7 reasons to try Head & Scalp Acupressure Massage
An acupressure massage on the head and scalp can provide numerous physical and mental health benefits by stimulating pressure points, improving circulation, and relieving tension. Here’s why you should try it:
1. Relieves Stress & Anxiety
Activates relaxation responses by releasing endorphins (feel-good hormones).
Reduces cortisol levels, helping calm the mind.
2. Improves Blood Circulation
Enhances oxygen and nutrient flow to hair follicles, promoting healthier hair growth.
May help reduce hair thinning and improve scalp health.
3. Reduces Headaches & Migraines
Targets pressure points (like the GV20 or "Baihui" point) to relieve tension headaches.
Eases sinus pressure and eye strain.
4. Boosts Mental Clarity & Focus
Stimulates brain function by increasing blood flow to the head.
Helps with brain fog, fatigue, and concentration issues.
5. Promotes Better Sleep
Calms the nervous system, making it easier to fall asleep.
Great for insomnia or restless nights.
6. Helps with Scalp Conditions
May reduce dandruff, dryness, and itchiness by improving sebum balance.
Encourages detoxification by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
7. Relieves Neck & Shoulder Tension
Many scalp pressure points connect to neck muscles, helping ease stiffness.
Self-acupressure at home
