There are 6 meridians in the hands that connect with various organs, tissues, and organs throughout the body, with approximately 99 acupoints that reflect the health of the five zang organs and six fu organs. Massaging or pressing these acupoints can alleviate almost all diseases in the body. The thumb corresponds to the lung meridian; the index finger corresponds to the large intestine meridian, reflecting the condition of the stomach, intestines, and digestive organs; the middle finger corresponds to the pericardium meridian, reflecting the condition of the sensory organs and liver; the ring finger corresponds to the triple energizer meridian, reflecting the condition of the lungs and respiratory system; and the little finger corresponds to the heart and small intestine meridians, reflecting the condition of the kidneys and circulatory system.
The spleen meridian is located in the tip of the thumb. Rotating and pushing the tip of the thumb in a clockwise direction can tonify the spleen; pushing from the tip to the base of the thumb can clear heat. Both methods are collectively called spleen meridian massage, which can treat children's diarrhea, constipation, and loss of appetite, among other conditions.
