In addition, the effect can be enhanced when combined with other acupoint massages, but attention should be paid to the operation techniques to avoid over-stimulation.

Paragraph 2: Detailed explanation of the effect of improving eyesight and protecting eyes

Because Sibai point is close to the eyes, it is often used to relieve symptoms caused by overuse of the eyes. Modern people who watch electronic screens for a long time are prone to dry eyes and blurred vision. Pressing this point can stimulate the infraorbital nerve, promote tear secretion, and improve visual fatigue. The traditional Chinese medicine classic "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing" records that it "mainly causes redness, pain and itching in the eyes", and is also used clinically to assist in the treatment of myopia, glaucoma, etc. You can use fingertips to gently press it every day for 1-2 minutes each time. The effect is better when combined with Jingming point.

Section 3: Beauty and facial conditioning effects

The area where Sibai point is located is rich in blood vessels and nerves. Stimulating this point can accelerate facial metabolism and relieve edema and dullness. It is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for beauty. Japanese scholars have found that long-term massage can reduce fine lines around the eyes (source cited: "Oriental Medical Research"). At the same time, it can improve facial nerve paralysis to a certain extent. Acupuncture is often used at Dicang and Jieche points, but it must be performed by a professional physician to avoid self-acupuncture.

Paragraph 4: Precautions for use

Although Sibai point has various functions, it needs to be used scientifically. Pregnant women and those with facial infections should not press; the technique should be gentle to avoid bruising caused by excessive force. Some eye drops brands (such asSanten FX) contains similar blood-activating ingredients, but acupoint conditioning focuses more on long-term maintenance. If you need to treat serious eye diseases or facial paralysis, it is recommended to combine it with regular hospital treatments and not rely entirely on acupoint stimulation.

Daily eye protection can be combined with hot compresses, and beauty massage is recommended with essential oils to enhance the effect. It should be made clear that it is not a panacea, and severe symptoms still require medical treatment. Proper use of this traditional acupuncture point can provide a simple way to alleviate sub-health problems of modern people.
