Unlocking Baihui: Benefits of the GV20(百会） Acupressure Point

The Baihui point (GV20) (in Japanese we call ” Hyaku-e”) is one of the most important acupressure points in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Located at the top of the head, it is often used to support relaxation, mental clarity, and overall balance.

Because multiple energy pathways (meridians) meet at this point, Baihui is considered a key area for regulating the body’s energy flow.

Where Is the Baihui Point?

The Baihui point is located at the very top of your head.

How to find it:

Place your fingers on the tops of both ears
Imagine a line going upward from each side
Where the lines meet at the top of your head—that is Baihui

You may feel a slight sensitivity or gentle pressure when touching this area.

Benefits of Baihui (GV20)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Baihui is believed to help regulate energy (Qi) and calm the mind.

Commonly associated benefits include:

Reducing stress and tension
Supporting mental clarity and focus
Promoting relaxation and better sleep
Helping balance overall energy flow

It is often used when feeling overwhelmed, mentally fatigued, or emotionally tense.

How to Use Baihui for Self-Care

This point is very easy to stimulate at home.

Simple technique:

Use your fingertips to gently press the top of your head
Apply light pressure for 5–10 seconds
Breathe slowly and deeply
Repeat a few times

Always use gentle pressure—this point should feel calming, not painful.

Best Times

Before sleep to relax the mind
During stressful moments
When feeling mentally foggy or overwhelmed

Even a short moment of awareness can help reset your energy.

Important Notes

Do not press too hard
Avoid if the area is injured or sensitive
This is a wellness practice—not a medical treatment
