Acupressure Points For Sinus Problems (Sinus Pressure, Pain, & Allergies)

Can acupressure relieve sinus pain and pressure, or sinus allergies? We have some acupressure points that may help you out.

There are several different problems that can happen to your sinuses to cause pain, irritation, stuffiness in your nose, or other annoyances in your body.

Whether you suffer from common allergies, or a serious sinus infection, I believe that acupressure can help relieve the physical symptoms that you’re experiencing. It may even help relieve the underlying problem to get rid of it for good.

That’s because acupressure is an energy-based healing technique, not a biologically-based method like prescription pills. Acupressure works by stimulating the flow of energy through your body’s spiritual energy pathways, usually known as acupuncture meridians.

The basic energy of life flows through these pathways and helps sustain your body. It helps keep every part of your body operating at maximum performance and health, including your sinus system.

When this energy becomes disrupted, disease and negative physical health issues can arise in the body. The solution to this energy disruption is to rebalance the energy by stimulating the acupuncture points around the body.

You can stimulate acupuncture points in a variety of ways, such as with needles in the process of acupuncture. Or, you can do it yourself at home with the healing art of acupressure.

It’s believed by energy healing practitioners that different acupuncture points are more suited for relieving certain problems around the body. This is because each point lies along a meridian pathway, and each meridian pathway is associated with a different organ or function of the body.
