Stress relief with Acupressure
I don’t understand why in the Western world acupressure is sold as an anti-aging method instead of an anti-stress, I think that premature aging can also have stress as a factor therefore it is best to focus on the stress and it causes.
Anyway, I have this book called Timeless Face by Ellae Elinwood and of course it is sold as an anti-aging book but acupressure trust me is a great way to relief stress of working long hours on a computer.
A study demonstrated that acupressure decrease stress and anxiety. According to Chinese medicine the acupoints on the face are located on the forehead (affect mental clarity , improve blood circulation), between eyebrow (puts joy on the face), right under the eyes (relief for the eyes), cheeks ( clear emotions on the face), the tip of the nose (energize the face), chin and jowl ( help with confidence), arount the mouth (help with openness)
Gently massaging those acupoints with two fingers can help to relief stress and fatigue of working with computer during long hours combined with alternate nostril breath, you have a great package for the tip of the nose gently tap on it with one finger.
