Facial Points
Our facial treatment is much more than skin deep.
Did you know that when facial acupuncture points are stimulated it treats areas on the face and body?
This is a systemic approach. Working on the outside and inside at the same time.
Not only are the facial points connected with the body systemically but includes the function and abilities of your internal organ systems and also balancing emotions.
On the outside your skin’s appearance is more balanced, nourished and restored. As a fascinating surprise, your body’s overall functioning is improved physically, energetically and mentally.
Your internal results include:
A more balanced nervous system, including vagus nerve stimulation
Balanced Qi and restored energy
Improved internal organ systems function and abilities
Decreased pain, swelling and inflammation
Balanced emotions
Overall improved mental wellbeing
When facial acupuncture points are stimulated, our Five element Fu organs are affected. The Fu organs directly affect their paired Zang organs (see list below). I will give more in depth about how the face points affect the organs in just a minute. I want to highlight the gallbladder, stomach and small intestine because these all have a strong influence on the heart and mind.
Here is a quick list of Five Element organ energy meridians and some of their points I use on the face:

I love how holistic my work is in treating the physical, emotional and mental parts of the body. You come in for a relaxing facial treatment and are also benefitting your entire body, inside and out!
