Reflexology Tip: Sinuses

Reflexology is a practice that involves applying pressure to certain points on the feet, hands, and ears to stimulate healing and promote relaxation. Pressure points for sinus pain and congestion are specific areas that can be stimulated with touch to alleviate symptoms including facial pain, pressure, and congestion. Some of the reflexology points and pressure points for sinus pain and congestion include:

1. The base of the skull

Using gentle pressure, massage the soft area at the
base of the skull where the neck meets the head. This can help to relieve pressure and pain in the sinuses.

 

2. The bridge of the nose

Gently apply pressure to the bridge of the
nose, directly between the eyes. This can help to open up the sinuses and relieve congestion.

 

3. The forehead

Use your fingers to apply pressure to the forehead along the hairline. This can help to relieve pressure and promote drainage in the sinuses.

 

4. The temples

Using your fingers or the pads of your thumbs, massage the temples in a circular motion. This can help to relieve tension and pain in the sinus area.

 

5. The feet

Reflexology points on the feet that can help with sinus pain and congestion are centered on the toes, specifically the big toe, second toe, and third toe. Applying pressure to these areas can help to stimulate the sinuses and promote drainage.

It is important to note that reflexology and pressure point therapy should not be
used as a substitute for medical treatment. If you have persistent or severe sinus
pain or congestion, it is important to consult a doctor.
