People with insomnia will definitely have redness on this part of their face

Insomnia often affects people's normal work, life, study and health. Most people with insomnia will have redness in the forehead area. Many people rely on sleeping pills to help them sleep, but the abuse of sleeping pills can cause great hidden dangers. Are there some simple and easy physical methods to relieve and treat insomnia?

Ancient Chinese medicine tells us that massaging one acupuncture point can calm your mind: the Yintang point.

No matter what type of insomnia you have, you can use a universal acupoint to calm your mind. This acupoint is located between your eyebrows and is called Yintang.

Speaking of the name Yintang, everyone must be familiar with it. We often hear lines like "If your Yintang is black, a disaster will befall you" in movies and TV dramas. Yes, Yintang is indeed a word from physiognomy. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Yintang is an important acupoint on the Du meridian. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine's visual diagnosis, the human face corresponds to different internal organs, and changes in facial color can reflect related problems of the internal organs. The area of ​​the forehead where the yin center is located belongs to the heart and the brain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the center of the five internal organs is where the spirit is stored and is the official of the monarch. The emperor must occupy the highest position to have a far-sighted vision, so the forehead belongs to the heart. The brain also contains the spirit. The spirit contained in the brain is the primordial spirit, and the skull is called the "house of the primordial spirit." The Yingtang is located in the middle of the forehead, which is the core position at the highest point, and it also reflects the specific connection between this position and the brain, the "home of the soul". Therefore, the color changes in the Yin Tang area can often reflect a person's mental state.

Generally, people who are overworked tend to have red foreheads, because excessive thinking can easily drain the heart's energy and damage the temper. The heart governs the mind, while the spleen governs transportation and transformation and muscles and limbs. It is not difficult to understand why such people are prone to symptoms such as frequent dreams, irritability, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Once the forehead turns red, it means there is a problem with sleep and you need to calm your mind. How to calm the mind? You can call it "Opening the Gate of Heaven".

The method is as follows: put the index finger and middle finger together, and massage in a spiral shape from the position of the forehead. This method is suitable for self-massaging for 3 to 5 minutes before going to bed at night, which can help you sleep soundly.

Some people want to take a break for a few minutes at noon and then continue to work. In this case, don’t “open the sky gate”, because this will make you sleep too deeply and unable to continue working. You can start from the center of your brow, and then stroke along the upper edge of your eyebrows to both sides. This method can help you fall asleep briefly and then return to work full of energy.

If the insomnia problem is too serious and there is no obvious improvement with general methods, you can find a mung bean and stick it between your eyebrows with adhesive tape. This will create a sense of pressure on your forehead, which will also help calm your mind.
