Although often unnoticed, ice cubes provide many benefits. For one, it is a

beauty regimen essential. Experts believe that using these cool cubes in the

face minimises development of large pores and prevents excess oil. It is also

an effective, natural foundation make-up as it keeps the skin glowing without

the use of cosmetics.

One particular research also claimed that chewing on ice cubes gives a mental

boost to people who suffer iron deficiency. Moreover, it helps relieve nausea

symptoms. Recent information, however, suggest that ice cubes are not just a

beauty regimen essential or a mental booster; they also relieve pain and

restore energy flow in the body. The secret is manipulation of the Feng Fu

pressure point.

Science behind Acupressure

A common pressure point used in

acupressure is the Feng Fu. Called

Wind Mansion in English, this tender

spot is at the base of the skull, found

just below the bottom ridge of the

skullcap. The simplest way of

stimulating this vital point involves

the use of an ice cube.

Manipulation of pressure points prompts the release of endorphins, the

neurochemicals that relieve pain. They prevent pain signals sent to the brain,

which helps in facilitating proper blood flow and oxygen and relaxation of the

muscles.

Other than relieving pain, acupressure also restores energy in the body by

breaking tensions that affect immune systems. Tension often happens in

acupressure points. A chronically stressed muscle causes fibres to contract as

lactic acid is secreted due to fatigue, poor blood circulation, and chemical

imbalances.

Stimulation of Feng Fu Pressure Point

Individuals may do the stimulation therapy twice a day, once in the morning

and on an empty stomach, and at night, before going to bed.

Experts say that the method improves the health of different systems in the

body, including the digestive and cardiovascular systems. It also reduces

headaches and tooth problems. Further, it prevents neurological disorders and

degenerative changes in the spine.

Arthritis patients may also benefit from the therapy as it relieves joint pains.

People can also experience alleviation of symptoms of stress, fatigue,

depression and insomnia, which contributes to better sleep.

Although not an established treatment for body pains, ice cubes can contribute

to restoring the body’s energy. Ice cubes, then, are not just a beauty regimen

must-have or a mental booster. More importantly, it is the simplest way to

stimulate pressure points, which improves over-all wellness.
