Dien Cham points for a better hormone balance

Small dots - big effect

Dien Cham is a Vietnamese facial reflexology massage. Just as we massage the soles of our feet to do the body some good, in Vietnam specific points on the face are massaged. This has a major benefit for one’s appearance, as it ensures the face is always well supplied with energy. So every little massage not only benefits the body but also helps to combat wrinkles. In my Book and Course I dedicate an entire chapter to this exciting method with detailed instructions.

In the course I will teach you the massage that helps against wrinkles and energises the face. Today I would like to show you a few points that help against typical women's complaints - in the Menopause and during the Rule. I myself like to use Dien Cham to relieve aches and pains and can highly recommend it.

How to massage

Find the point shown in the illustration. The lines will give you a bit of guidance. Grab a pen, a crochet hook or a normal hair clip with a rounded end. If you have a massage stick or a TCM stick at home, all the better. But it’s not essential. A hair clip like this applies the same pressure as a Dien Cham pen. So, work out where the point might roughly be and press around a bit on your face. You’ll know exactly when you’ve found it – because it’ll hurt. If you’ve searched the whole area and haven’t found a tender spot, it’s enough just to massage that spot gently with your finger. A tender spot, on the other hand, needs to be massaged properly – massage it for about 10 seconds using small circular movements.

Points against the hormonal evil

Yes, we women don't have it easy. Here and there it can feel as if we are a plaything of our hormones. All the better if there are ways and means of achieving a certain degree of balance on this level.

Menopause

The following points are recommended for the period of hormonal change, i.e. for complaints such as hot flushes, irritability, depression, etc: 7, 85, 87, 127, 156, 0

Painful rule

Two different point sequences are recommended here, try out which works better for you or you can alternate between them:
127, 156, 63, 7, 61, 1, 50, 37, 0 or 37, 7, 113, 0

Rule too strong

If the bleeding is too heavy, the following points are recommended several times a day: 16, 103, 50, 37, 287, 7, 127, 1, 0

Regular irregular

124, 37, 26, 63, 50, 7, 0
If the points do not bring the desired regularity, the following points should also be applied: 124, 34, 8, 0

The zero at the end

To stimulate point 0, place your index finger behind your ear and the rest of your fingers in front of it. Then rub firmly up and down a few times. This point ensures that the energy set in motion is harmonised, so you can’t go wrong.
