Stop showing your ignorance! The four parts of the body control the whole body

The human body is the largest medicine storehouse, and acupoints are the most natural medicines. Many diseases can be effectively treated with acupoints.

In every acupuncture point treatment, there are basically four acupuncture points like this. These four acupuncture points cover almost all diseases in the body and have a wide range of treatment. They are also recorded in the "Four General Acupuncture Points Song":

The abdomen is Sanlili,

Waist and back pain,

Look for Lieque in the head and neck.

The Hegu point on the face and mouth is closed.

This formula summarizes in an easy-to-understand way the functions and main indications of the four acupoints, Zusanli, Weizhong, Lieque and Hegu, covering almost the entire body, from the head to the neck, from the back to the abdomen. Let’s learn together below.

1. Zusanli: regulates qi and blood, spleen and stomach

Location: On the anterior and lateral side of the calf, three inches below the depression on the outside of the knee (outer knee pit), one finger width away from the outside of the tibia.

The "Four General Acupoints Song" says "Sanli for the stomach and abdomen". The stomach meridian is a meridian with abundant qi and blood, and Zusanli is its "He point". Qi and blood gather here, making the area abundant.

It has the effects of strengthening the body, nourishing the vital energy, invigorating the spleen and stomach, regulating yin and yang, and dredge meridians and activate collaterals for all digestive system diseases such as spleen and stomach disorders. Moxibustion on Zusanli will have a very significant effect.

2. Weizhong acupoint relaxes muscles and tendons, promotes blood circulation and relieves pain

Location: Midpoint of the popliteal fossa transverse line, between the biceps femoris tendon and the semitendinosus tendon.

"Seek treatment for low back pain at Weizhong" means that all low back diseases can be treated at Weizhong. Weizhong is the He point of the Urinary Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang. The Foot-Taiyang descends on the surface, and the Foot-Shaoyin ascends on the inner layer. The Qi of the Kidney Meridian and the Urinary Bladder Meridian meet here. This point can be used for both deficiency and excess low back pain.

It has the effects of relaxing muscles and tendons, dispersing blood stasis, activating blood circulation and relieving pain. Especially for the elderly who suffer from back pain, knee joint mobility problems, the best effect is to massage the Zusanli point together.

3. Hegu point: Treat all facial diseases

Location: Dorsa of hand, between the first and second metacarpal bones, at the midpoint of the radial side of the second metacarpal bone.

In the Song of Four General Acupoints, it is said that “the face and mouth are controlled by Hegu”, and Hegu acupoint has the function of treating all diseases of the face, mouth and five sense organs.

Hegu point can enhance the body's immunity, and has the effects of clearing away heat, promoting yang energy, and supporting positive energy. It is a special acupoint for relieving pain, especially for headaches and toothaches. Just rubbing this point can relieve the pain.

Use your right hand to vigorously rub the Hegu point on your left hand, then change hands and use your left hand to vigorously rub the Hegu point on your right hand.

4. Lieque point: relieve neck pain

Location: 1.5 inches above the transverse wrist crease, between the brachioradialis and extensor pollicis longus tendons, or follow the method of acupoint location as shown in the figure.

The "Four General Acupoints Song" says: "Take Lieque for the head and neck." Lieque point is a collateral point of the hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. It is also a meeting point of eight meridians and connects to the Ren meridian of the eight extraordinary meridians.

The Qi of the Lung Meridian passes through the Yangming meridian and reaches the brain. Massaging the Lieque point is not only good for treating migraines, but also can dredge the Qi and blood in the neck meridians, which can quickly relieve neck pain and cold symptoms.

These four acupoints control the health of the whole body. Rubbing them accordingly every day can prevent diseases, strengthen the body and help prolong life.

Thousands of years of unique skills have been integrated into 361 acupoints on the body. It is impossible for us to remember them one by one, but these 4 acupoints can control the whole body and each has its own focus. Friends around you must remember them.
