Benefits of Acupressure Facial During a Holistic Facial Treatment.
Did you know? That 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!
Facial acupressure can be performed by a massage therapist
By pressing certain meridian/reflex points in the face, not only are there benefits to the facial area but for the whole body – a great bonus:
For the face…
Improvement of muscular tone and facial contours, including the area between the nose and mouth (specifically a problem for smokers)
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, nose bleeds and eye strain
Reduction of facial spasms, tics for example( a habitual spasmodic contraction of the muscles, most often in the face)
For the body…
Balancing energy levels and general flow of Chi
Eases stress and feelings of anxiety
Improved sleep and feeling of well-being
Correction of hunger and appetite issues
