From headaches to high blood pressure and improvements in hearing the Xia Xi acupoint will serve you well.

Pressure: Use an index finger or a thumb to press firmly on Xia Xi for three to five seconds, relax for three seconds, and repeat for one to three minutes on each foot. Depending on the mobility levels, you can also use a blunt object like the back of a pen or chopstick to reach the foot and apply steady pressure. Circular Massage: Use your index finger or thumb to massage the area in circular motions for one to three minutes on each side.

Herbal Patch: Applying an herbal patch overnight provides continuous stimulation. Professional Techniques: Acupuncture, cupping, or moxibustion, a gentle heat therapy with dried mugwort, by a trained TCM practitioner, can offer deeper therapeutic benefits..
