Acupuncture can be very helpful in many cases. A specialist reveals that the technique can also bear fruit in decongesting the nose in addition to drug treatments while the flu is still raging in France. We’ll explain!

Headaches, sore throat, flu-like illness and stuffy nose are all symptoms of the flu which is still raging in France and for which we have not yet reached the epidemic peak. It’s difficult to escape the traditional blocked nose caused by the disease which can cause real discomfort or even difficulty breathing for some, especially when both nostrils are affected! If colds, flu or other seasonal illnesses can be the cause, other pathologies can be the cause, such as a deviation of the nasal septum, allergic rhinitis, or even nasal-sinus polyposis.

Even if medicinal treatments or nose washes are generally effective in decongesting a blocked nose, it is also possible to use a gentler medicine, acupuncture. A specialist reveals the points to press on the head and face to help you breathe better. But be careful, these techniques only prove effective when they are done well, so a quick overview!

The five points to press

Decongesting your nose using acupuncture can be effective, but be careful, as the specialist indicates, in certain cases it is completely useless. If you suffer from a cold, sinus problem (sinusitis for example) or chronic rhinitis, the technique may be useful to you, however in other situations you will not find what you need: “This is particularly the case for people who have a blocked nose due to a very pronounced deviation of the nasal septum and for those who have extremely serious corneal conditions, in which case a surgical procedure may be recommended.», explains Marie-Yolaine Gaget.

For everyone else, here are the five main points to press:

  • The large intestine meridian 20 which is located at the bottom corner of the nostrils. By pressing on each side several times for a few seconds, your nose will usually clear up shortly after.
  • The bladder meridian which finds its two points at the internal tip of the two eyes, to do this you have to work on these points “by massaging a point in the middle which is called the third eye which is part of the governing vessel and which is also interesting for clearing the sinuses” explains the specialist.
  • The stomach meridian which is simply located under the eye just a little lower than the maxillary sinus.
  • The gallbladder meridian which is located just above the brow arch at the corner of the outer eye
  • Finally the governor vessel which draws a line from the forehead passing through the hair in a straight line to the nose then to the chin. You must then press on the highest point of the skull just at the level of the closure of the fontanels.
