Like jade's moisture and silk's softness, which woman doesn't want her face to always be fair, delicate, and radiant? Don't worry, we all have a few "bodyguard" acupoints for beauty and skincare. By using them properly, your beauty will naturally and lastingly shine through the changing years.
The 1st Acupoint - Zusanli
Zusanli can be considered as the top "bodyguard" for women's beauty. Why? Zusanli belongs to the Stomach Meridian and is a commonly used acupoint for treating diseases of the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the acquired essence. The food and water we consume must be digested and transformed by the spleen and stomach into nutrients for the whole body. The role of the spleen and stomach in the body is like a food processing factory. If the factory doesn't work properly and food supply is insufficient, the body will suffer from hunger, resulting in a haggard appearance and dull complexion. Diseases related to the respiratory, cardiovascular, urinary systems, gynecological issues, weakness, and insufficiency can all be caused by poor spleen and stomach function. Therefore, any health problems caused by inadequate spleen and stomach function can be treated and maintained with Zusanli. The human body is like a skyscraper, and the spleen and stomach are its foundation. With a strong foundation of the spleen and stomach, one's health will be solid. Zusanli is the intimate "bodyguard" of the spleen and stomach, so ladies who desire beauty must make good use of Zusanli.
Where is Zusanli located? You can find it while sitting. Sit up straight with your knees at a right angle. Place your palm on the same side of the knee, with the palm surrounding the upper edge of the knee. All four fingers, except the thumb, should point downwards. Use your index finger to press against the tibia below the knee, and the tip of your middle finger is Zusanli.
This acupoint is very useful. Just massage it when you have free time, and you don't need to pay attention to the massage technique and frequency. It can also be used for moxibustion. Buy a moxa stick, ignite it, and hold the burning end close to Zusanli, about 3 centimeters away from the skin. Keep it warm enough for the skin in that area. Moxibustion can be done for about 15 minutes each time and can be performed regularly.
The 2nd Acupoint - Xuehai
For women, blood is essential. If you want a peach blossom-like face, you must nourish and supplement your blood. How do you do that? In addition to paying attention to daily diet and nutrition to ensure the supply of substances for blood production, you can also make full use of acupoints, and Xuehai is a star for nourishing and supplementing blood. Xuehai belongs to the Spleen Meridian, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen governs blood. This acupoint is where blood gathers and controls various blood-related diseases. When you are healthy, the effect of nourishing and supplementing blood is self-evident.
How do you find Xuehai? It is on the inner side of the thigh, 2 inches above the inner end of the patella. When locating the acupoint, lie on your back on the bed and straighten your thigh and calf muscles. Two inches above the inner edge of the patella, there is a bulging muscle. The middle point of this muscle is Xuehai.
How do you use Xuehai? The simplest way is self-massage. Just massage it frequently when you have free time.
The 3rd Acupoint - Taixi
First, let's take a look at the name Taixi. "Tai" means big or many, and "xi" means stream. Together, it means there is a lot of stream. What's the benefit of this for women's beauty? Isn't there a saying that goes, "Women are made of water"? To have tender and moist skin, water nourishment is essential. Taixi is an important acupoint in the body that provides a "source of water".
Among the body's organs, the Kidney is related to water and stores essence. If the Kidney is deficient, the water in the body won't be enough to control the fire. Excessive heart fire can lead to problems such as insomnia, excessive internal heat, thirst, constipation, dry skin, and dull complexion. In terms of beauty, it is impossible without water nourishment. Taixi is the original acupoint of the Kidney Meridian, like a warehouse that stores kidney qi. If the body lacks kidney qi, it can be allocated from the warehouse. Therefore, for beauty, Taixi is essential. In addition, Taixi is also a major acupoint for replenishing vitality. By frequently using Taixi, the body's vitality will be abundant, and the overall physical condition will improve.
Taixi is easy to locate. It is on the inner side of the foot, behind the ankle. The depression between the Achilles tendon and the tip of the inner ankle is Taixi.
The usage method of Taixi is also simple, either massage or moxibustion with a moxa stick. Just massage it frequently when you have free time, or use a moxa stick for 15 minutes. Regular moxibustion will naturally replenish kidney qi and give you a rosy and tender complexion.
The 4th Acupoint - Shenmen
As the name suggests, Shenmen is an important acupoint for nourishing the heart and calming the mind. Shenmen belongs to the Heart Meridian, and traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart governs the spirit. Any health problems related to the spirit can be treated with Shenmen. Shenmen is the original acupoint of the Heart Meridian, and its role is similar to a warehouse that stores heart qi. Modern women face high work pressure and often have issues related to the spirit, such as insomnia, forgetfulness, and irritability. Over time, they will become mentally fatigued, and their appearance will be haggard. What should they do? Nourish the heart and calm the mind. This is when Shenmen, the "bodyguard" acupoint, comes into play.
Where is Shenmen located? It is on the wrist, at the protruding round bone on the side of the palm. When you move towards the back edge of the bone, you can feel a large tendon. The outer edge of this tendon is Shenmen.
Shenmen can be stimulated through massage or moxibustion. Just massage it frequently when you have free time, or use a moxa stick for 15 minutes. By frequently using Shenmen, the heart qi will be abundant, and the complexion will be rosy and tender.
