Shang Yang point does not have the effect of treating constipation.
Shangyang point belongs to the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian and is located on the radial side of the last section of the index finger, 0.1 inch beside the root angle of the fingernail. It has the efficacy of relieving coughs, calming asthma, clearing heat and opening up the mind, and can be paired with Shaoshang point and Yuzhi point for the treatment of toothache, sore throat, fever, coma and other symptoms. The acupuncture method of Shang Yang point is shallow stabbing, or bloodletting by stabbing, or moxibustion.
Therefore, the Shang Yang point does not have a role in treating constipation. Patients with constipation can improve the symptoms of constipation by pressing and kneading acupoints such as Chengshan acupoint and Lower Epigastric Point.
It is recommended that patients with constipation go to the hospital in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and do not blindly massage the acupoints on your own, so as not to cause damage to the organism.
