Based on ancient Chinese acupuncture practice, facial acupressure can be your ally in the fight against aging. Acupuncture and acupressure, dating over 5,000 years, has refined to what it is today. Acupuncture works in such a way as to regulate the vital energy and blood flow and circulation throughout the body. Early acupuncture practicioners knew that by charting and stimulating the many pressure points or meridians in the body that they could positively affect illness. Did you also know that by doing facial acupressure that you can give yourself a natural facelift in 30 days or less?
There are a total of 14 meridians or pathways in all of our bodies each corresponding to an individual body organ. When the vital energy that we all have in our bodies flows freely, we are believed to be in good health. On the other hand, when we experience pain or illness, it is thought that there is a blockage of the vital energy flow.
It’s commonly known that acupuncture treatment involves placing micro needles along the meridians of the body. In acupressure, micro needles pressure is replaced by pressure from our own fingers.
Our facial skin is attached to the underlying facial muscles and as a result, as we age, those facial muscles begin to lose tone and start sagging. Since our skin is attached to those facial muscles, once the muscles sag, so does the facial skin. The good news is that as you stimulate the pressure points in your face with acupressure, you’re strengthening the link between the skin and muscles at the same time. The results are improved facial tone, increased facial blood circulation and tightened skin.
Doing facial acupressure on a regular basis not only transforms facial contours but also improves skin texture. The end result is a glowing, younger looking and healthier complexion. Your facial appearance becomes noticeably more firmed and toned. As if getting a natural facelift with no side effects weren’t enough, you also simply use your own hands, anytime, anyplace at your convenience.
Aside from relaxing you, facial acupressure comes with some rather unexpected health benefits to boot. There are many acupressure points in all of our faces that correspond directly to our internal organs. When doing facial acupressure, you also get to target specific pressure points that will benefit other areas of your body as well.
Here is a short list of some of the additional health benefits offered by doing facial acupressure:
There are multiple acupressure points at your temples. Massaging these points can both help you relax and sleep better.
Our foreheads are also known to have multiple pressure points to attend to. Several of these points help reduce sinus buildup.
You’ll also find pressure points all around the nostrils that ease congestion and can also help treat the common cold. Most of us are already familiar with massaging the bridge of our nose which can help alleviate the most stubborn headaches.
Are you aware that there are pressure points on the curve of the bone right below the eyes that can help regulate blood pressure?
Did you know that facial acupressure can even help with your digestion? If your stomach is upset, try massaging the top part of your cheeks to faciliate digestion. Amazing.
Facial acupressure points also exist that correspond directly to your kidneys. Facial acupressure can actually help you alleviate symptoms of chronic urinary tract infections.
Did you know that stimulating the acupressure points on your chin can help relieve any eye fatigue you’re experiencing? Easy way to sharpen your vision.
From all that, it’s more than clear that facial acupuncture offers both cosmetic and health benefits as well as being convenient and inexpensive.
To start doing facial acupressure, it’s recommended to do treatments for the first 30 days. After you complete that first 30 days, however, you’ll only need to do treatments a few times a week for facial maintenance.
