A lot has been written here on my website about Dien Cham, the Vietnamese facial reflex massage. If you want to read my book "Chi instead of Botox" knows or my course who knows or even practises the method themselves. In Vietnam, this massage is used to treat ailments. Over the years, however, it has been discovered that people who do this are almost completely spared wrinkles. But who can tell us first-hand? My blogger friend Ursula. You'll also find a simple video tutorial below on how to practise Dien Cham without knowing the exact points.
When I was researching for my book, I came across all sorts of adventurous methods with big promises. I wanted my book to only include methods that really help. No hocus-pocus. In the end, the finalists were Facial yogacupping and facial scraping and Dien Cham. At that time, Dien Cham was virtually unknown here. It was difficult to find someone who could initiate you into the secrets and arts of this method. That is now slowly changing and I am pleased about that.
Dien Cham - the wrinkle killer in the long term
While facial yoga and Chinese facial massages bring about an immediate or at least very rapid improvement in facial skin, Dien Cham is a method that does not have an immediate visible effect. It has a noticeable effect - those who use it to treat their complaints sometimes feel an immediate improvement. The points are so effective that I have to avoid one of them because it has too strong an effect on me. During our last detox week, when we had to go without coffee, we realised that 4 Dien Cham points are a wonderful substitute for coffee and instantly perk you up. But if you practise Dien Cham to get rid of wrinkles or prevent them, you need to be patient.
I am all the more pleased to be able to introduce you to a woman who has been practising the simplest and quickest form of Dien Cham massage (video instructions below) for years and now, at over 50 years of age, realises that she has been almost completely spared wrinkles. She started doing this because she suffered for many years from severe discomfort caused by chronic sinusitis and was looking for a solution. She did not want to be dependent on medication. Dien Cham seemed to her to be a way that could be tried.
Get rid of discomfort & wrinkles
In addition to the treatment of the individual points, there is a set of 12 exercises that can be used as a kind of energy massage for health prophylaxis. You don't need to know the points and you don't need any special instruments. Ursula has favoured this massage for years. She rarely gets sinusitis these days and when she does, it can usually be treated without medication. And the side effect can now be seen after several years of use - Ursula's face is truly wrinkle-free at over 50. Read for yourself:
„Reflexology as a fountain of youth„
Ursula and I realised that we had attended the same Dien Cham course with the same masseuse a year apart. Coincidences do happen! Whoever Online course or my book has detailed instructions on the points and several massage options. For everyone else, as well as for Ursula's blog, I have decided to create a video with instructions for the pointless energy massage. You can use it as a health prophylaxis or as an investment in a good appearance.
Quote from Ursula: "I enjoy the fact that you can do the energising facial massage with just your own fingers every morning. I don't have to run around fetching or pulling out anything, but can start in bed as soon as I wake up. It helps on many levels, is inexpensive and I don't have to have my face rubbed in by anyone I don't know."
Dien Cham in my blog
If you would prefer a massage with points, you are welcome to read this article by me: „Dien Chan and the secret of youth: Dr Ngoc Levan tells the story„. There you will also find points for staying young for longer, which the Dien Cham doctor Dr Levan compiled for me. These are also not included in the only Dien Cham book on the market. If you are looking for points for a better hormone balance - which also has an effect on your appearance - you can read this article: „Dien Cham points for a better hormone balance„.

Hello dear Christina
How often PR day/week do you have to perform the Dien Cham massage against wrinkles to achieve an improvement? Kind regards Monika
Dear Monika,
Everyone reacts differently to Dien Cham - for some people the massage works so well that once a week is enough, for others it needs to be done more often. It is a reflex massage, so it is best to follow your body's feedback and how you feel. Unfortunately, this one method is so individual that general recommendations are very difficult.
Best regards,
Christina
