Rejuvenating self-massage for face and body: Vietnamese acupressure massage

Do you know what facial reflexology is? It turns out that this is healing the body using the ancient Vietnamese method using points that are on our face. I studied this method in my spare time. It turned out to be easy to use and effective in action.

Among the many points located on our face, I found the so-called beauty points, by acting on which you can smooth out fine wrinkles, improve complexion and skin condition.

Another advantage of this acupressure massage is that you can do it yourself perfectly.(suddenly your friend, with whom you gave each other a cosmetic massage, went on vacation).

By massaging the seven beauty points (Fig. 15), you will not only smooth out wrinkles on your face, but also achieve ideal health.

Point 1

This point is located in front of the ear. In most cases, it is easier to massage the entire area in front of the ear with vertical movements: from top to bottom if you want to relax and calm down, and from bottom to top if you want to invigorate.

A massage session usually begins from this point if you are very tired and want to relieve tension. This point usually ends the procedure. Point massage also has a powerful regulating effect on all body functions.

Massaging this point will help: tone facial muscles, relax nervous system, normalize blood pressure, stimulate digestion, relieve symptoms of a runny nose, improve immunity, increase sexual energy.

Point 2

Stimulating blood circulation in the nasolabial part of the face. This point is responsible for the heart, lungs, nose, liver, stomach, lower abdomen. Massaging the point will help normalize blood circulation in the nasolabial part of the face and thereby prevent the formation of deep nasolabial folds.

Also, the correct influence on the point of necessity: will lower blood pressure, increase vital energy, relieve abdominal pain, and have a tonic effect on the heart.

This point is also known as the fainting rescue point.

Point 3

The third point will help reduce eyebrow wrinkles. She's also responsible for the cervical vertebrae, throat, maxillary sinuses, pituitary gland.

This is the third eye point. It calms the excited nervous system and can also activate nervous processes with active stimulation. The impact on the point has a calming effect on the psyche as a whole.

Contraindications: Do not act on this point if you have hypotension!

Point 4

Stimulating these points will also help smooth out wrinkles between the eyebrows and prevent their occurrence.

The points are responsible for the eyes, optic nerves, and heart. ABOUT They will not help relax your nervous system and normalize sleep if you have insomnia.

Point 5

It will help normalize and stimulate blood circulation in the forehead skin. It is also responsible for the eyes, spine and liver. This point is important for strengthening memory, helping to regulate hormones and stimulate the chakras.

In addition to the beneficial cosmetic effect on your forehead, this point will help improve memory, relax the body, increase tone, regulate energy, and reduce pain in the crown and back.

Point 6

Just like the previous one, it will improve the condition of the forehead skin. It is responsible for the spine, tailbone, nose and brain. Stimulation of this point and the area located at the roots of the hair quickly and effectively reduces pain in the lumbar region.

By influencing this point, you can increase blood pressure, eliminate headaches and pain in the tailbone.

Contraindications: Do not stimulate the point if you have hypertension!

Point 7

This point normalizes blood supply to the lower part of the face. She is responsible for the small intestine and uterus.

The point can be stimulated not only for cosmetic purposes, but also in cases of painful menstruation, initial stage diarrhea.

Basics of acupressure self-massage

You need to carry out acupressure self-massage calmly, slowly, focusing on your feelings.

Stimulation of the points occurs with the help of fingers, as well as a pencil, ballpoint pen, - in general, any convenient object that has a fairly narrow and rounded tip. If you use your fingers for massage, then perform it with a bent thumb or the tips of your index, middle, and ring fingers.

There are many massage movements to stimulate the points, but the most common are circular movements, especially on hard parts of the face such as the forehead and other bony areas.

For proper massage, you need to take a comfortable position. During the massage, the wrist or ring finger and little finger right hand It is advisable to keep it on your face constantly. This kind of stop will help you avoid slipping your fingers or tools.

Massage in areas up to the level of the lower eyelid is most conveniently carried out using the wrist as a support, and when stimulating points located above the bridge of the nose, movements are easier to control with the ring and little fingers.

To relax, massage from top to bottom, that is, from the forehead to the chin.

To increase tone, massage your face from bottom to top, from the chin towards the forehead.

Relaxing massage

1. Start the massage from point b, which is located above the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead. With your left hand, free your forehead from hair. Using the index and middle fingers of your right hand, rub this point horizontally with wide movements, gradually increasing the pressure. Do 20 movements.

2. Go to point 4, which is located at the base of the eyebrows. Massage this point with the same wide movements 20 times, gradually moving along the entire length of the eyebrows. Press hard enough!

4. Finish the relaxing massage at point 1, which is located in front of the ear. Rub it vigorously 20 times in a vertical direction, covering the entire area in front of the ear. Note: Please note that these points are located on the face in a certain sequence - in the form of a bowl; perhaps this association will help you better remember their location.

Toning massage

1. Start the massage from point 8, located at the top of the chin. Stroke her from top to bottom 20 times.

2. After this, massage point 2, which is located under the nose, in the center. Stroke her vigorously from top to bottom.

3. Continue the massage at point 5, located in the center of the forehead. Stimulate her by stroking her from top to bottom 20 times.

4. Go to point 7 - it is located at the top of the forehead, at the base of the parting. Do 20 vigorous movements from top to bottom.

5. The toning massage ends with stimulation of point 1.

Note: Please note that the toning massage points are concentrated on one vertical axis.

Gentle massage (around the eyes)

This type of massage is the most gentle, since the skin around the eyes is very thin. In this regard, massage in the area around the eyes is done with extreme caution.

To improve the gliding of fingertips Before the massage, apply a nourishing cream or special aroma oil to the area around the eyes.

1. Start the massage with stroking, which is performed with the pads of all fingers except the thumb. Direct the movement from the bridge of the nose, then following the outline of the eyebrows to the temples. Then move your fingertips in the same way from the inner corners of your eyes to your temples, being careful not to stretch the skin.

2. Continue the massage in the same directions, but using the technique of tapping with the tips of the index, middle, and ring fingers.

3. Use your thumb and forefinger to take your eyebrow and move from the bridge of your nose to your temple along the eyebrow with light “pinching” movements. This will help improve blood circulation in the upper eyelid.

4. Place your index fingers on the sides of the bridge of your nose. Apply gentle pressure to these points, then move along the bottom line of the eye sockets.

5. Gather your fingers tightly together, place them on your temples, fix them at one point, and massage with light rotational movements.

6. The massage ends with stroking.

Note: if the massage is performed correctly, you should have a slight blush and improve skin color. published.
