TMJ - clenching Teeth

Clenching or grinding your teeth is a classical stress response (Qi Stagnation); Especially when you are asleep, your body tries to – literally – chew your problems away. So, work on this Qi Stagnation! There are some amazing local and distal acupuncture points that can help relieve that Stagnation. You can enhance that treatment with a Qi-moving herbal formula.

But also: massage your face, learn your areas of pain, put some oil on your fingertips, and gently massage your masseter muscle (the big muscle on your jaw) while slowly opening and closing your mouth. You will find several other pain points surrounding your temporomandibular joint. Losen them up regularly. Increase your exercising to release some of your pent-up energy, and drink water with lemon or apple cider vinegar.
