Pressing these two points for 2 minutes with your index fingers helps break up congestion, drain the sinuses and open your nasal passages.  Result:  less inflammation and swelling, so you breathe easier right away!  This effectively treats chronic sinus and nasal symptoms 99% of the time!

Feel Less Tired!
Press alongisde the bridge of your nose.
Called "Jingming" in Chinese, the two spots along the bridge of the nose where the eyes and nose meet affect the head's ophthalmic nerve, making it the go-to point for anything eye-related.  These acupoints have been used successfully to treat night blindness, nearsightedness, blurriness, eye pain and the tiredness that goes along with eyestrain.  And because the eyes and brain are so closely linked, pressing these points for 15 seconds, twice a day, can help you refresh and energize!
