Your Temporalis is a powerful muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lower face.
Chronic teeth clenching creates a lot of tension that disrupts your jaw joint over time.
Do this massage before bed to relax and slip into a deep sleep, or in the morning if you feel tense.

Chronically tense muscles constrict your blood vessels.
This type of release work opens up your arteries and veins, which improves circulation in the area.
You feel the effects fast if you hold a lot of tension up there. Your blood flows freely again.

Your Temporalis plugs into your brain through the Deep Temporal Nerves. This connection is important to move your jaw and feel the position of your head.
Excess tension in the area impairs the quality of the communication and worsens the clenching.
