Can Acupressure Reduce The Signs Of Aging And Wrinkles?

You can achieve facial enhancement with acupressure! Acupressure is probably one of the most common as well as the most accepted Chinese natural treatment for facial enhancement available today.

Acupressure can help to turn back the hands of time, so to speak and uses the same principles as acupuncture, but replacing the needles used in acupuncture with pressure applied from the hands and fingertips.

Acupressure can be used to correct internal balances, which can lead to facial wrinkles, sagging and discoloration as well as dark circles and bags under the eyes

Acupressure can help to achieve facial enhancement in many different ways. It helps your body to regulate the free flow of Qi and blood and to facilitate nutrient absorption.

It also encourages lymph drainage and it enhances the skin’s ability to breathe. Acupressure stimulates your skin’s ability for collagen production and softens the skin, smoothing wrinkles and promoting secretion from the sweat and oil glands. It also regulates and stimulates internal organ system function while promoting muscle contraction.

Below is a five minutes acupressure workout to smooth wrinkles and to firm up the face:

Begin at the Yin Tang point using the thumbs, and stroke bilaterally to Tai Yang. Repeat 3 times.

With the pads of the thumb, move from Tai Yang to SJ21, SI 19, and GB2, using direct digital pressure on each point 2 to 3 times (Fig.1).

Using 3 inner fingers of both hands to massage the occipital line on the back of the neck from middle towards outside for 30 seconds with circular motion, making sure to cover the points Du16, Bl9, Gb20, Anmian, and SJ17.
