We all want to live longer. But we also want to look and
feel young while we do it. To achieve this, we of course must eat right, stay
active and keep our minds sharp. However, it turns out that a few moments with an
ice cube on the back of your neck can also help. The point in the middle of the
back of your neck, close to the hairline, is called in Chinese medicine
"Feng Fu", and it is the pressure point found at the base of the
skull.
If you put an ice cube on that spot, beyond the momentary
relief from this summer heat, you'll awaken your body's balancing force and
even discover your joy and energy levels increasing. Keep reading and learn the
advantages of this method and the way to apply it.
Lie on your stomach and put an ice cube on the feng fu
pressure point. Leave it there for 20 minutes (you may need a towel to keep it
in place). Do this on an empty stomach, regularly, with a 2-3 day breaks,
morning and night before going to bed. Within a few days you should feel:
An elevation in your mood
Relief from headaches
Better breathing
A higher quality of sleep
Improved digestion
Relief from cold symptoms
Relief from tooth pain
More energy and alertness
Fight problems with your parathyroid gland
According to Chinese medicine, the Feng Fu point is not a
healing pressure point, it is, in fact, a pressure point that returns the body
to its natural physiological state, so external factors that influence your
health and your bodily processes may be neutralized by treating this point.
Modern medicine explains these effects by pointing out that
the Feng Fu point is very close to our brain stem, and that is why it is not
recommended for pregnant women, people with Schizophrenia or people with
pacemakers.
Try it yourselves when you are suffering from pain, feeling
very tired or are just feeling out of sorts and out of balance with your body.
It's also a good way to stay cool this summer!
