Visualize the acupuncture points as you focus on your breath.

LI20, located on the face, just beside the nostrils, plays a vital role in clearing the nasal passages. Imagine a gentle breeze flowing through, relieving nasal obstruction and restoring your sense of smell.

Next, bring your awareness to BL7, found at the top of the head, 1.5 inches back from the hairline. This point helps alleviate sinus pressure, allowing clarity and lightness in the mind and facial area.

Now, focus on ST8, located at the temples, where the forehead meets the hairline. This point reduces discomfort in the face, promoting relaxation and ease.

Lastly, direct your attention to LI4, located in the webbing between your thumb and index finger. This powerful point boosts immunity, enhancing your body's natural defenses and vitality. Please note, avoid this point if you are pregnant.

As you breathe deeply, envision these points harmonizing your energy, improving your breathing and sense of smell. Allow the healing energy from these points to flow freely, clearing any congestion and restoring balance.

With each breath, imagine the energy circulating through your body, dissolving any obstructions and bringing you to a state of perfect health and well-being. Trust in this natural process and allow your body to restore itself to its optimal state.
