What are the functions of Xuehai acupoint

There are so many acupuncture points distributed on the surface of our human body, and it is often difficult to grasp them all. The reason why some people choose instrument treatment is because they do not understand acupoints. Acupuncture treatment of acupoints has been practiced in China for many, many years. This is mainly because there are relatively few people who are proficient in this area. Let’s take a brief look at the functions of the Xuehai acupoint.

1. Strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, regulate menstruation and regulate blood circulation. This point is the place where the spleen meridian emits qi and gathers spleen blood. Its function is like an ocean that gathers hundreds of rivers, and it can effectively promote blood circulation. Therefore, it is very effective in improving women's physiological diseases such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and lower abdominal pain. In addition, Xuehai can strengthen thigh muscles, eliminate leg edema, and is effective for shoulder pain, headache, anemia, eczema, foot numbness, etc. Pressing the Xuehai point can also effectively relieve various symptoms of menopause, allowing women to go through menopause happily.

2. Sit sideways and bend your knees 90 degrees. Use your left palm to aim at the center of your right patella. Place your palm on your knees, with your thumb and other four fingers at about 45 degrees. The tip of your thumb points to the center of your right patella.

3. Sit sideways with your knees bent and your legs stretched. Press on the highest point of the vastus medialis bulge, about 2 inches above the medial epicondyle of the femur, and you will feel soreness.

4. Sea of ​​blood. Blood is a red liquid that turns red when heated. Sea means big. The name of this acupoint means that this acupoint is the place where blood produced by the spleen meridian gathers. The substance of this acupoint is the moist air that vaporizes and rises from the water flowing out of Yinlingquan acupoint. It is moist air with higher temperature and higher concentration. It gathers at this acupoint. The area filled with qi and blood substances is as huge as the sea, hence the name.

5. Treat sores and ulcers: This point can clear blood and remove dampness, and treat sores and ulcers caused by blood turbidity, blood toxins and blood heat. To treat skin itching caused by blood deficiency, blood restlessness, and blood viscosity, use acupoint tapping method.

6. Treat knee pain, such as degenerative arthritis and rheumatic knee arthritis, which are often related to rheumatism. Chinese medicine believes that to treat wind, you must first treat blood, and when blood circulates, the wind will naturally disappear. This point can dispel wind and heat, relax tendons and activate blood circulation. It is more effective when pressed together with Yanglingquan point.

The above is a detailed explanation of the function of Xuehai acupoint. I hope that some people who are confused can gain some knowledge in this area. Acupoint massage or acupuncture must be performed under the guidance of a professional. Don't do it blindly, as it may lead to adverse consequences. Maintaining a healthy body is the most important thing.
