Reach out and grab this thing and a miracle will happen

There are many nerve endings and tissues on the human scalp. Regular massage and stimulation of these acupoints is very helpful for people's health. When you are too tired from work, scratching your head can help you clear your mind. Let’s look at the steps of head massage with the editor below.

Hand-grabbing head massage: regulate skin secretion and relieve fatigue

Specific operation method:

Palms facing inward, fingers spread out as if scratching an itch. When grabbing, close your eyes, calm your mind, and relax your body. Start by grabbing the hair on the forehead, from front to back, through the top of the head to the back hairline; then from back to front, repeating over and over again.

When scratching, mainly use the spiral surface of the two little fingers for massage, and use the nails of other fingers to scratch the scalp along with the massage of the little fingers. The movement should be even, slow and gentle to avoid damaging the scalp.

If you focus your mind on a certain acupuncture point on the head, and massage it when you exhale and stop when you inhale, so that the mind, qi and form (massaging) are carried out at the same time, the effect will be better.

5-step head massage

1. Push and rub the forehead

First, press your thumbs or palms on the skin on the forehead above the eyebrows, and gently wipe them to the left and right with both hands, then push them back to the center of the forehead at the ends of the eyebrows. Use both hands alternately and rub rhythmically for more than ten times. Do not use too much force, and do it until the skin on the forehead does not turn red.

2. Comb and massage the top of the head

Next, place the ten fingers of both hands on both sides of the top of the head, and use a little force to comb your hair from the front hairline along the top of the head to the back of the head about 20 times; then press the thumbs of both hands on the temples on both sides of the forehead, and use the other four fingers slightly apart to press against the top of the head. Use both hands to apply force at the same time, and massage in a straight line from top to bottom and from bottom to top for more than 10 times; finally, press the Baihui point in the middle of the top of the head with the middle finger or index finger, and press and rub it in a rotating manner from light to heavy force for more than 10 times.

3. Knead your head and rub your hair roots

Then, bend the ten fingers of both hands and tap your head more than 10 times, then grab the roots of your hair with a little force, comb your hair from front to back, and rub your entire head more than 10 times. You can also use a comb instead.

4. Dry wipe face

Use your fingers or palms to rub back and forth from the eyebrows to the chin. If you want to achieve a beauty effect, you should massage from bottom to top. The movements should be slow and rhythmic, not fast or slow, but even and moderate.

5. Pat your face

Doctors kindly remind you that head massage can help eliminate fatigue, improve scalp nutrition, promote metabolism, regulate skin secretions, etc., and it has certain significance. Do it once every morning when you wake up, during lunch break, and before going to bed, each time for about 10 minutes. You can do it more often when you have time.
