These days, we usually rely on modern knowledge and modern technologies to guide us for the way we live our lives. Hence, it is only natural to assume that modern society can guide us on the path to good health and well being. After all look, at the tremendous achievements modern medicine has achieved so far in the battle against diseases like heart attacks and cancer.
Because of this, we now tend to look up to modern medicine to provide us with the things we need to overcome whatever it is that ails us. Unfortunately, modern medicine does not have the answers to all of life’s myriad maladies. One of these unresolved maladies is sinus infection. However, there are people who will swear on their mother’s grave that acupressure, an ancient Chinese healing discipline, definitely works for the treatment or cure of sinusitis.
Acupressure is based on the existence of vital energy or chi. It is used to help increase the flow of energy and blood in the body
For sinusitis, acupressure has a special regimen to treat the condition. You or your therapist will know what precise areas to massage and stimulate in order to effect a treatment. You may need to give a thorough description of your symptoms and all vital information to your therapist in order to correctly diagnose your problem and therefore provide you with the right kind of treatment.
You can also perform the therapy yourself provided you know what correct pressure points to use and how to perform the therapy the correctly. Acupressure works the same way as acupuncture but instead of stimulating the pressure points with needles, you only need your fingers to apply the right pressure on the body.
Your eye is one of the most useful locations in your body to begin performing acupressure for the treatment of sinusitis. To begin, place your thumbs about halfway up on one side of your nose. Then firmly press the cartilage of your nose with the thumbs. Keep on pressing for half a minute. Repeat this process as much as you can. One of the greatest things about acupressure is that it has no side effects.
The following is another form acupressure therapy you can try.
Press the areas next to your inner eyes on the two sides of the bridge of your nose with your index finger and left thumb. Hold this for a few seconds. Applying pressure on the areas near the eyes is what people instinctively do if they’re having sinus problems.
We tend to often rely on modern knowledge and medical techniques to address our health problems. We also tend to forget that there are a variety of healing techniques have been used for thousands of years that are just as good as or even better than today’s modern treatments. Acupressure offers certain exciting possibilities when it comes to treating or curing sinusitis.
