Traditional Chinese Facial Exercises
Invigorate Your Face, Head & Neck
Chinese facial exercises are simple to do on yourself and others and are highly beneficial when done regularly. These are techniques that have been used by Chinese people for a very long time, because they are easy and they work.
They can be applied in several ways, for various reasons:
1. To enhance your facial appearance by relaxing and toning your facial muscles and improving local blood flow. Face massage, either doing it on yourself, or preferably done by someone else is incredibly relaxing and revitalizing. Getting a body massage here in China always includes your face and head.
2. To relieve common head and face problems like headache, insomnia, nasal congestion, sinusitis and sore eyes. Learn a few common acupressure points and help yourself next time you have a headache or stuffy nose, etc,
3. As a preventative therapy for the above kinds of problems. Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasises prevention over cure. If you often have problems like headache, sore eyes, blocked nose, etc, don’t wait till they come back to start doing something, learn some of the self-help techniques below and do them daily so as to hopefully prevent the problem returning.
The self-help methods include face massage and acupressure techniques, especially around the eyes, ears and nose, and gentle stretching exercises targeting, for example, the throat and front part of the neck.
