The spleen meridian is an important acupuncture point for treating the stomach

The full name of the spleen meridian is the spleen meridian of the foot Taiyin. It is a meridian and one of the important acupoints in the human body. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, mainly helping the gastrointestinal tract to digest and absorb, excrete some waste, and absorb nutrients. Many people suffer from gastrointestinal problems due to irregular diet, but do not want to take medicine. It does not matter, we have a way, and this method is related to what this article talks about. Next, I will focus on explaining the method of using the acupoints of the spleen meridian in traditional Chinese medicine to treat the gastrointestinal tract.

Open the nasal passages - Yinbai point.

Yinbai is the first acupuncture point of the spleen meridian. The greatest effect of this acupoint is to stop bleeding. It can be used more often to treat bleeding diseases such as gastrointestinal bleeding, bleeding gums, and nosebleeds. The method is moxibustion, using moxa sticks to moxibustion each acupoint for 15 minutes every day.

Secondly, Yinbai point can also open the nasal passages. Friends with allergic rhinitis can pinch and press this point to relieve symptoms.
