Yintang = Located on the bridge of the nose between the eyes, firmly massaging this point can help dampen the sympathetic nervous system and promote the parasympathetic nervous system. Think less “flight or fight” and more “rest and digest”. Many patients who have this maneuver performed on them will visibly relax and sometimes enter an almost trance-like state. Use this point whenever your pet acts stressed or anxious - noise aversions such as fireworks, during bouts of illness, change in environment such as moving or traveling, new additions to the household, visits to the veterinarian, etc.
