【Location of Quze Point】

Quze point is located in the front area of the elbow, above the elbow transverse crease, in the depression on the ulnar side of the biceps tendon. It can be found when the palm is facing up and the elbow is slightly flexed.
【Causes of Stomach Pain】
1. Invasion of external pathogens into the stomach
When external cold, dampness, or heat pathogens invade the stomach, they can block the Qi circulation in the stomach area, leading to pain. Cold pathogens are the most common cause.
2. Diet-induced stomach injury
Imbalanced diet, excessive hunger or fullness can damage the spleen and stomach, causing stagnation of stomach Qi and resulting in pain.
3. Emotional disturbances
Excessive worry, sadness, anger, and frustration can damage the liver and spleen. When the liver fails to regulate the Qi properly, it can rebel against the stomach, and when the spleen fails to function properly, it can cause stagnation of stomach Qi and lead to stomach pain.
4. Spleen deficiency
The spleen and stomach are responsible for digestion and absorption of food. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the digestive function will be compromised, leading to poor Qi circulation or insufficient yang energy in the middle burner, resulting in coldness in the stomach and stomach pain.
