As autumn deepens, many people suffer from the problem of “autumn fatigue”. They always feel lethargic in their daily lives, exhausted after a little activity, and even feel drowsy repeatedly. As the ancient saying goes, “Spring is tired, autumn is tired, summer is weak, and winter is even more sleepless.” In the face of autumn fatigue, traditional Chinese medicine wisdom provides an effective way to relieve it – by massaging specific acupoints to enhance the spirit and dispel fatigue.
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, autumn fatigue is a natural physiological response of the human body in response to seasonal changes. Although it is not a disease, it truly affects our daily state and efficiency. For this reason, it is recommended that people often press the temple, Fengchi, and Baihui acupoints, which are all located on the head and face and have significant refreshing effects.
From the perspective of modern medicine, these acupoints are densely covered with multiple nerve branches such as the zygomatic nerve, facial nerve, frontal nerve, and mandibular nerve. Through appropriate massage, these nerves and surrounding blood vessels can be effectively stimulated, promoting blood circulation and enhancing oxygen supply to the brain, thereby stimulating brain vitality and achieving the goal of refreshing and relieving fatigue.
Location acupoint: Temple, easy to find, located on the side of the head, approximately one finger wide depression behind the midpoint of the line connecting the eyebrow tip and the outer corner of the eye; Fengchi acupoint is located in the depression between the large tendons on both sides of the neck; As for Baihui acupoint, it is located in the center of the head, precisely at the intersection of the straight line on the top of the head and the line connecting the tips of the two ears, and is known as a key location for regulating brain function.
Massage method: You can choose to press each acupoint for 1 to 2 minutes every day, with moderate intensity, preferably with a slight sour and swollen feeling in the local area. If the symptoms of autumn fatigue are more significant, it is advisable to increase the number of compressions after waking up in the morning and taking a nap in the afternoon to enhance the effect. This simple operation can help you effectively combat autumn fatigue and regain a full mental state.
