Let Facial Acupressure Maintain Both Your Health And Your Looks
Facial acupressure is based on ancient Chinese acupuncture theory and practice and can be your ally in the fight against aging. Acupuncture and acupressure, dating over 5,000 years, has refined to what it is today. The primary way that acupuncture works is to regulate the flow and circulation of vital energy and blood throughout the body. By simply charting many points or pathways along the body, known as meridians, early practitioners of acupuncture believed they could affect illness by stimulating pressure points along these meridians. But did you know that doing facial acupressure can give you a natural facelift in as little as 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 common knowledge that acupuncture treatment uses the placement of micro needles along the meridians of the body. In acupressure, micro needles pressure is replaced by pressure from our own fingers.
As the skin on our faces is attached to underlying muscles, as we age, those muscles start losing tone and begin to sag. Since our facial skin is attached to those muscles, once those muscles begin sagging, so does the skin. When doing facial acupressure, you’re essentially strengthening the link between the skin and muscles, thereby tightening skin and its’ underlying muscle structure. 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. What you’re left with is a glowing and healthier looking complexion. Facial skin becomes noticeably tighter, more firm and toned. You also get to use your own hands, any place, anytime at your own convenience.
As if improving your facial appearance weren’t enough, facial acupressure also provides some rather amazing additional health benefits as well. Our faces have multiple acupressure points that are all connected to other parts of our bodies. When treating your face for appearance, using facial acupressure, you can also target specific pressure points to benefit other parts of your body as well.
The following is a partial list of some of the additional health benefits that facial acupressure has to offer:
There are multiple acupressure points at your temples. Massaging these points aids in relaxation and sleep regulation.
The forehead is also known for its multiple pressure points. Several of these points are known to reduce sinus pressure and congestion when stimulated.
All around the nostrils, there are points that ease congestion and help treat the common cold. Many of us are accustomed to massaging the bridges of our noses to alleviate stubborn headache symptoms.
On the curve of the bone right below the eyes, there are pressure points that can help normalize blood pressure as well as regulating it with regular acupressure treatment.
Did you know that facial acupressure can even help with your digestion? Try massaging or applying pressure to the top part of your cheekbones for help with digestion. Amazing.
As if that weren’t enough, did you know that there are facial acupressure points that correspond to your kidneys? Facial acupressure can actually help you alleviate symptoms of chronic urinary tract infections.
Were you aware that stimulating pressure points on your chin alleviates eye fatigue? Easy way to sharpen your vision.
Not only can you use facial acupressure for both cosmetic enhancement and relief of numerous ills, it’s time effective and involves very little cost.
The only downside I see to doing this kind of treatment is that to start, you’ll need to do you facial acupressure everyday for 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.
