Instructions:
1. Large Intestine 20 – “Welcome Fragrance”
Start with acupressure at LI20. Gently circle clockwise 10–30x (or longer if congestion is intense), then switch directions and circle counterclockwise. If it feels tender, that’s likely pressure from stagnation—so lean into the release.
2. Move up slowly
While massaging upward along the side of your nose, pause on any tender spots. Think of it like breaking up congestion as you work your way toward the brow.
3. Urinary Bladder 2 – “Gathered Bamboo”
Once you reach the inner brow point (UB2), apply acupressure circles here too—10–30x in each direction. This one is often tender but deeply calming once you soften it. Notice how your whole nervous system responds?
4. Gua Sha Across the Cheekbone
Using your knuckles or a Gua Sha tool, stroke from the side of your nose along the cheekbone toward the top of your ear. Do this 10–30x, or more if congestion is stubborn—or it just feels really good.
✨ How’s your sinus congestion now?
💬 Drop a comment if you felt a shift—or if you noticed anything else. And if not, try doing each step longer or repeat this again in an hour or two.
There are so many acupoints on your body that help relieve congestion—and these two are some of the best on your face. That means you can activate them while you’re cleansing, hydrating, or moisturizing. Double whammy!
