There is a saying in acupuncture and moxibustion that "welcome the incense and treat the nose". "Song of Acupuncture" said, "If you don't smell its fragrance, how can you cure it? Xiang Ying can attack at the second point. "
As the name implies, if there is something wrong with your nose, such as a stuffy nose caused by a cold or allergy, so that you can't smell the fragrance, stimulating Xiang Ying points on both sides of your nose is the most direct and effective auxiliary treatment (if necessary, you must also cooperate with other points such as forehead, top of your head or back of your neck).
Acupoint selection method
Acupoints are generally taken in a sitting or supine position, with eyes looking straight. Points are taken at five points (half the width of the thumb) on both sides of the nostrils (eight-character lines beside the nose when smiling).
Xiang Ying point has an upper point and a lower point. Shangyingxiang is located on both sides of nostril and at the top of nasolabial groove. The lower Xiang Ying's point is located at five points beside the alar, which is in the nasolabial sulcus. Therefore, there is a saying that "five semicolons beside the nose welcome incense".

Stimulation mode
☆ It is more effective to massage incense with forefinger and fingertip, and stimulate it in left and right directions, 1 time 1 minute, and drink 1 cup of hot water after massage.
☆ Massage with the outside of the thumb in a triangular direction along the laugh lines and the sides of the nose. Because the thumb belongs to the lung meridian of Taiyin hand, it has a "yin-yang exterior-interior" relationship with the large intestine meridian of Xiang Ying point, which has a large stimulation range and is worth recommending. 1 time 1 minute, drink 1 cup of hot water after massage.
☆ Hold your hands on your face, put your forefinger and fingertip at Xiang Ying point, and do rotary rubbing. Breathe through the nose, press outward and upward when inhaling, and do it inward and downward 8 times when exhaling, up to 64 times. If you have a cold, runny nose or stuffy nose, do as much as possible.
When the nose is blocked, press the Xiang Ying point, usually the nose should be unobstructed. If it still doesn't work, you can press Tang Yin. Tang Yin point is located in the middle of the left and right eyebrows. Press the middle finger on Tang Yin point, push it up slightly, and then press it down slowly.
After several stimuli, the stuffy nose can disappear. In addition, stimulating the point behind the neck (located in the recess below the hairline behind the neck and ear) is also effective.
Acupuncture method
acupuncture and moxibustion
☆ Straight stab 0. 1-0.2 inch.
☆ Punch 0.5- 1.0 inch inward and upward, which is pungent.
Nasal connection: that is, Xiang Ying point.
Penetrating needling is a needling method in which a filiform needle penetrates into an acupoint and reaches another point (several points) or part along a certain direction.
☆ Punch outward 1.0- 1.5 inch, and punch through at four o'clock.
Matters needing attention
This acupoint is shallow in skin, sensitive to needles and prone to bleeding, so pay attention. The treatment of nasal congestion is blocked, and it can be unblocked with one stab, but sometimes it will be blocked after the needle is lifted.
Mild rhinitis can effectively improve symptoms such as nasal congestion and headache by washing nasal cavity with normal saline twice a day and insisting on massage at the same time.
