【Three acupoints for improving male vitality】

1. Zusanli (Stomach 36)

Zusanli is located 4 finger-widths below the knee on the outside of the knee. It is named after its ability to treat various abdominal disorders and is one of the nine acupuncture points for revitalizing the body. Massaging Zusanli can invigorate the spleen and stomach and tonify the middle energizer. It has similar effects to herbs such as Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Dioscorea opposita, and jujube.

2. Sanyinjiao (Spleen 6)

Sanyinjiao is located 4 finger-widths above the inner ankle. It is an acupuncture point on the Spleen Meridian of Foot Taiyin and is named after its function as the intersection of the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney meridians. As the liver stores blood, the spleen governs blood, and the kidneys store essence, the combination of essence and blood is essential for treating blood-related disorders. It has similar effects to herbs such as Angelica sinensis, donkey-hide gelatin, Ligustrum lucidum, and coix seed.

3. Shenmen (Heart 7)

Shenmen is located at the depression above the transverse wrist crease on the ulnar aspect. It is the original acupuncture point of the Heart Meridian of the Hand Shaoyin and is known as the "gateway" for the circulation of vital energy. It has a calming and sedative effect on the mind and tonifies the heart qi. It has similar effects to herbs such as sour jujube seed and biota seed. It can also clear the mind and open the orifices, similar to Chinese herbal medicines like Zixuedan, Acorus tatarinowii, and amber.
