According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, facial massage has a direct and obvious effect on the health of the organs through the meridians. The information from the outside world is mostly received by the facial senses, such as sight, hearing, and smell.
If the body is in a good state, the sensitivity of the five senses will be higher! Training and maintaining five sense functions can also stimulate the body’s response to make the activity vigorous, which can effectively curb aging.
