Acupressure Facial Massage

Facial troubles expose the specific and primary imbalances of Qi.



Facial beauty can be attained when the Qi restores its balance. Reflexology on the face or Acupressure Facial Massage helps to rejuvenate the face by activating the release of growth hormones.



The appearance of facial beauty is instantly associated to the levels of stress on the face, and in particular the head and neck muscles. The condition of facial muscular stress can be the outcome of definite habitual expressions as a reaction to tiredness of the eyes, migraines and headaches, sensitive and painful throat, nasal disorders, etc.



The neck acts as a signal for exhibiting the status of mind and body. In an acupressure facial massage, specific points on the head and face are utilized for retrieving the unbalance and the massage can thus repair a lot of problems such as shoulder neck release, wrinkles etc. In an acupressure facial massage the facial area is manipulated at over 50 energy pressure points in the face to let off stress, and prevent wrinkles. The aim of acupressure facial massage is to influence specifically and incisively with the facial meridians and acupoints to accomplish equilibrium in the complete facial arena comprising the skin and the facial muscles.

The acupressure facial massage is a coordinated sequence of western and eastern techniques employing the use of fluent and light stroking of the surface tissues in addition to tapping movements and deep-kneading with the fingers and knuckles to work the deeper musculature below the surface tissues with a variety of pressure techniques. Conjunctive tissue movements act upon the skim of the face to loosen up and freshen up the tissues. Inducing the acupressure points with the help of finger pressure is much efficient when the tissue is stimulated and the muscles along with the tissues are relaxed.

The Qi flow (also known as life force or bio-electricity in traditional Chinese medicine) is the ability to equalize the flow in the internal organs and accordingly balancing emotional and physical conditions. The face is used primarily for identifying the nature or cause of some phenomenon depending upon the condition of the Qi. Employing the use of acupressure points helps to develop and boost the Qi. When pressure is applied on to the acupressure points, specified or identified nerves in the body are stimulated that in turn causes the appearance of facial tissue to improve in addition to energizing the circulation of body fluids. The acupressure facial massage helps in releasing the blocked energy, and enhances the flow of oxygen, while cutting down stress and tension thus helping to smoothen out creases and crevices on the face. According to Chinese acupressure philosophy, certain pressure points when pressed on the face showed a greater flow rate of blood and oxygen to the facial area, which encourages the softening of wrinkles and tones sagging skin.
