① Facial Rubbing Method: Rub your hands together to warm them up. Start from the forehead and rub along the temples to the lower jaw, repeating 20-30 times. Then, use the four fingertips of both hands to rub along the eyebrow arch from the Yintang acupoint to the temples on both sides, repeating multiple times. Gradually move upwards to the hairline. Use gentle and soft movements, applying slightly more pressure on the Yintang acupoint to create a warm sensation. This technique can reduce blood pressure and improve facial luster.
② Rubbing the Bamboo Gathering Acupoint: Use the tips of both thumbs to rub the bamboo gathering acupoints on both sides about 100 times, applying even pressure. This method can alleviate symptoms such as headache and dizziness.
③ Rubbing the Bridge of the Foot: Tilt your head to one side and use the four fingertips of both hands to rub along the prominent area behind the ear on the opposite side, following the main muscle downwards until reaching the upper part of the chest. Alternate the hands and repeat multiple times. This method has a significant hypotensive effect.
