The Yang Qi of Dazhui is generally sufficient, which can effectively enhance the body's resistance to pathogens, and also has a good effect of dispersing internal heat and reducing fever.

If you use hot water to rinse the Dazhui point on the human body, it will be very helpful to expel the cold from the body of patients with colds as soon as possible. When flushing, the water temperature should be as high as possible, usually tolerable and not scalding the patient's skin.
