Long-term massage of the Quze point not only helps relieve symptoms such as hand and foot spasms, dizziness, and headaches, but also has a good therapeutic effect on heart disease. Let's learn about the Quze point!
【Massage Benefits of the Quze Point】
The Quze point is the confluent point of the Pericardium Meridian. The common feature of the acupoints 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 gastric discomfort, nausea, and vomiting symptoms.
In addition, long-term pressure on the Quze point has very good therapeutic effects on vomiting, tonic-clonic muscle contractions, hand and foot spasms, chest and heart heat, dizziness, and headaches.
During the massage, the patient should sit upright with palms facing up, arms extended and elbows flexed at a 120-degree angle. Use the other hand to gently grasp the elbow tip, with four fingers on the outside and the thumb bent. Use the fingertips to vertically press the Quze point. The acupoint should feel sore, tingling, and swollen during the pressing. The hands can alternate for pressing, and massage should be done once in the morning and evening, for 1 to 3 minutes each time.
【Clinical Applications of the Quze Point】
Coronary heart disease: 37 patients with angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease were treated with warm moxibustion, and immediate therapeutic effects were obtained. Relevant indicators were measured before moxibustion, 15 minutes after moxibustion, and 5 minutes after moxibustion cessation. The local area of moxibustion was warm and comfortable, and the patient's chest tightness was relieved, and the precordial area felt comfortable. Cardiac function and other parameters improved. It has a certain therapeutic effect on patients with angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease.
Tonic-clonic muscle contractions in the hands and feet: For patients with tonic-clonic muscle contractions in the hands and feet characterized by painful and spasmodic muscle contractions, with accompanying abnormal sensations of numbness, satisfactory therapeutic effects were achieved after acupuncture.
Inhibition of acute ischemic myocardial injury: Acupuncture of the Quze and Geshu points in animals (rabbits) has an inhibitory effect on acute ischemic myocardial injury, and inhibits the development of the injury. It also has an inhibitory effect on the elevation of the ST segment in the electrocardiogram of rabbits. After needling, the ST segment potential value tends to naturally decrease. Compared with the control group, the Quze group has statistical significance.
