Fish border point is an important acupoint in the palm of the human body, belonging to the lung meridian. There are two types of fish border points, the large fish border point and the small fish border point. Let's take a look at the accurate location of the large fish border point and the benefits of massaging it.
The accurate location: The large fish border point is located on the front of the palm, at the base of the thumb, extending down to the palm root. This area is rich in muscles and can be clearly seen when the palm is spread open.
1. Treating constipation
Massaging the fish border point of the lung meridian can help clear heat from the intestines, relieve dryness, and promote bowel movements.
The method of massaging the large fish border point: Use the thumb of one hand to vigorously rub the large fish border point of the other hand. It should feel warm during the massage. Rub for 5 minutes each time, and then switch hands to rub the large fish border point of the other hand. It is best to do this massage before defecation (scheduled defecation), as it is more effective in relieving and treating constipation.
2. Preventing colds
Regularly massaging this acupoint can help relieve surface symptoms, soothe the throat, and dissolve phlegm. It also has a significant effect on early symptoms of colds, such as sore throat and sneezing.
The method of massaging the large fish border point: Press both hands together, and the "large fish border points" of both hands should be in contact during the rubbing. Rub until both hands feel warm. You can also keep one hand still while rubbing the other hand.
Then, rub both hands alternately for 1 to 2 minutes, and the palms will become warm. This can promote blood circulation in the "large fish border point," clear meridians, strengthen the respiratory system, resist cold virus invasion, and improve immunity.
3. Boosting immunity

The method of massaging the large fish border point: Match the tiger's mouth of the left and right hands, and use the thumb of the right hand to knead the large fish border point of the left hand (below the thumb, where the muscles protrude). Knead until the palm feels warm, and then switch to knead the large fish border point of the right hand with the thumb of the left hand. Massage like this 2-3 times a day.
4. Improving heart function
The method of massaging the large fish border point: If you suddenly experience palpitations, angina, or chest tightness and discomfort, immediately use the fingertips of your thumb to pinch and knead the large fish border point. Pinch and knead it forcefully nine times, preferably with the thumb upside down, using this strong stimulation to relieve pressure on the heart.
Using the method of massaging the large fish border point for first aid is like taking six heart-saving pills.
