【English Version｜Winter Self-Care: 3 Acupressure Points to Ease Coldness, Stiff Shoulders & Fatigue】

Winter is the season when the body gets cold easily, and fatigue tends to accumulate. Lower temperatures reduce blood circulation, which can lead to stiff shoulders, headaches, poor sleep, and cold hands and feet.Here are three acupressure points you can try at home today to warm your body from the inside and ease winter discomfort. These points are also commonly used in head massage and head spa techniques.

1. Taikei (KI3)｜Best for Cold Feet & Sleeplessness

Location: Behind the inner ankle boneBenefits:

• Improves cold feet

• Supports better sleep

• Helps reduce fatigue

By promoting blood flow around the ankles, this point warms the lower body and helps relieve persistent coldness.Perfect for those who struggle with cold toes during winter.

2. Chūkyoku (CV3)｜Warms the Body from the Core

Location: 4–5 finger-widths below the navelBenefits:

• Warms internal organs

• Enhances blood circulation

• Helps with winter-related discomfort

This point helps warm your core and boosts overall circulation.Recommended for people who feel tired easily or experience abdominal coldness during winter.

3. Fūfu (GV16)｜For Stiff Neck, Headaches & Stress Relief

Location: The hollow between the back of the head and the neckBenefits:

• Relieves stiff neck and shoulders

• Helps ease headaches and eye strain

• Supports the autonomic nervous system

• Encourages better posture

Winter often causes people to hunch their shoulders, leading to tension around the neck.This point promotes blood flow in the upper body and is frequently stimulated in head massage and dry head spa treatments.

Winter Discomfort Is Often Caused by “Coldness”

Reduced sunlight and lower temperatures can disrupt the autonomic nervous system, making winter the season when stiffness, insomnia, and fatigue worsen.Daily self-care to warm the body and improve circulation is essential.

If coldness, heavy head, or stiff shoulders are persistent, combining self-care with professional head massage or acupuncture can offer deeper improvement.
