In Traditional Chinese Medicine, LI4 (Hegu) is known as the command point for the head and face.
Which means… if it’s happening up here 🧠
this is one of the first points we reach for.
🌿 Think:
✨ brain fog
✨ tension headaches
✨ sinus pressure
✨ heavy, foggy head
✨ jaw tightness
LI4 moves Qi.
And when Qi isn’t moving properly to the head…
you don’t feel clear, focused, or like yourself.
🧠 From a neuro perspective:
This point sits over branches of the radial nerve, sending sensory input back to the brain that can:
• modulate pain pathways
• reduce muscle tension
• increase circulation to the head
Translation?
👉 less pressure
👉 more clarity
👉 nervous system shift out of that “stuck” feeling
✨ In TCM: it clears the head and moves stagnation
✨ In modern terms: it helps your brain and body reset
⚠️ Avoid during pregnancy
Try 30–60 seconds, both sides.
Because sometimes it’s not that you need more coffee…
You need things to move.
Not medical advice 🥰
