There are many points on the head, a total of 361 points in the human body, at least 20% of the points in the head, is the most dense part of the body.

When the body meridian is blocked, it is easy to make the head Qi and blood circulation is not smooth, and there are fatigue, insomnia, memory loss, spastic headache and other symptoms, and through the head health to solve these problems is a good way. However, due to the large number of acupuncture points on the head, the method of single point selection for massage is cumbersome and ineffective. Therefore, it is currently believed that the most simple and convenient massage method in the head is to comb the hair.

The choice of head comb to wood or horn and other natural materials is best, the comb teeth should be smooth, wood comb should be used in winter, horn comb should be used in summer.

When combing hair, it can also be combined with finger massage, that is, the ten fingers of both hands are naturally separated, and the finger abdomen or tip is used to do circular kneading from the front hairline to the back hairline, and then massage from both sides of the head to the top of the head, and the force should be uniform and consistent, so repeated dozens of times, with a slight heat sensation on the scalp.
