Eastern Facial Acupressure 

 

​The ancient Chinese treatment of acupressure has been practiced and perfected for over 5000 years. In simple terms, it was discovered that by pressing certain points of the body, pain or disease were alleviated – and often in regions of the body remote from the pain or pressure point!

 

By pressing certain meridian/reflex points in the face, not only are there benefits to the facial area but for the whole body: 

For the face…

• Stimulation of circulation and nutrient flow to the facial skin

• Promotes an effective lymphatic flow and removal of toxins

• Glowing and healthier-looking complexion due to improved skin oxygen levels

• Soothing of forehead wrinkles, creases between the brows and ‘crows feet’

• Alleviation of sinus problems and improvement of air flow – may help tinnitus

• Reduction of puffiness around the eyes and eye strain

• Reduction of facial spasms, tics and twitches

For the body…

• Balancing energy levels and general flow of Chi

• Eases stress and feelings of anxiety

• Improved sleep and feeling of well-being

• Reduction in pain associated with migraine
