Cold and flu body aches and pains can be relieved by pressing the large vertebrae point, wind pool point, lung point and other points.
1. Great Vertebral Point: Located in the spinal region, in the depression under the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra, on the back center line. It is mainly used for treating fever, malignant cold (fear of cold) fever, cough, asthma, bone vaporization and tidal fever (a burst of fever, feeling that the heat is coming from inside the bone to the outside), child’s convulsion (a pediatric disease that manifests itself mainly in dizziness, apoplexy, and convulsions), and Xiangqiang.
2. Fengchi acupoint: located in the posterior region of the neck, below the occipital bone, in the depression between the upper end of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the upper end of the trapezius muscle. It is used for treating stroke, headache, dizziness, tinnitus, deafness, cold and nasal congestion.
3. Lung Yu acupoint: located in the spine area, under the spinous process of the 3rd thoracic vertebra, 1.5 inches away from the posterior midline. It is used for treating cough, asthma, hemoptysis, hot flashes, night sweats (abnormal sweating after going to sleep and stopping sweating after waking up), itching, and cryptorchid rash.
If needling the above points is required, it needs to be operated by a professional doctor.
