Many people learned traditional eye exercises during childhood, including the gentle massage of the Sibai acupressure point. This point has long been used in Eastern wellness practices to support eye relaxation and help relieve discomfort caused by prolonged visual strain.
Today, with increasing screen time from computers, smartphones, and digital devices, many people experience tired eyes, eye tension, and the appearance of dark circles. While dark circles can have many causes, one common factor is reduced circulation and fatigue around the delicate eye area.
In traditional Eastern wellness approaches, gentle stimulation of the Sibai point is believed to help relax the muscles around the eyes, encourage local circulation, and support overall eye comfort. Regular massage may become a simple self-care habit for people who spend long hours focusing on screens.
The Sibai point is located on the face, directly below the pupil when looking straight ahead. It can be found in the small depression beneath the lower edge of the eye socket.
To practice gentle acupressure, first relax your face and close your eyes comfortably. Use your fingertips to lightly press the Sibai point. Apply comfortable pressure and massage in small circular movements from the outside toward the inside. The technique is similar to the eye exercises many people learned when they were younger.
A simple routine can be practiced once in the morning and once in the afternoon, spending about two minutes each time. Combined with healthy eye habits, such as taking regular screen breaks, getting enough sleep, and maintaining balanced daily routines, gentle eye massage may help promote relaxation and reduce the feeling of eye fatigue.
Taking care of your eyes is not only about relieving discomfort when problems appear. Building small daily habits can help support long-term eye wellness and a healthier lifestyle.
