The Quze point is the confluent point of the pericardium meridian. The common characteristic of the points on the pericardium meridian is that they can all treat heart-related diseases. The Quze point is particularly effective in treating heart disease patients with stomach discomfort, nausea, and vomiting symptoms.
In addition, long-term pressure on the Quze point has very good therapeutic effects on symptoms such as vomiting, tonic-clonic muscle contractions, limb spasms, chest and heart heat, dizziness, and headache.
During the massage, the patient should sit upright with palms facing up, extend the arm and bend the elbow to form a 120-degree angle between the elbow joint and the forearm. Use the other hand to lightly grasp the elbow tip, with the four fingers on the outside and the thumb bent. Use the fingertips to press the Quze point vertically. There should be a sore, tingling, and distended sensation at the point during the massage. The hands can alternate between each other for pressing. Massage once in the morning and evening, for 1-3 minutes each time.
