A 3 Minute Acupressure Routine for Allergies

Are your allergies acting up? Many of our patients are reporting worse symptoms this year and some are even experiencing allergies for the first time. Try this three-minute acupressure routine to get relief!

1) Bi Tong - this point is located on each side of the nose in center of the nasiolabial fold (the little indentation on the side of your nose). Push on both sides with your index fingers and then gently pull outward and upward, while taking deep breaths through your nose. Do this for 30-60 seconds. Ahhhh... feel your airways opening? 

2) Hegu - this point is located in the meaty part of tissue between your thumb and pointer finger. Use the opposite pointer finger and thumb to pinch the area. Find a tender spot and hold the pressure for 30-60 seconds.

3) Zan Zhu - this point is located at the inner eyebrow in the orbital bone. Feel for a small notch with your pointer finger, and then massage in a circular motion for 30-60 seconds.

Finally, if you have peppermint oil, dab a tiny amount on all 3 points, as well as just under your nostrils to clear your sinuses. 

We have some amazing treatments for allergy relief including cupping, acupuncture and herbal medicine. Book an appointment today to get a personalized treatment plan to get to the root of your allergy symptoms.
