Acupuncture and biologically active points

The main acupuncture points on the body are located along energy channels. If they are irritated, a signal is sent, which, passing through the channel, reaches a specific organ. It is carried out according to the same principle.

A biologically active point in the pit above the upper lip is responsible for removing toxins, which is why the skin, along with the rest of the body, heals. But the point in the middle of the forehead is associated with the pituitary gland and hormonal metabolism. The line leading from the corners of the lips along the cheekbones affects the work of the muscles, the points at the base of the ears affect the blood supply to the tissues.

Indications for use

Who needs acupressure sessions? Women and men facing problems such as:

various mental disorders;
the presence of malignant tumors;

Types of acupressure

Japanese (Shiatsu)

Young technology compared to others. Shiatsu means “to press with fingers” in Japanese. Toukiro Nakamoshi, who invented the technique, studied local manual effects on certain parts of the body for many years, and now not only Eastern, but also European women can benefit from the experience accumulated over years of research.

Pressing on acupuncture points is useful because it most effectively activates internal energy, awakening our skin and muscles. Shiatsu is suitable for any skin and is performed slowly, starting from the forehead and moving to the scalp. Next comes the effect on the cheekbones and nose, moving from the wings to the temporal areas. The last ones to massage are the ears and lower jaw, paying special attention to the chin. It is advisable to conduct the session in the morning and evening, devoting 6 seconds to each of the active points on the face to rejuvenate those areas where you want to achieve this.

Chinese (Guasha)

Guasha is translated from Chinese as “scraping out the bad.” This method is aimed primarily at removing toxins, waste and external contaminants. With its help, muscles relax and skin drainage improves, facial expressions become more mobile, lymph circulation accelerates, due to which chronic swelling gradually disappears.

Reviews

Due to a busy schedule, I constantly felt overwhelmed, it was difficult to fall asleep and wake up in the morning, which only made my fatigue worse. The reflection in the mirror also did not add to the mood, but this is my job - with people, in sight all the time. If my friend hadn’t given me a certificate for a Tibetan massage, I don’t know what I would have done. This is the case when change, one might say, is evident...

Ekaterina Kot, 28 years old, Omsk

For many years now I have been working on my feet all day, I can’t rest, but in Lately Headaches have been added, apparently time is taking its toll. A colleague, seeing my suffering, recommended a massage with Thai herbs, saying that you won’t be able to suppress the pain forever with medications. I consulted with a therapist, had three sessions - and what do you think? And my head doesn’t bother me, and the extra energy came from somewhere, as if by magic.

Biologically active points on the face are special areas that are responsible for the functioning of certain systems and organs of the body and reflect their work. Stimulating these points can tidy up the body, smooth out wrinkles and prolong youth. In this publication we will talk about acupuncture, thermal and vacuum effects on active points of the face, and consider the features acupressure Zhong and Japanese shiatsu, as well as Indian marmatherapy.

Facial zones

Different areas of the face are responsible for certain organs and systems of the body. Irritation, peeling, rashes and other skin imperfections in a certain area indicate possible problems in organism.

The face is roughly divided into the following zones:

area around the eyes;
cheeks;
nose and bridge of the nose;
chin.

The forehead is responsible for genitourinary system. If rashes, peeling or excessive wrinkles are regularly observed on the forehead, then it is worth checking the genitourinary system for the presence of dysfunctions.

Specifically, the upper part of the forehead indicates a problem in the large intestine. If acne is constantly observed in this area, this indicates severe intoxication of the body, caused by alcohol, smoking or other toxic substances. If irritation is observed in the temporal lobe, check the liver and gallbladder.

The ear area is connected to the kidneys. Constant flaking, black spots, excessive amounts of sebum on the ears are evidence of problems with these organs. If you also experience an increase blood pressure, worsening blood pressure, constant weakness and shortness of breath, do not delay going to the doctor.

The area around the eyes is also associated with the kidneys, plus it can reveal problems with digestive system. Constant dark circles, for example, are a reason to think about it and get examined by a gastroenterologist.

The cheeks are connected to the lungs, so the frequent appearance of spots, irritations and rashes indicates problems with the respiratory system. If the irritations are localized closer to the temporal region, then this indicates a problem with the cardiovascular system.

The nose area is connected to the heart, and the bridge of the nose is connected to the pancreas. The chin is responsible for the reproductive organs: the uterus, the prostate gland.

What are the dots on the face responsible for?

Identifying problems is half the battle. To eliminate them using acupressure on the face, you need to know where which points of the face are and what they are responsible for. Accuracy is important here: if you act on the wrong point, you will get a completely different effect. Therefore, first of all, remember the location of all biologically active points and find them on your face.

To avoid mistakes, it is better to refer to a visual diagram:

The main points of influence are:

The pituitary point, also called the “third eye,” is located in the middle of the forehead, slightly above the eyebrows. Exposure to it stimulates blood supply to the frontal part of the brain, which in turn helps restore vision and stimulates the pituitary gland, which regulates endocrine processes in the body.
Two paired points on the walls of the nose, located in the corners of the eyes, are called “points of youth.” They improve vision.
Two paired points on the wings of the nose are located a centimeter from each wing. Their stimulation improves the sense of smell, helps with colds, helps fight viruses and even improves the condition of teeth.
The point in the middle of the chin is responsible for removing toxins.
Two points located on the temples help improve vision, stimulate blood supply to the brain and spinal cord and relieve tension from nearby muscles.
Paired points located near the tragus of the ear are easy to feel if you open your mouth: the point is located in the formed hole. Their stimulation helps relieve tension in the masticatory muscles, improves hearing and the functioning of the vestibular apparatus.

Types of impact on BAP

There are different techniques for influencing BAP (biologically active points) depending on the result you want to achieve. Depending on the goal pursued - prolongation of youth and general improvement of the body - you need to choose the most suitable method for yourself. It is important to understand that these two goals are inextricably linked, therefore, regardless of the chosen method, the final result usually includes both points.

Below is a list of methods used to influence BAP:

acupuncture;
thermal effects;
vacuum effect;
acupressure.

Acupuncture

The acupuncture method involves inserting needles under the skin. A needle with a small diameter is inserted under the skin exactly at a biologically active point. This method allows you to improve the functioning of body systems and restore health. At the same time, it significantly improves the condition of the face, replacing many salon procedures.

In cosmetology, there is a whole direction for facial rejuvenation -. The method is considered effective and safe and can successfully replace surgical lifting.

A separate method of electroacupuncture is distinguished: a weak electrical impulse is applied to the tip of the needle. When exposed to different points pulses of different durations are used.

It is important to understand that acupuncture requires skill, precision and experience. Therefore, when deciding to use this method, we recommend that you contact only a trusted specialist.

Thermal impact

This method involves exposure to heat source points. There is a contact and a distant method - in the first, a direct effect is applied to the point, in the second, the heat source does not directly touch the skin.

Here also great value has the skill of a specialist, since if you do not calculate the duration of exposure, you can get burns. However, some types of thermal effects can be carried out independently: for example, massage with hot bags is a Thai procedure that removes toxins from the body, strengthens and rejuvenates the skin.

Vacuum effect

Surely everyone was given cans in childhood. Vacuum facial treatments work on approximately the same principle. Vacuum facial massage affects both the surface of the skin and the inner layer of subcutaneous fat. This method smoothes and rejuvenates the skin, normalizes metabolism, accelerates cell regeneration, tightens pores and improves general form faces.

Zhong acupressure massage

Asian massage techniques are used all over the world for facial rejuvenation. One of them is the Chinese Zhong finger massage, which uses three fingers: thumb, index and middle. By using your fingers on points on your face to rejuvenate, you can completely transform your appearance skin. There are two types of this massage: soothing and tonic.

When carrying out a soothing massage, pressure is applied to the point continuously with a gradual increase in the pressure level. As soon as the pressure reaches the maximum (it should not be too strong so as not to cause pain), the finger is released and the procedure is repeated from the beginning. This is repeated 3-4 times, and the total session time is 3-7 minutes.

In a tonic massage, everything is done the other way around: short and strong pressure, after which the finger sharply moves away from the face. The main thing is not to press too hard, you should not experience pain.

The general technique of execution is as follows. The impact begins from points located on the temples. At the same time, stroke the forehead with the index and middle fingers: first up, then to the side. Then, continuing to massage the points on the temples, stroking the eyebrows is done: from the bridge of the nose to the temples. After this, leaving the thumbs on the temples, the index and middle fingers massage the inner and outer corners of the eyes, and then the lower and upper eyelids.

Next, the thumbs move to the outer corners of the eyes, massaging them towards the temples. Then the points on the wings of the nose, at its base and under it are rubbed. Next, move to the temporal lobes again, this time with the index and middle fingers, massaging in a circular motion. Next, massage the cheeks in the direction from the cheekbones to the neck.

It all ends with a light tap of the fingers on the face. Finally, you need to rub your face with your palms to generate heat. This completes the massage.

Japanese shiatsu massage

Shiatsu massage is both a diagnostic method and a means of treatment. By pressing on the point, an experienced specialist will be able to tell by its rigidity or elasticity whether everything is normal with this or that organ. Impact on the points of the face with the help of shiatsu massage can improve the condition of the body and rejuvenate the face. In addition, it helps with:

insomnia;
headaches;
chronic fatigue;
nervous tics;
colds.

Then there is a point under the lower lip, and after it the fingers move to the temporal lobes. At the end of the session, points near the ears are massaged.

During a shiatsu massage, the effect is performed with short and light pressure – 5-7 seconds. There should be no pain, the maximum you can feel is light electric discharge throughout the body. This is normal and indicates that you hit the mark correctly.

This massage can be performed independently. The technique of performing Japanese facial massage is presented in the following video tutorial:

Indian marmatherapy

In Indian massage, biologically active points located on the face are called marmas - hence interesting name. In marmatherapy, massage is performed in a circular motion clockwise and counterclockwise. The arms are parallel to each other. The cycle starts with a small circle and gradually increases in size. There are 5 expanding and 5 contracting circles in the cycle - each is repeated three times.
