FACIAL PRESSURE POINTS

Pressure Point 1: In Between Your Eyes

• This point is located above the bridge of the nose, in between your eyebrows (where you feel the ridges of the eyebrows come together).

• Press this point or tap it for approximately one minute.

• This pressure point: • Helps the mucus secrete properly, preventing the

sinuses from drying and becoming inflamed; • Is a great for preventing colds and rhinitis. • Helps you get a good night’s sleep! Use a small

plastic or glass bead and tape it to this point. It helps you calm down and drift off to sleep.

• Can also help to relieve pressure in the frontal sinuses.

Pressure Point 2: Either Side of the Nostrils

• Located just to the side of the nostril, press both sides down simultaneously. It will help the sinuses drain more effectively. It also helps relieve pain found behind the cheeks.

• Use two fingers and press against these points with your fingers at 90 degrees to the face.
