What are the effects of finger acupoint massage

Chinese medicine believes that the human body has many acupoints, and different acupoints control different organ functions of the human body. Massaging and stimulating these acupoints will have a very good effect on maintaining the body. In addition to the soles of the feet, the fingers have more acupoints. The fingers have very rich acupoints, so regular massage has many benefits. You can read the detailed introduction of this article for the specific effects of finger acupoint massage.

Massage finger acupoints to relieve fatigue

Once the meridians of the human body are blocked, Qi and blood will be obstructed, and the internal organs will be out of balance. Long-term accumulation will lead to disease. The starting points and end points of the twelve meridians are at the extremities of the body, six of which run to the hands and stop at the ten fingers. There are three yin meridians on the palm that run to the thumb, middle finger and little finger; there are three yang meridians on the back of the hand that run to the index finger, ring finger and little finger. The other six meridians that reach the toes can also be connected through similar meridian qi, and the correspondence between the inside and outside of the hand can be obtained.

The six meridians connecting the fingers and their corresponding meridian qi are: Shaoshang point on the thumb corresponds to the lungs and spleen; Shangyang point on the index finger corresponds to the large intestine and stomach; Zhongchong point on the middle finger corresponds to the pericardium and liver; Guanchong point on the ring finger corresponds to the triple burner and gallbladder; Shaoze point on the little finger corresponds to the heart and kidney; Shaochong point corresponds to the small intestine and bladder. In the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine Lingshu, the well point is likened to the source of water, the place where the essence of the human body comes out. It is believed that it plays a very important role in regulating the internal organs, qi and blood, and the qi of the meridians.

Jing points have the effects of clearing away heat, refreshing the brain and calming the nerves. Chinese medicine will achieve the therapeutic effect through bloodletting and acupuncture. Ordinary people can maintain their bodies by massaging the Jing points. When they are not in good spirits, massaging the Jing points on the ten fingers can also activate the internal organs and restore vitality.

The massage steps are: press both sides of the nail in turn, then pinch the fingers above the nail, and then knead the fingers at the base of the nail, massaging each finger for about 20 seconds. It only takes about 3 minutes of massaging all ten fingers to effectively stimulate the well points on the hands. In addition, there are acupoints on the knuckles that directly correspond to the internal organs. When you have free time, you can casually press each knuckle or use a cup of hot water to apply heat to make your body and mind more relaxed.

Knowing that finger acupoint massage can eliminate fatigue, for people who often sit in the office, if you feel shoulder and back pain, you might as well massage your fingers according to the above massage method. I believe it will be very helpful to improve your fatigue. In addition, I also remind you to pay attention to finding the acupoints when massaging your fingers. If the acupoints are wrong, the massage will have no effect.
