Sleeping disorders, muscle pain, digestive problems – these are the common ‘city syndromes’ experienced by many Hong Kongers.
Instead of taking medication, a growing number of city dwellers now turn to therapies such as facial reflexology, which works by stimulating pressure points on your face that correspond with particular parts of the body, helping you to de-stress and get better sleep.
According to its advocates, facial reflexology is effective because the face has 300 facial points each has specific functions and actions on different aspects of the body and mind.
Consider treating yourself to Dien Chan facial refexology treatment at The Oriental Spa, in which Alex Scrimgeour, a London-based Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, is paying a second visit to the spa due to popular feedback from last year’s visit.

From May 17 to 28, guests can experience the treatment that blends advanced techniques with classical Chinese medicine and bodywork. Tailored to each individual’s needs, the treatment will bring range of potent healing and beauty enhancing effects, such as facial rejuvenation, enhanced quality of sleep, the ability to combat migraines and poor digestion.
The relaxing journey will begin with a short consultation to identify key health issues, followed by specific bodywork and massage that aims to help calm and align the body in preparation for deeper work on the head, neck, and face.
The combination of facial massage techniques and tools will stimulate and open various points and clear away tension from the face and head. Once the facial treatment is completed, a finishing series of bodywork techniques will be conducted to ground the body.
