Therapeutic manipulation of acupoints usually only relieves and improves the symptoms, so there is no such thing as a special acupoint for treating qi stagnation and blood stasis. According to Chinese medicine, qi stagnation and blood stasis is mainly caused by feeling external evils, injuries from falls, and poor qi and blood circulation, and usually results in distension, pain, and other symptoms. It is recommended that Shenmen, Neiguan and Tianquan acupoints be manipulated.
1. Shenmen acupoint: precisely positioned in the anterior wrist area, the ulnar end of the distal transverse stripe on the palmar side of the wrist, and the radial edge of the ulnar wrist flexor tendon. Its function is to tranquilize the heart and calm the mind, and energize the meridians and collaterals. It is used for treating forgetfulness, insomnia, dementia, epilepsy, epilepsy, headache, dizziness, palpitation, arm pain and numbness, gasping for breath, vomiting blood, and so on.
2. Neiguan acupoint: precisely positioned in the forearm anterior region, 2 inches above the transverse stripe on the distal side of the palm of the wrist, between the tendon of the palmaris longus and the tendon of the radial flexor carpi radialis. Its functions are to tranquilize the heart and calm the mind, harmonize the stomach and lower the rebellious Qi (harmonize the stomach Qi and make the upward rebellious Qi descend), broaden the chest and regulate the Qi, and sedate and relieve pain. It is mainly used for treating palpitation, insomnia, stomach pain, vomiting, asthma, irregular menstruation and prolapse.
3. Tianquan acupoint: precisely positioned in the anterior arm area, 2 inches below the head of the axillary front line, between the long and short heads of the biceps. Its function is to activate blood circulation, regulate qi and stop pain. It is mainly used for treating pain in the inner side of the upper arm, chest and hypochondrium distension (distension in the chest and rib area), and chest and back pain.
Operation of the above acupoints can improve qi stagnation and blood stasis to a certain extent, but the treatment-related operation should be carried out by professional physicians, not by oneself, so as to avoid adverse consequences.
