Acupuncture points on the palm

Although we are not Chinese medicine doctors, we still know something about the acupoints on the body. Especially influenced by traditional culture, we have a better understanding of acupoint health care. There are acupoints in every part of our body, and different acupoints have different effects. So, do you know how many acupoints there are on our palms? There are more than 300 acupuncture points in total.

Function

Acupoint massage is a health massage based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. It mainly focuses on meridian acupoint massage. Its technique has strong penetration, can relax muscles, relieve fatigue, regulate body functions, and has the effects of improving body immunity, dredging meridians, balancing yin and yang, and prolonging life.

method

There are different massage techniques, but generally speaking, there are eight commonly used techniques: pressing, rubbing, pushing, holding, kneading, pinching, shaking, and hitting. It should be known that the above-mentioned eight techniques are not used in isolation, but are often used in combination with each other.

“Acupoints” are key points where muscles, tendons, and bones connect

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the parts that Chinese medicine calls "acupoints" are the main treatment sites for massage and other therapies. They are more sensitive than other parts of the body, and the treatment effect will be better after massage.

There are also relevant studies in modern Western medical anatomy. Western medicine believes that the so-called acupoints are the key points where "muscles, tendons, and bones" are connected. By massaging these key points, the entire muscle will relax accordingly.

Wrong massage technique can cause pain

If you simply massage the skin, it will cause damage and the patient may feel pain. However, if you find the "key point" and pluck it a few times with skillful force, the whole person will relax.

This is why some people feel uncomfortable or even have pain all over the body the next day after a massage. This is because the massage technique is incorrect or excessive. A correct massage will only bring a comfortable and relaxing feeling.

Acupoint massage is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. It is guided by the theories of traditional Chinese medicine, based on the theory of meridians and acupoints, and mainly uses massage as a means of preventing and curing diseases.

Acupoint massage can stimulate specific acupoints of the human body and stimulate the qi of the meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging blood vessels, adjusting human functions, and eliminating evil and strengthening the body.
