pinch the elbow joint with the other four fingers.

Note: The best time to press is after taking a shower at night. At this time, the muscles are relaxed, blood circulation is improved, and the pressing effect is good. Avoid pressing on an empty or full stomach. When massaging, you should use 80% force and massage for 1 to 3 minutes each time. Do it according to your ability and do not feel any discomfort. Exhale slowly when pressing down, and inhale slowly when releasing your fingertips, which will help improve the pressing effect.
