Optimizing Therapeutic Effects: The Overlooked Role of Breathing in Acupoint Therapy

January 17, 2024

Acupoint therapy, the most easily overlooked is breathing. It seems that few people know: stimulating acupoints during exhalation can achieve the best therapeutic effect.


During inhalation, the muscles contract and become stiff. At this time, even if acupressure is applied, it will only cause pain, and the stimulation itself will not be effectively transmitted. On the contrary, during exhalation, the muscles relax and become soft. At this time, if stimulation is applied, there is less pain and better transmission of the stimulus, making it a very effective "stimulation".

Therefore, when stimulating acupoints, please coordinate with the frequency of breathing.
