Baihui Acupoint is used to treat diseases such as stroke-induced aphasia, madness, dizziness, nasal congestion, headache, ear ringing, prolapse of rectum, impotence, hemorrhoids, etc.
Location: Baihui Acupoint, also known as "Dianshang" or "Tianman", belongs to the Governing Vessel. In a sitting position, the point is located 1 inch forward from the midpoint of the line connecting the anterior and posterior hairlines. Alternatively, it can be located at the intersection of the line connecting the tips of both ears and the midline of the head.
Regulating Yin and Yang and the Brain
"The brain is the sea of marrow, and its qi is transmitted to the brain through the Baihui Acupoint, and to the Fengfu Acupoint below." Baihui Acupoint is located at the top of the head, closely connected to the brain, and is an acupoint of the Governing Vessel, which belongs to the brain. It is a major acupoint for regulating brain function.
The head is where Yang energy converges in the body, and it is the meeting point of the hundred meridians. Baihui Acupoint is where Yang resides in Yin. Therefore, it not only connects the Yang meridians but also connects the Yin meridians, thereby connecting the whole body and regulating the balance of Yin and Yang, promoting health and preventing diseases.
Emergency Treatment for Hypertensive Crisis
Hypertensive patients often experience sudden increase in blood pressure and develop symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and even blurred vision or blindness under the influence of unfavorable factors. This is known as hypertensive crisis in medical terms. Acupuncture at the Baihui Acupoint can be used to relieve the severe headache caused by hypertensive crisis. If the patient also experiences seizures, acupressure at the Hegu and Renzhong points can be used in combination for treatment.
Massaging Baihui Acupoint to Regulate the Heart and Brain
If you want to improve headaches, you can massage the Baihui Acupoint to improve oxygen content and blood flow in the brain tissue, achieving the effect of promoting circulation and relieving pain. If you want to restore brain cell activity, you can also massage the Baihui Acupoint.
The specific method is as follows: the patient sits down, and the massager presses the Baihui Acupoint with the thumb for 30 seconds. Then, massage in a clockwise direction for 1 minute, followed by counterclockwise massage for 1 minute. Combine with massaging the Queqi, Qianshencong, and Xuanxia points to improve blood rheology indicators and achieve the desired effect. If you want to improve symptoms of stroke, you can massage the Baihui Acupoint and stimulate the Qiantop and Sishencong points to regulate the cortical central bioelectrical activity of hemiplegic patients.
