One little point, so many amazing reasons to use it. Governor Vessel 20 (also known as Du 20), is found at the top of the head, inline with the tips of the ears. Among other things, you can use this point for a headache, to clear your mind because of overthinking, to increase memory, to resolve hemorrhoids, AND counteract depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was in college, it was very common to see students walking around with a needle coming out of the top of their head, kind of like a species from outer space! They were using Governor Vessel 20 to both clear their minds and to increase memory at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A massage on this point is WONDERFUL! If I was going to pick a point that nearly everyone should have during treatment this is the one. Who does’t need a treatment to clear their mind, sharpen their memory and perpetuate happiness? Besides that, it just feels good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chakra Connection: Governor Vessel 20 matches the location for the crown chakra. The crown chakra represents the pathway to be fully connected on a spiritual level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
