Chinese Reflexology Point for the Nose

The Nose reflexology point is located on the edge of the big toe, right where the sole meets the skin.  It’s beside your toenail, just above the toe knuckle.

You’ve got a nose point on both of your big toes. The left toe corresponds to the right side of your nose and the right toe corresponds to the left side of your nose.

Yup, that’s confusing, but that’s how your body’s energy meridians work. They cross over at the neck.

This point will help harmonize the energy in your nose region, that’s affected by sneezing and mucous.  Primarily, the benefit of this point is for symptom relief as your nose is merely the vessel for the mucous to pass through and not the root cause of the mucous.  But, if your nose is bugging the hell out of you, this point is worth massaging, especially in tandem with the reflexology point for sinuses.

To massage this point, you’re going to go back to the crushing oregano metaphor, but you’ll switch hands. Use your right hand for your left toe and left hand for your right toe.  Grasp and support the toe with your index finger and rub side to side with your thumb.  It’ll be like you’re rubbing from the toenail to the toe pad back and forth, back and forth. Do this for 30 seconds for each foot.
