Zusanli point is mainly used for abdominal diseases, Weizhong point is used for low back pain diseases, Lieque point can treat head and neck diseases, and Hegu point is the focus of facial and oral diseases. Generally speaking, these four points can almost treat systemic diseases. There are two of these four acupoints in the upper limb and two in the lower limb, which are all distributed below the elbow joint and knee joint of the limbs. According to the principle of long-distance acupoint selection in Chinese medicine, it can be used to treat head, face and trunk diseases.
Hegu point is the original point of the Ming large intestine meridian in Shouyang, and it is the place where the large intestine meridian and qi live together. It is located between the first metacarpal bone and the second metacarpal bone of the back of the hand, at the intersection of metacarpal extension angles.
As long as there is gastrointestinal discomfort, head and face diseases, it is right to press Hegu point first for whatever reason. Hand Yangming large intestine meridian starts from the upper limb, reaches the outside of the upper limb, then passes through the neck, goes up to the head and ends at the nostril, so all head and face diseases can be treated at Hegu point. This is very different from western medicine's "treating headache and treating foot pain". Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the holistic view. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the disease in one part is probably caused by problems in other places.
Zusanli acupoint is one of the most health-care acupoints, which has a high popularity among the people and is also a commonly used acupoint for doctors to treat diseases. Because Zusanli point can not only dredge meridians, dispel wind and remove dampness, but also strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish qi and generate blood, which has a good role in disease prevention and health care. Zusanli point has a wide range of indications, from the upper treatment of head and face diseases and respiratory diseases to the lower treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction and reproductive organs diseases.
It belongs to the acupoint on the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, just below the knee. When the knee joint is bent at right angles, the lower four fingers of the depression below the kneecap are Zusanli.
As the saying goes, "if you want to be safe, it is often not three miles." "Don't do it often" is to keep Zusanli point moist. Focus on the skin. How to keep moist? It is moxibustion. In the eyes of the ancients, moxibustion at Zusanli point three times a day has a better health care effect than eating an old hen every day, so there is a saying that moxibustion at Zusanli point is often worse than eating an old hen.
Weizhong point is the joint point on the bladder meridian of the foot sun, where the qi of the meridians meets the bladder, and the qi of the meridians is relatively strong. Therefore, the Committee has a strong effect of relaxing muscles and activating collaterals, expelling wind and promoting blood circulation, and clearing away heat and toxic materials. Weizhong point is in the center of the wrinkles at the back of the knee.
Almost all the meridians on the back are occupied by the bladder meridian, so Weizhong point has a wide range of treatment, especially an important point for treating low back pain. All low back diseases can be treated by Weizhong point, and doctors of past dynasties will also use it to treat weakness, soreness and acute spasm of lower limbs.
Lieque point is the "collateral" point of the lung meridian of hand Taiyin, which is caused by the qi of this meridian. It is also one of the intersection points of eight veins, which runs through Renmai and Shouyangming large intestine meridian. Therefore, the range of diseases that can be treated is very wide, which can not only dispel wind, relieve exterior symptoms, relieve sore throat and reduce swelling, but also solve various miscellaneous diseases such as tooth, genital pain and enuresis. No matter where the three meridians are sick, they can be used to cooperate with treatment.
Among them, Lieque point has the most obvious effect on exogenous headache. In daily life, if you have neck diseases such as headache, cervical spondylosis and stiff neck, you can knead the missing acupoints to relieve the pain, but if the pain persists, you should go to the hospital for treatment.
