How to massage Sanyinjiao to achieve the best effect

I believe everyone knows that although medical equipment was not very advanced in ancient China, traditional Chinese medicine was indeed the only widely spread way to save the world and cure diseases. Traditional Chinese medicine still exists after the baptism of history. There must be certain reasons for this. The profoundness of traditional Chinese medicine amazes the world. Massage of many acupoints can treat diseases. So when is the best time of the day to massage the Sanyinjiao acupoint? Let me introduce it to you today.

Sanyinjiao is located at the intersection of the spleen meridian, kidney meridian and liver meridian, and is a famous health acupoint in the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen controls blood, the liver stores blood and circulates qi, and the kidneys store essence. Although Sanyinjiao acupoint belongs to the spleen meridian, because of its special relationship with the other two meridians, frequently massaging the Sanyinjiao acupoint can strengthen the spleen and blood, regulate the liver and nourish the kidneys.

The location of Sanyinjiao acupoint is on the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the tip of the inner ankle, and behind the inner edge of the tibia.

Health care effects: It has the effects of delaying aging, preventing and treating gynecological diseases, etc.

Main diseases treated: irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia, leucorrhea, uterine prolapse, spermatorrhea, and difficulty urinating, etc.

Massage method: At 11 o'clock every day, massage the Sanyinjiao points on both legs for 20 minutes each, which is very beneficial for the treatment of various rashes; from 11 to 13 o'clock every day, massage the Sanyinjiao points on both legs for 20 minutes each, which has a good regulating effect on blood pressure; from 17:00 to 19:00 every afternoon, vigorously massage the Sanyinjiao points on both legs for 15 minutes each, which has the effect of promoting blood circulation in the uterus and ovaries, and can prevent and treat various gynecological diseases; around 21:00 every night, massage the Sanyinjiao points on both legs for 20 minutes each, which has the effects of strengthening the spleen, tightening the facial skin and preventing double chins; from 21:00 to 23:00 every night, massage the Sanyinjiao points on both legs for 15 minutes each, which has the effects of regulating menstruation, removing spots, acne and wrinkles. Generally speaking, you can see obvious results if you persist in massaging for a month.

The five internal organs of the human body are interconnected. If there is a problem with one organ, it will often affect other organs. Therefore, Chinese medicine emphasizes a holistic approach to health preservation and treatment of diseases, and avoids treating a headache by treating the head or a foot pain by treating the foot.

The kidneys are closely connected to the liver and spleen. The kidneys store essence and the liver stores blood. There is a relationship of mutual generation and transformation between essence and blood. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "the liver and kidneys have the same origin" and "essence and blood have the same origin". The formation of blood depends on the gasification of the essence in the kidneys, and the abundance of kidney essence also depends on the nourishment of liver blood. Therefore, if you want to maintain good kidneys, you must pay attention to the maintenance of the liver.

The kidney is the foundation of the innate constitution, and the spleen is the foundation of the acquired constitution. The relationship between the kidney and spleen is a relationship of mutual nourishment between the innate and acquired constitutions. The kidneys store innate essence, which needs to be constantly replenished and nourished by the essence of water and grain produced by the spleen and stomach. The spleen and stomach's function of producing the essence of water and grain depends on the stimulation and promotion of the vital energy in the kidneys. Therefore, nourishing the kidneys is essential without nourishing the spleen and stomach.

Is there any way to nourish the liver, spleen and kidneys at the same time? Stimulating the Sanyinjiao point couldn’t be simpler. Therefore, whether from the perspective of health preservation or kidney nourishment, the Sanyinjiao point should be fully utilized.

Sanyinjiao point is located on the inner side of the calf, 3 inches above the tip of the medial malleolus, and behind the inner edge of the tibia. When taking the acupoint, sit upright, put the other four fingers except the thumb together, with the lower edge of the little finger close to the tip of the inner ankle. The intersection of the horizontal line of the upper edge of the index finger and the posterior edge of the tibia is the acupoint.

For daily health care, massaging the Sanyinjiao point or moxibustion are very useful. You can massage for 3 to 5 minutes each time, or use moxa sticks to gently moxibustion for about 15 minutes. If you persist in doing this for a long time, you can feel light and healthy.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a good understanding of when in the day it is best to massage Sanyinjiao. Although massaging acupoints is very effective on the body, it also requires long-term persistence to achieve the effect of strengthening the body. It will be ineffective if you give up halfway.
