When massaging Taichong acupoints, the thumb can be pressed at the acupoint for kneading, which is the finger kneading method; the thumb can also be pressed at the acupoint to maintain a certain strength and press downward, which is the point pressing method. The pressure should be gentle and even.
If massage therapy is needed, it is recommended to go to a professional medical institution.
