What is the Correct Way to Massage the Head?

If you wish to massage your head, you can generally use finger rubbing, point pressing, and palm rubbing methods to assist in regulating blood circulation and meridian smoothness in the head, maintaining normal physiological activities of the body.

1. Finger Rubbing Method

If you often have disrupted sleep-wake cycles or use your brain for extended periods, it can affect blood flow and meridian smoothness in the head. Doctors will apply the thumb, index finger, and ring finger closely to the skin of the head and repeatedly rub the skin to regulate blood flow in the scalp area and relieve physical fatigue.

2. Point Pressing Method

Doctors can also use the fingertips or interphalangeal joints to press on the temples and Fengchi points on the head, applying appropriate pressure to stimulate the acupoints and meridians, thereby reducing pain caused by meridian blockages.

3. Palm Rubbing Method

Doctors can also attach the straight surfaces of the four fingers, the palm, and the thenar and hypothenar eminences to the skin of the head and rub back and forth in a straight line to regulate blood flow in the head and assist in regulating emotions.

In daily life, avoid being in a low-temperature environment for extended periods. It is recommended to drink warm water appropriately and keep the skin warm. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention promptly and avoid blindly rubbing your head to prevent serious adverse reactions.
