Acupuncture can be very helpful in many cases. A specialist reveals that, in addition to drug treatments, the technique can also bear fruit in decongesting the nose while the flu is still raging in France. We explain!
Headaches, sore throats, flu-like illnesses and a stuffy nose are symptoms of the flu that is still raging in France and for which we have not yet reached the peak of the epidemic. It is difficult to escape the traditional nasal congestion caused by the disease, which can cause real discomfort or even difficulty breathing for some, especially if both nostrils are affected! If colds, flu or other seasonal illnesses can be the cause, other pathologies can also be the cause, such as a deviation of the nasal septum, allergic rhinitis or even sinus polyposis.
Although drug treatments or nasal irrigation are usually effective for nasal congestion, it is also possible to use a gentler medication, acupuncture. A specialist will show you the points to press on your head and face to help you breathe better. But be careful, these techniques only prove effective if done well. So a quick overview!

The five points to press
Decongestion of the nose using acupuncture can be effective, but be careful, as the specialist notes, in certain cases it is completely useless. If you have a cold, sinus problems (e.g. sinusitis), or chronic rhinitis, the technique may be useful for you, but in other situations you won’t find what you need: “This is particularly the case in people who have nasal congestion due to a very pronounced deviation of the nasal septum, as well as in people with very serious corneal diseases for whom surgical intervention may be recommended.», explains Marie-Yolaine Gaget.
For everyone else, here are the five most important points to consider:
- The Large Intestine Meridian 20, which is located at the lower corner of the nostrils. By pressing each side several times for a few seconds, your nose will usually clear shortly afterward.
- The bladder meridian, which finds its two points at the inner tip of both eyes. To do this, you have to work on these points by massaging a point in the middle, which is called the third eye and is part of the controlling vessel, which is also interesting for cleansing the sinuses,” explains the specialist.
- The stomach meridian, which lies just below the eye, slightly deeper than the maxillary sinus.
- The gallbladder meridian, located just above the brow bone at the outer corner of the eye
- Finally, the governor’s vessel, which draws a line from the forehead that runs in a straight line through the hair to the nose and then to the chin. You must then press on the highest point of the skull, exactly at the level of the closure of the fontanelles.
