Coughing is quite common in daily life, but it can also be very uncomfortable. There are many ways to treat coughing, and massaging acupoints can help relieve coughing. Here, I will introduce a few acupoints for massage to stop coughing.
1. Massage San Jian Acupoint
Sometimes coughing is caused by the upward flow of lung qi. Massaging the San Jian acupoint can help bring the qi down and relieve coughing symptoms.
Method:
1. Make a fist with your right hand and find the wrinkled area of the skin at the tiger's mouth. Follow the wrinkle and push upwards to find the depressed area, which is the San Jian acupoint.
2. Use the fingertip and pad of your thumb to massage.
3. Massage downwards first, then knead. Massage in a clockwise direction about 10 times.
4. Then massage in a counterclockwise direction about 10 times. It may feel slightly sore and swollen during kneading.
2. Massage He Gu Acupoint
Friends who are familiar with health preservation should know that the He Gu acupoint is also known as the "universal acupoint." It has a wide range of therapeutic effects and can be used to treat various conditions. It can be said to "cure all diseases."
Method:
1. Open the tiger's mouth and use the index finger of the other hand to press horizontally at the position of the tiger's mouth. The acupoint that comes into contact with the thumb when it is pressed down is the He Gu acupoint.
2. Massage this acupoint with moderate pressure until a sore sensation is felt. This can help relieve coughing.
3. Massage Tian Tu Acupoint
The Tian Tu acupoint is specifically used to treat coughing. It is commonly used in clinical practice for diseases such as bronchitis, asthma, and throat inflammation. This effective and practical method is worth learning!
Method:
1. Use your thumb to point at the midline of the neck and find the Tian Tu acupoint.
2. Gently massage the Tian Tu acupoint downwards and inwards. Massage clockwise for 10 rounds, then switch to counterclockwise for 10 rounds. Continue until the skin becomes slightly red and the breathing becomes smooth.
