Acupressure Points for Eye Strain
Relieve eye strain with acupoints.
Relieve eye strain with acupoints.Tired or strained eyes can benefit from gentle massage to acupressure points (also know as acupoints or just points) located around the eyes.
Being gentle is critical! Acupoints around the eyes can be very sensitive, so only use gentle pressure for about 20 – 30 seconds on each point. Never create any pain with your pressure. Practice gentle, circular pressure to the points. Feel for a sensation of relief, and more energy in and around the eyes – that is when you are doing it “just right.”
Acupoints around the eyes:
All points are located around both eyes.
Points listed above:
- Extra Point YuYao
- Bladder 2
- Stomach 2
- Bladder 1
- San Jiao 23
- Gallbladder 1
Learn how to massage acupressure points to relieve eye strain:
When to massage these points
Think about preventing eye strain – massage these points before you read or work on the computer. If you notice any strain, pause and massage the points. Just a few minutes of massage can bring a lot of relief. Massage these points before going to bed to support the recovery of tired eyes while sleeping.
Practice and notice the effects. The more experience you have, the easier it is to know how long, how often, and how much pressure to use.
Thanks a lot . ..I had to study for my exam and was facing lot of strain in my eyes also had headache because of this.

Thank you, Cindy, for sharing your remarkable expertise.
Hi Cindy,
Great webinar, thank you. What does it mean when 1 side is more sensitive than the other- and how do you clear It? Also you said a couple points had little dios to them. Do most point have that sme indicator?
Thank you
Hi Stacey,
I always work on both sides in order to get the Qi moving through the meridians and points. If one side is generally more tender, that indicates that there is more stagnation on that side – so extra opening and stretching of that side of the body can help relieve that.
Many points are located in little dips, yes. But many do not have that kind of indicator, so you have to know the landmarks and directions for finding them. I teach those details in Guide to the 12 Meridians online class it is quite a bit of knowledge to gather.
Thanks for your questions – I hope this helps to clarify.

I love your free webinars. I am an energy healer and caregiver. I expect to have the money soon to take your courses. I do several of those points every day with your phrase, abundant free flowing chi. some of them are the eft points I use. I had cataract surgery in both eyes and laser shots in both eyes later because I developed clumps in my eyes. I will do all of these points now. thank you so much!
