The root cause of all this is endocrine disorders. Here we teach you how to balance endocrine through acupoint massage.

Hand-grabbing head massage

Palms facing inward, fingers open as if scratching an itch. Close your eyes, calm your mind, and relax your body while scratching. Start from 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 the process. When scratching, mainly use the spiral surface of the two little fingers to massage, and use the nails of other fingers to scratch the scalp along with the little fingers' massage. The movements should be even, slow, and gentle to avoid damaging the scalp. If you focus your mind on a certain acupuncture point on the head when scratching, and scratch when you exhale and stop when you inhale, so that the mind, qi, and form (scratching and massaging) are carried out simultaneously, the effect will be better.

Efficacy: Regulate skin secretion and relieve fatigue. Massaging the head with your hands is meaningful for relieving fatigue, improving scalp nutrition, promoting metabolism, regulating skin secretion, etc. Do it once every morning, during lunch break, and before going to bed, for about 10 minutes each time. You can do it more often when you have time.
