The autumn weather is dry, and people often feel dry and stuffy nose, even nosebleeds. This is because the nasal mucosa is thin and prone to dryness, and the mucosa contains abundant capillaries, which become brittle and prone to rupture and bleeding when dry. If massage is used, not only can it promote the secretion of mucosa, keep the nasal cavity moist, and keep the nasal cavity unobstructed, but it also has the effect of treating rhinitis and preventing colds.
1. External nose method.
Use the thumb and index finger of the left or right hand to pinch the sides of the nose root and pull downwards forcefully, pulling downwards 12 times. Using this method to pull the nose can promote blood circulation in the nasal mucosa and facilitate the secretion of normal nasal mucus.
2. Internal nose method.
Use the thumb and index finger of the left or right hand to insert into the nostril and gently pull downwards on the nasal septum cartilage 12 times. This method can increase the nasal mucosa's ability to resist diseases, prevent colds and rhinitis, and keep the nasal cavity moist, mucous membrane rosy, maintain normal temperature, and increase cold resistance.
3. Press the Yingxiang acupoint.
Use the middle finger or index finger of both hands to press the Yingxiang acupoint (in the groove of the nasal lip beside the nostril) 12 times. Massaging this acupoint can improve local blood supply, prevent and treat nasal diseases, and also prevent and treat facial nerve paralysis.
4. Press the Yintang acupoint.
Use the thumb or fingertips of the index and middle fingers to press the Yintang acupoint (located between the eyebrows) 12 times. You can also use the fingertips of both middle fingers to alternately massage the Yintang acupoint. Massaging the Yintang acupoint can enhance the proliferation ability of nasal mucosal epithelial cells and stimulate olfactory cells to make the sense of smell more sensitive.
