Because we have many acupoints and functional reflex zones on our hands, we can massage these acupoints or zones by repeatedly clenching fists, thus playing a role in health care, enhancing visceral function and multiplying physical strength.
For example, making a fist often can help accelerate the blood circulation of the hands, and then promote the blood circulation of the upper limbs, so that the blood flow speed of the stomach will also be accelerated, delaying the fatigue of the brain and accelerating the digestion of the stomach. At the same time, frequent clenching can effectively protect the health of blood vessels and enhance the elasticity of blood vessel walls.
Acupoints on the hand:
There are many acupoints on the hand. Take the palm as an example: the palm is located in the middle of the palm, and the midpoint of the line between the palm and the middle finger and the midpoint of the transverse line of the wrist (Daling point) are points, which are located on the third metacarpal bone, counting 2 points from left to right.
There are palmar branches of median nerve in superficial layer and palmar proper nerve of median nerve in deep layer.
