As you continue in this deep state of relaxation, begin to focus on the areas of your face where tension may reside. Picture the acupuncture points that can aid in relieving allergy-related sinusitis.

Locate LI20, known as Yingxiang, situated on either side of your nostrils. Visualize this point as a gateway, clearing your sinuses and allowing fresh air to flow freely. Feel the sensation of relief washing over you as you imagine the congestion dissipating.

Now, shift your attention to ST8, or Touwei, located at the corners of your forehead, just above your eyebrows. Envision this point gently melting away the pressure in your face, alleviating discomfort and bringing a sense of lightness.

Direct your focus to BL7, known as Tongtian, found at the back of your head, slightly above the nape of your neck. Picture this point reducing congestion, creating space for ease and comfort within your head.

Finally, visualize GB20, or Fengchi, located at the base of your skull, where your neck meets your head. Imagine this point clearing your mind, releasing any heaviness, and allowing clarity to flow through your thoughts.

With each breath, embrace the healing energy of these points. Inhale deeply, feeling the air fill your sinuses with lightness, and exhale any discomfort or pressure. Allow this process to balance your body, restoring it to its natural, harmonious state.

Continue to breathe softly, feeling the alignment and ease within you. Trust in this natural remedy, as your body begins to heal and invigorate with each passing moment. Let go of any remaining tension, knowing you are nurturing your wellbeing through this gentle, effective practice.
