Acupuncture points around the belly button

We all know that the area around the belly button is very sensitive. Many people will feel itching and pain around the belly button if they have gastrointestinal discomfort or some related abdominal diseases. In this case, they should go to the hospital for examination in time. There are many acupoints around the navel. Chinese medicine can use some acupoint massage to prevent and recover from diseases, which is very effective for many patients. So, what are the acupoints around the belly button?

1. What is the acupuncture point of the belly button?

The belly button is the Shenque point.

Location: Located in the center of the umbilicus.

Meridian: Ren Meridian. After being hit, it impacts the intercostal nerves, vibrates the intestines and bladder, injures the qi, and causes the body to malfunction.

Shenque Point: The navel, also known as the umbilicus, is an important point on the Ren Meridian of the human body. It is located in the navel parallel to the Mingmen point.

Shenque Point is the most secretive and crucial acupoint in human life, and is also the longevity point of the human body. Shenque is a yang point on the Ren meridian, and Mingmen is a yang point on the Du meridian. The two points are connected front to back, with yin and yang in harmony. They are the location of human body's life energy. Therefore, ancient practitioners called the two points the officials of water and fire. Human science research shows that the Shenque point is the only hidden place of the innate true breath. Through exercise, people can activate the fetal breathing of the human body and restore the innate true breath energy.

Shenque point is closely related to the vital activities of the human body. We know that the fetus in the mother's body breathes through the placenta, which is a state of innate true breathing. After the baby is separated from the body, the umbilical cord is cut, congenital breathing stops, and acquired lung breathing begins. The umbilical cord and placenta are closely connected to the navel. Without the navel, life will no longer exist. Once the fetal breathing function is activated in the human body, it is like establishing a health care station and energy supply station for the human body. The qi and blood in all the meridians of the human body can be automatically adjusted at any time, and the human body will be healthy and disease-free, and stay forever young. Regular exercise of the Shenque point can make the body full of true Qi, full of spirit, abundant physical strength, strong waist muscles, rosy complexion, sharp ears and eyes, light body and longevity. It also has unique therapeutic effects on abdominal pain, intestinal rumbling, edema, diarrhea, rectal prolapse, stroke and other diseases.

There are three health care methods for Shenque point. One is the kneading method: every night before going to bed on an empty stomach, rub your hands together to warm them up, place your hands on your navel with the left lower and the right upper, and rub them clockwise (women do the opposite), 360 times each time. The second is the Qi gathering method: sit upright, relax, close your eyes slightly, and use your right hand to rotate towards your navel. Use your mind to gather the true Qi energy in the universe towards your navel until you feel warmth. The third is the method of concentration of mind: relax, sit cross-legged, close your eyes, get rid of distracting thoughts, focus your mind on the Shenlan, each time for more than half an hour. After a long time, you will concentrate your mind into the Qi points, true Qi will be generated in the points, and fetal breathing will slowly start.

The navel, located in the depression in the center of the abdomen, is the vital root tissue left after the umbilical cord of a newborn falls off. It is an important acupuncture point of the Ren meridian in the traditional Chinese medicine meridian system - Shenque point. Shenque point is the only visible and tangible acupuncture point among the 361 acupuncture points in the body. There are two main interpretations of the meaning of the name Shenque acupoint: one is that it refers to the place where the spirit resides, that is, where the vitality is; the other is that it refers to the gateway through which the spirit passes in and out, which is the channel for the fetus to obtain nutrition from the mother and maintain the fetus's vital activities.

The human body's innate endowment is closely related to this acupuncture point. The ancients said that "the navel is the basis of the five internal organs and six bowels" and "the root of vital energy returning to the internal organs." The skin of the navel is thin and sunken, with no subcutaneous fat tissue. The skin is directly connected to the fascia and peritoneum, making it easily invaded by cold evil, but it is also easy to warm and nourish. Therefore, Shenque point has always been an important point for health preservation.
