Facial Massage for Smooth Skin

Dr Loh taught us his patients how to combat rough skin the gentle way. The diagram below shows a number of points on the face to massage.

Self-Help for Headaches

In Western medicine, aspirin is a ‘one-size-fits-all’ drug for pain and headaches. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) however, there are fine distinctions amongst frontal headache, occipital headache, sinus headache, allergy headache, and tension headache. In terms of TCM, different kinds of headaches correspond to different diagnosis and call for different treatment points and herbal formulas.

During his 2010 presentations, Dr Loh showed us six points that we can massage to ease headaches. Here are two pictures to show the location of these points, thanks to Shirley Fong for her graphic rendition.
