Feeling uncomfortable and stuffy in the chest: massage Guanchong acupoint

Many people feel uncomfortable, chest tightness, or a feeling of being blocked in the heart due to some emotional things in life. So how can they relieve the chest tightness and blockage? Is it useful to rub the Guanchong acupoint?

Guanchong point is the first acupuncture point on the Sanjiao meridian. This acupoint is very small, and it will only be effective if you pinch it with your fingernails or press it with your knuckles. It is the place where the triple burner meridian releases air. If you feel depressed, you should rub the Guanchong acupoint more to release the anger. Especially when you are upset but can't tell where you feel uncomfortable, you should massage the Guanchong acupoint to disperse the anger inside.

In fact, there are many uncomfortable places in the human body, the most important of which is the stomach and intestines where foul air often accumulates. That is why we always emphasize the importance of pushing the abdomen frequently. After pushing the abdomen, burping and farting a few times, the qi and blood will flow smoothly immediately. Once the Qi and blood flow smoothly, the disease cannot stay in the body.

Guanchong point can treat motion sickness. Rubbing the Guanchong acupoint when you feel motion sickness is usually very effective. Motion sickness is caused by the rising of foul gas in the stomach, but it can be relieved immediately by burping a few times. That's why the bad air is stuck there and makes you nauseous. Guanchong acupoint is an exhaust outlet. Stimulating it can help disperse the turbid air. Although not a lot of air can be dispersed, a little bit of dispersion will make you feel more comfortable. Then you can massage the Laogong point and the motion sickness will be almost cured.

Guanchong point can also treat sore throat and acute pharyngitis. This type of disease is closely related to qi stagnation. If you get too angry and the anger can't be released, it will cause inflammation. Since Guanchong acupoint can expel air, it can also remove fire, because excess air is fire. Of course, this air refers to turbid air.
