3 acupressure points recommended for autumn discomfort: Yintang, Tenchu, and Shakuze to refresh your body

Autumn is a season when chilly and dry mornings and evenings can easily cause discomforts like stiff necks and shoulders, a heavy head, and a sore throat. At YUE Head Acupuncture and Massage in Nihonbashi, Chuo Ward, Tokyo , we use acupressure and head massages using the Yintang, Tenchu, and Shakuzawa pressure points recommended for autumn health care to restore balance to the mind and body.

Indo (Indo) | For regulating the eyes, head, and autonomic nervous system

Located in the center of the forehead, Yintang is an acupressure point that relieves tension in the eyes and head. It is recommended for when your head feels heavy due to the dryness and temperature changes in autumn, or when you feel tired eyes or fatigue. While light pressure on this point is effective as self-care, stimulating it with acupuncture or a head massage can help balance the autonomic nervous system even more.

Tenchu (Heavenly Pillar) | For stiff neck and shoulders and head heaviness

The Tenchu acupressure points on both sides of the back of the head and base of the neck are acupressure points that can relieve stiffness in the neck and shoulders and a feeling of heaviness in the head. In autumn, cold weather and temperature fluctuations can easily reduce blood flow to the neck and shoulders, causing stiff shoulders and headaches. In addition to gently pressing these points as part of self-care, head massages and acupuncture can also be used to treat brain fatigue and chronic stiffness.

Shakutaku | For dryness and throat discomfort

Located on the inside of the elbow, slightly outside the center of the horizontal crease, Shakuzawa is a pressure point on the lung meridian and is related to respiratory problems. In autumn, dry weather and temperature fluctuations can make you more susceptible to sore throats and coughs. Self-care such as gently pressing Shakuzawa or acupuncture treatment can help regulate respiratory function and keep you comfortable.

Early treatment is important for autumn illnesses

Autumn is a season when our bodies can be easily burdened with dryness, cold, stiff shoulders, tired eyes, etc. By regularly taking care of yourself with the Yintang, Tenchu, and Shakuzawa techniques, as well as our head massage and acupuncture treatments , you can feel refreshed and in good shape both physically and mentally.
