Functions of Quze Acupoint
In the theory of the Five Elements, the Pericardium Meridian belongs to the element of fire, while the Quze acupoint belongs to the element of water. Therefore, massaging this acupoint regularly has the function of clearing the heart and reducing fire, relieving restlessness and calming the mind.
