Pain relief at the end of your fingertips
We have all experienced Pain throughout our lives and it can be very distressing and debilitating. When Pain occurs, our nervous system detects that there is an injury or underlying illness or distress in the body and we detect this as pain.
Facial Reflexology works with acupuncture points and nerve points on the face to help relieve pain. A Vietnamese form of Facial Reflexology that does this very effectively is called Dien Chan, Dien meaning Face and Chan meaning diagnosis or treatment.
It was discovered by an acupuncturist called Professor Chau. He discovered 564 points on the face that are related to the underlying nerves. Of these he currently uses 257 as he has found these to be the most effective.
The theory behind these nerve points is that when stimulated, the nerve point sends an impulse to the brain to release energy. This energy is then directed back to the corresponding organ. In other words, if you suffer from shoulder pain, when you press on the nerve point for the shoulders, a message is sent to the brain.
The brain detects the pain in that organ from the stimulation of the nerve point and endorphins are sent out to reduce the pain.
Stimulation of these nerve points is a very effective way of reducing or relieving pain. Rollers or implements such as the rounded tip of a ballpoint pen can be used or it’s just as effective to use your fingers.
Pain relief really can be found at the end of your fingers.
These points can be worked up to three times a day but remember – If you have had the pain for a long time, it may take days to a few weeks for your body to rebalance and adjust to the new normal.
