EXT-13 - Hairline Ridge
发际 - Fà jì
Point Region: Head
EXT-13, or 'Faji' (meaning 'Hairline'), is a local point located on the forehead. Its name refers to its position on the 'hairline,' where it can address issues related to the head and hair.
As a local point, Faji is primarily used for issues related to the head and neck, such as a headache, dizziness, and a sense of 'stuckness' in the head. It is a go-to point for 'clearing heat' and 'regulating' the flow of energy in the head and neck. By stimulating this point, you can help to restore a sense of balance and harmony to the entire body.
Faji acts as a vital access point to the core of the body, providing a direct and effective way to address blockages and restore a sense of comfort and vitality to the upper body. It's a reminder of the power of local points to provide targeted relief and restore a sense of comfort and vitality to the entire body.
