What Is The Meisch Temple

The Meisch Temple Massager is a uniquely simple massage device that is designed to give you a targeted, pleasurable, stress reducing temple massage. A built-in aromatherapy pad deepens the massage experience by releasing your chosen aroma (we offer several pure, organic aromatherapy oils to choose from on our Products Page).

This page deals with the overall view of how the Meisch Temple Massager works. If you want directions on how to exactly use the temple massager, please go to our Instructions Page where you will find step by step instructions.

For the possible relief and prevention of Tinnitus, Bruxism, TMD and Migraine headaches it is recommended in medical literature to keep the facial muscles relaxed and to achieve this relaxed state medical literature recommends massaging the facial muscles. They are the Masseter, temporalis and related eye musculature. With the Temple Massager you are training your facial muscles to relax.
Ask yourself? Why is the Temple Massager better than using my hands? Answer, when self massaging you are holding the weight of your arms and hands, this creates tension in the shoulders and up into the back of the neck and into the scalp. The Temple Massager relieves 80-90% of the energy expended and without the tension build up into the scalp.

It is an automatic reflex for people to massage their temples when they have a headache. Often people will massage their temples when trying to relax and/or focus on task. One reason this is such an automatic reaction is because the temples (the region just behind and to the side of your eyes) is where the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve come together in an area called the Gasserion ganglion. It is a very sensitive area. The trigeminal nerve carries information from the eyes, ears, facial sensations, muscle tension and much more to the brain. From the Gasserion ganglion, a nerve bundle goes directly to the brain stem. From the brain stem, it is a short jump to the brain where all the information is processed. It's no wonder people automatically reach to massage their temples when they feel stressed or have a headache.

The Meisch Temple Massager is designed to massage the temple region. The reversible massage tips are designed to provide either a general massage or a more pointed, direct massage. And don't confine your massage just to your temples... you are free to stray and massage back near your ears, along the jaw line (where muscle tension often increases in times of stress), and where ever you find pleasure and relaxation using the temple massager.

It is probably no coincidence that the word "temple" has dual meanings. The temples we automatically massage to find relaxation, focus and relief from stress related pains would seem to related to temples we build to find peace, relaxation, focus and spirituality. Since ancient times in China, "halls of healing" have been built adjacent to the religious temples, and massage was (and still is) part of an established means of both healing and preventing ill-health. The practice of massage for health in temple settings has been found in ancient Egypt and Greece. Even today in Japan and Europe (and now in North America) massage is recognized as a health maintaining and health restoring method.
