How to do head massage

Everyone knows that there are many meridians and acupoints distributed in the head, neck and shoulders. Many people like to do head massage, thinking that they feel refreshed after the massage, and the fatigue of the brain will be swept away. However, our experts tell you that head massage is generally only needed once a week. Don't do it often, and be sure to go to a regular massage and health care institution to avoid incorrect doctor's techniques and cause other diseases.

There are many meridians and nerve endings on the scalp. Massaging the scalp can dredge the meridians, relax the nerves, eliminate fatigue, and prolong life. There are many acupoints on the scalp, such as Shangxing, Baihui, Qianding, Yuzhen, etc. Acupuncture on these acupoints can prevent and treat diseases. Massage of these acupoints can dredge the meridians and activate the collaterals, and play a role in preventing and treating neurasthenia, headache, insomnia, senile dementia, and amnesia. Regular scalp massage can promote blood circulation in the scalp, improve nutrition of hair follicles, promote hair growth, make hair shiny and flexible, prevent hair from graying and falling, and delay aging.

To massage your scalp, place the fingertips of both hands behind your ears, then move upwards with minimal movement to the top of your head. Place your fingertips on the hairline in front of your ears and use them to make circular motions upwards to the top of your head. Place your fingertips at the back of your head and slowly move upward from the top center hairline to the top of your head. Cover the back of the head with your entire palm, move from both sides to the area in front of the ears, massage upwards to the center of the forehead, and then from front to back to the top of the head. If the purpose of massage is to promote hair growth, you need to massage once in the morning and evening, each time for 8 to 10 minutes.

When doing massage, you should pay attention to the strength and speed of your fingers. In addition, when massaging, your fingernails must not be too long. It is best to cut your fingernails short before massaging to avoid causing necessary damage to your scalp. In addition, if patients want to treat hair loss through massage, they must persist for a long time to be effective. Only in this way can the scalp grow hair faster with the help of long-term massage.
