Hair brushing method reduces stress and insomnia
Combing your hair is something that almost everyone does every day, but few people know that combing your hair can also have the same effect as a scalp massage, acupressure massage of the head, helping the body feel more relaxed, sleep easier...
1. The head is where many important acupuncture points are concentrated.
Oriental medicine attaches great importance to meridians and acupuncture points, often using them in the prevention and treatment of diseases.
According to Oriental medicine, the head is where the yang meridians converge, an important part on which there are many important acupuncture points.
Among them, Baihui, Dau Duy, Nao Ho, Than Dinh, Suat Coc... and many other acupoints are very powerful acupoints, often used clinically.
If you can regularly press and impact these acupoints, it will help blood circulation, strengthen the spirit, promote vitality, calm the nerves, and be beneficial in treating headaches, insomnia, fatigue, stress, etc.
2. Combing your hair - a health method to cure insomnia and reduce stress
Combing your hair is a very simple task, it can be said that anyone can do it. Just pay attention to a few small things and we can completely become a "technician" to massage our own scalp.
Tools for scalp massage (besides specialized tools with relatively high prices), we can completely use a regular comb with round teeth or use our fingertips.
To achieve the health benefits, when brushing your hair, you should gently apply pressure to the scalp, brush gently and slowly. Brush all areas of the scalp from the forehead, temples, to the top of the head and back of the neck.
Do not do it too quickly with too much force, which can easily damage the scalp and not achieve the desired goal. If done correctly, just brush for a while and we will feel the scalp feels very comfortable, the head feels light, airy, and feels more energetic.
3. The best time to brush your hair
It can be said that brushing your hair at any time of the day, if done correctly, will have a very good effect on your health. However, there are two "golden times" for brushing your hair to be more effective: brushing your hair at night before going to bed and early in the morning after waking up.
- Brush your hair before going to bed:According to Oriental medicine, the gallbladder meridian circulates from 11pm to 1am. The gallbladder meridian runs through both sides of the head, above the ears, so brushing your hair before going to bed has a very good effect on the gallbladder meridian.
The acupoints on the gallbladder meridian have the effect of calming the mind. Massaging these acupoints will help improve sleep quality, making it easier to fall asleep and sleep more deeply.
Especially gall bladder is decisive. Modern people with stressful mental work often have migraines and pain on both sides of the temples, so combing your hair before going to bed at night is a good way to improve the above problems.
- Comb your hair after waking up:Many people have the habit of combing their hair in the morning, not only does it help us look better before going out, but it is also a way to warm up after a sedentary night. If you know how to comb your hair in the morning, paying more attention to the back of your head, it will be more effective.
The back of the neck is where the bladder meridian and the governor meridian circulate. The governor meridian runs in the middle of the neck, while the bladder meridian runs on either side of the governor meridian. The bladder meridian, also known as the Taiyang Bladder meridian, is the largest meridian in the body. The bladder meridian and the governor meridian govern the body's yang energy. If these meridians are stimulated in the morning, it can help to promote yang energy and awaken the mind.
In addition, additional impact on the frontal area also has great effects in the morning. The frontal area is the transit area of the Yangming stomach meridian. This meridian governs the body's daytime spirit.
If you often feel tired and depressed in the morning, applying pressure to this area can help improve the condition. Using a comb to brush this area more often is also a simple and effective method to apply pressure to the acupoints on the stomach meridian in that area.
When it comes to health preservation, many people will think of esoteric methods and complicated movements, but in fact we can completely preserve our health from seemingly familiar daily activities, and combing our hair, if we know how, is one of them./.
