Based on traditional practices, the Sun Point (Tai Yang) is identified as a pressure point that can help improve memory and concentration.
Understanding the Sun Point (Tai Yang)
The Sun Point, also known as Tai Yang in acupuncture, is a specific acupressure point recognized for its potential benefits related to cognitive function and stress relief.
Location
According to information on this pressure point, the Sun Point (Tai Yang) is located:
- About 1.5 inches away from your eyebrows.
- Found in the depression of your temples.
You can usually find this point by feeling for a slight dip on the side of your head, roughly an inch and a half behind the outer edge of your eyebrow.
How to Apply Pressure
Applying pressure to the Sun Point is a simple process that can be done anytime you feel the need to improve focus or alleviate tension.
Method:
- Use your fingertips (often the index or middle finger) to apply slight pressure to the Sun Point on both temples simultaneously.
- Maintain this pressure for 2-3 minutes.

- Provide relief from dizziness
- Help with headaches
This simple technique can be a quick way to refresh your mind and ease tension, potentially boosting cognitive functions like memory and concentration.
