When you were younger, did you ever have someone slip an ice cube down your back on a hot summer day? If probably chilled you and cooled you off, right?
Well, there’s a similar trick that you can do on purpose, that can help you feel rejuvenated and refreshed.
It’s called Feng Fu. It’s the name for the back of the neck, a point in Chinese acupuncture that translates roughly to “wind shelter.” It’s a spot on the back of your neck, right where the base of your head and your neck meet, that can help you with problems such as:

It’s also great for fighting disease, as it can reduce your risk of cardiovascular and lung diseases and can even cure colds.
This isn’t just a treatment, it’s a full body rejuvenation.
So how do you do it?
There are a few ways to do it, and it’s best if you try to figure out which one works for you. One way is to place an ice cube at the Feng Fu point for only a few seconds on a daily basis. Another recommended way is to lie on your stomach and leave the ice cube at the Feng Fu point for half an hour. Then you’re to repeat this several times per week, with a day or two in between each rejuvenation.
So try out a bunch of different methods and see which one makes you feel revitalized! If you do this, you can reap all of the benefits of this ancient technique.
