A few techniques to try:
• For crows’ feet, gently press the points around the orbits of your eyes. Start from the inside orbit point (below the tear duct) and work your way to the outside point (where the upper and lower lid meet).
• To release muscular tension in the jaw, press the point located at the back corner of the jaw. Move finger up and forward. (Most people have tight jaw muscles; this point will likely be tender or sore.)
• For deep creases in the forehead, press on the muscles around the creases; mold the muscles back into the creases. Do light circular massage on the forehead to stimulate lymph flow.
• For laugh lines around the mouth, press the points at the corners of the mouth and the point in the crease between the chin and lower lip.
Acupuncture and acupressure are gaining new respect in the western world as painless, non-toxic therapies for restoring healing energy and for preventing disease. Conventional doctors find that acupuncture and acupressure work well in conjunction with conventional medicine, an unusual benefit for western medicine. Because they are free of toxins and addictive side effects, they have become valuable alternatives for people who used to live on Motrin, Advil and other pain pills that harm the liver.
