The steps

Ying Xiang (LI20) · 3 minutes
In the nasolabial groove, at the outermost point of the nostril. Use a fingertip on both sides. Circle gently for about three minutes. Ying Xiang is the local nasal point for obstruction and a sensitive, reactive nose.

Taiyang (EX-HN5) · 1 minute
In the soft depression at the temple, roughly level with the outer end of the eyebrow and the outer canthus. Circle both sides kindly for about one minute. Taiyang is used for head and face comfort alongside nasal work.

FAQs
Quick questions
Can this replace a clinic visit for sinusitis?
No. Home press is educational support for mild congestion between visits. Book if congestion keeps returning, or seek Western care for fever or breathing difficulty.
How often can we use these points?
Once a day is a common educational habit when a physician has agreed home press fits. Keep the circles kind and short enough for the child's attention.
