How To Relieve Sinus Pain with Acupressure
Points to relieve sinus pain
Apply gentle, yet firm pressure to each of these points to relieve sinus pain due to sinusitis and sinus congestion.
The four points shown on the diagram are located on both sides of the face. In total, you will contact eight acupressure points. With the person lying face up, sit behind their head and apply pressure to one set of points at a time.
Encourage the sinus sufferer to fully drop the weight of their head onto the supporting surface, close their eyes, and breathe normally. Allow your pressure to deepen when they exhale. Ask if you are applying enough pressure, or too much. Together, you will figure out just how much pressure is needed.
5- 10 minutes of acupressure will bring relief.
Take your time. Hold each point for 3 – 5 breaths, slowly release your contact and move on to the next set of points. Repeat this process a few times until relief is felt.
Once the sinuses open, the pressure will reduce and the sinus pain will also reduce. Now it’s time for you to give a simple short foot massage. Massaging the feet balances the energy from head to toe, bringing even more relief.
Below is a video showing how to locate each point:

Hi Marietta,
Yes – I have an online certification program, when you complete the course you will receive a certificate. The Certification Program incorporates acupressure points, I call my work Meridian Massage. Here is the link to the Meridian Massage Certification Program Online
Let me know if you have any questions about the program – it’s a wonderful way to go very deep with acupressure!

Thanks Cindy for the quick reply…I was also wondering if there’s another acupressure point in between ST 3 and SI 18…thanks we love you all the way from kenia
Hi Marrieta,
I don’t know of other points between those 2. There are many points on the face – here is a link to some of the more commonly used ones for sinus pain https://www.bigtreehealing.com/how-to-relieve-sinus-pain-with-acupressure/
Points have many uses, so even though I am writing these points to relieve sinus pain, they have other applications as well that may benefit your work.

[…] Caring for ourselves naturally is even better when we combine different approaches. When I have a stuffy nose or sinus congestion, I use steam inhalations and acupressure. Now that you have mastered steam inhalations, go check out acupressure points to relieve sinus congestion. […]

Wow, I had no idea that acupressure could help with sinus relief. Since my allergies get worse in the fall, it might be a good to hit the acupoints to help my sinuses. It might be a good idea to visit with someone who can help me learn more about acupressure and sinus relief.
Thank you! 🙂
