Chinese medicine emphasizes that pain in the Quze acupuncture point should be taken seriously. Quze is the combined acupuncture point of the Pericardium meridian, which surrounds the heart and has the function of replacing the heart to receive external pathogenic factors and carry out the heart's commands. Therefore, it can regulate the meridians and collaterals. Massage and manipulation of Quze acupuncture point is mysterious and has unique methods for treating diseases. What are the benefits of massaging the Quze acupuncture point?
What causes pain in the Quze acupuncture point?
Some people, when pressing the shendao point below the fifth thoracic vertebrae and the Xinshu points on both sides, do not have obvious tender points. When examining the Heart Meridian and Pericardium Meridian, they scream in pain when lightly pressing on the Quze acupuncture point, which is the problem. The Pericardium Meridian is blocked at Quze.
There are two places where the Pericardium Meridian is most likely to be blocked, and one is the blockage point of the Pericardium Meridian, which is about one-third of the distance near Quze between the Quze acupuncture point and the Tianquan acupuncture point.
Quze is the combined acupuncture point of the Pericardium Meridian. If there is a problem with the Pericardium, it can be reflected on the combined acupuncture point, and the effect of treating the combined acupuncture point is very good. It is recommended to use moxibustion or massage as soon as possible until there is no pain. It is also recommended to massage or tap the Heart Meridian and Pericardium Meridian every day.
If the Pericardium Meridian is blocked for a long time, angina pectoris and myocardial infarction will inevitably follow, and the consequences are very serious. Therefore, it is necessary to pay high attention to the pain in Quze and the blockage point of the Pericardium Meridian, and ensure that there are no tender points on the Heart Meridian and Pericardium Meridian in normal times.
