White Spot Acupoint
In the human body's acupoints, the White Spot Acupoint is the Earth acupoint of the Earth meridian and the original acupoint of the Spleen meridian. It is an important acupoint for strengthening the spleen and can treat spleen deficiency caused by various reasons. If a person suddenly exercises or lifts heavy objects, it can deplete a lot of their spleen Qi, causing a deficiency of Qi in the muscles. At this time, tapping or massaging the White Spot Acupoint can regulate and dredge the meridian Qi, quickly relieving symptoms such as muscle soreness. This method can also be used to treat local injuries caused by excessive exercise.
