Many young men and women suffer from acne. In fact, simple acupressure techniques can not only alleviate symptoms but also enhance organ function, addressing the root causes of acne.
1. Forehead Acne
Clustered small, dense pimples on the forehead often relate to low physical activity and insufficient heart-lung function. Develop gentle exercise habits and avoid alcohol. Regularly massaging the Quchi (LI11) and Yuji (LI10) acupoints boosts immunity, clears heat, and moisturizes dryness.
2. Brow-Center Acne
Large pimples in the brow area result from multiple clogged pores becoming inflamed. This often relates to weakened heart function, such as from chronic sleep deprivation, mental overwork, or persistent anxiety. Establish a regular routine to nurture mental well-being. Massaging the Shaofu and Houxi acupoints can provide relief.
3. Lip-edge acne
Breakouts around the lips usually indicate poor digestion, often accompanied by fatigue, constipation, or loose stools. A long-term diet heavy in spicy and fried foods can also trigger a surge in lip-edge acne. It's recommended to first adjust your diet by increasing your intake of vegetables and fruits, supplemented by pressing the Yingxiang and Chengjiang acupoints.
4. Pimples around the nostrils
Pimples around the nose often indicate melancholy or worry affecting the spleen, reflecting poor digestive function. Symptoms may include constipation or stomach bloating. Avoid spicy and cold foods, and press the Guangming and Ligou acupoints.
5. Nose Tip Acne
This type often indicates irregular temperament, qi deficiency, and blood deficiency, typically accompanied by a pale complexion and dull complexion. Be vigilant for the occurrence of gastric ulcers. Massaging the Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Juliao (ST34) acupoints can regulate endocrine function and promote qi and blood circulation.
Hope these acupoints can help you.
