Aunt pain is medically known as “dysmenorrhea” and can be relieved by applying pressure on Guanyuan, Uterus, 17 vertebrae, Sanyinjiao, Hegu and other acupoints.
Dysmenorrhea is a condition that occurs before or during menstruation in which the abdomen is distended and painful, even affecting life. The basic treatment principle of Chinese acupuncture is to regulate the Chong Ren, warm the menstruation and relieve pain. Pressure on the Ren Chakra, the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian and the meridian points can effectively relieve menstrual cramps. Specific points are: Guanyuan, Uterus, 17 vertebrae, Sanyinjiao, Hegu and other points.
Guanyuan is close to the uterus and is connected to the foot-sanyin meridian. Together with Sanyinjiao, it regulates the Ren vein and the three organs of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and together with Hegu, it can clear the channels and eliminate the stasis and regulate the qi and blood in order to alleviate the pain. The uterus and 17 vertebrae are both extra-meridian points that can regulate qi and blood in the uterus and are effective points for treating dysmenorrhea. Pressing on the above points can effectively relieve pain.
The above points are effective points for treating dysmenorrhea, and can be selected and pressed when symptoms of dysmenorrhea occur. If the pain is more severe, it is recommended to take pain medication or go to a regular hospital for treatment to relieve the pain.
