1. Zusanli (Stomach 36)
Zusanli is an important acupressure point for health, and regular massage has a good effect. Zusanli belongs to the stomach meridian and is a commonly used acupressure point for treating spleen and stomach diseases. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the body's postnatal essence. The food and water we consume must be transformed and supplied to the whole body through the spleen and stomach. The function of the spleen and stomach in the body is like a food processing factory. If the factory does not work properly and the food supply is insufficient, the body will suffer from hunger, leading to a haggard appearance and dull complexion. Diseases related to the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, urinary system, gynecological diseases, weakness and thinness, and other deficiencies can 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 Zusanli acupressure point is located on the leg. Sit down and find it. Sit upright with your knees at a right angle, place your palm on the same side of your knee, enclose your knee with your fingers except for the thumb, press your shinbone with your index finger, and the tip of your middle finger is the Zusanli point.
Regular massage of this acupressure point has an effect. It is easy to use, just massage it when you have time, without worrying about the technique or the number of massages.
