These are my non-negotiable acupoints for allergies and sinus congestion! Share these with anyone suffering from hayfever rnš
These classic āwind-clearingā points at the base of your skull are essential for any kind of congestionāwhether from allergies, a cold, or the flu. šTell me belowāare you dealing with hayfever right now? Whatās bothering you most and how can I help?
In clinic, we use acupuncture, medical-grade gua sha, cupping, and herbs to ease your hayfever misery. At home, you can use your Gua Sha tool to gently and regularly open these points and channels, just as Iāve shown here:
ā¢ Acupressure: Place the double tips of your tool (or your knuckles) at the base of your skull. Youāll naturally hit several key wind-clearing points. Circle clockwise for 1-2 minutes, then reverse and circle counterclockwise for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat on the other side.
ā¢ Gua Sha: Finish with long, steady strokes through the base of your skull (make sure to prep your skin with oil first!).
These acu-points clear wind invasion from the head. Now, wind is kind of a tricky concept for the Western mind to grasp. In the case of hayfever, wind is behind all that congestion, sneezing, and miserable itching. And in Spring, these symptoms come with excess heat in the system, so the combo of wind + heat blocks your energy channels.
To clear your symptoms, we need to open the channels in your headāusing key points along the Urinary Bladder, Gallbladder, and Du energy channels. This should have you feeling better, and if not right away - keep repeating this mini-protocol 1-3x day daily. And do let me know if this helps, or if you need more tips!
