Legs have so many other uses besides walking.

According to legend, during the Tokugawa Shogunate period in Japan, there was an old man in Edo who lived to be 174 years old. His wife was 173 years old, his son was 153 years old, and his grandson was 105 years old. Everyone is in good spirits and walks briskly. When asked about the secret of longevity, he said: My ancestors passed down the tradition of moxibustion on the Zusanli acupoint on the eighth day of every month, without fail, that's all.

I once asked Teacher Xiyan, if you could only choose one acupoint for massage and health care, which one would you choose? Teacher Xiyan replied that it was Zusanli. Why is Zusanli so good? Teacher Xiyan mentioned two aspects.

First of all, Zusanli is a beauty acupuncture point. If you want your skin to look good and youthful, you should massage or moxibustion Zusanli frequently. Because the human stomach meridian runs through the entire face from both sides, to see whether a person's stomach is healthy, just look at whether there are many crow's feet under the corners of the eyes. If there are many, the person's spleen and stomach function is not good. My experience is that after massaging the Zusanli acupoint for a few days, your face will be more radiant than before.

On the other hand, Zusanli is also a longevity acupoint. The spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired constitution. If the spleen and stomach function well, people will naturally live a long life. In fact, it is more than that, Zusanli is also a major hub acupuncture point in the human body. According to legend, during the Tokugawa Shogunate period in Japan, there was an old man in Edo who lived to be 174 years old. His wife was 173 years old, his son was 153 years old, and his grandson was 105 years old. Everyone is in good spirits and walks briskly. When asked about the secret of longevity, he said: My ancestors passed down the tradition of moxibustion on the Zusanli acupoint on the eighth day of every month, without fail, that's all. In the cold northern Japan, everyone likes to use moxibustion on Zusanli as a method to nourish the body and prolong life. There are sayings such as "Do not associate with those who do not use moxibustion on Zusanli" and "Do not travel without using moxibustion on Zusanli". In fact, moxibustion on Zusanli was introduced to Japan from China. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the famous doctor Sun Simiao proposed: "If you want to be at peace, keep Sanli acupoint moist." He himself often used moxibustion on Zusanli and easily lived to be over 100 years old. This is exactly the scar moxibustion advocated by ancient health practitioners, which can make moxibustion scars last for a long time and can promote health care and longevity.

How to massage the Zusanli acupoint? The Zusanli acupoint is located on the anterior and lateral side of the lower leg, 3 inches below the outer kneecap, and one horizontal finger (middle finger) away from the anterior edge of the tibia. Moxibustion can be used for massage of Zusanli. If you are afraid of trouble and want to operate it more simply, you can massage with one hand while watching TV, attending meetings, or chatting. It is very convenient. It would be better if you use a massage stick.

Sometimes fitness and health care are as simple as that. There is no need to spend money on cosmetics and health products. You can have beauty and longevity through a small acupoint.
