Is Shen Que the navel?

Shen Que is the navel. Shen Que, or Shen Que point, is an acupuncture point in Chinese medicine, in the middle of the umbilicus, which is often referred to as the navel eye. When the umbilical cord is cut after the birth of a fetus, the scar left on the abdomen is the navel eye. The intersection of a horizontal line from the anterior superior iliac spine and the midline of the abdomen is the navel eye, which is usually depressed or convex. From the TCM point of view, the Que point has the effect of consolidating the root and regulating the stomach and intestines. Due to the anatomical location of the Shen Que point, clinical treatment can be done with moxibustion, such as moxibustion and salt moxibustion, but the use of acupuncture is prohibited. In Chinese medicine, it can be combined with other acupuncture points for therapeutic purposes, such as with the foot three li to regulate the intestines and stomach and treat intestinal tinnitus and abdominal pain. Combined with Guan Yuan can play a role in warming the kidney yang, which is effective for persistent diarrhea, intestinal tinnitus, and abdominal pain. The specific operation should be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor and should not be disposed of without authorization. Through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, Shen Que acupuncture point is useful for the treatment of gastritis, dysentery, urinary retention and other diseases. For example, moxibustion of Shen Que across ginger can improve symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by gastritis, together with the use of acid suppressants and gastric mucosa protectors, such as omeprazole. In addition, drugs such as sodium citrate, can treat gastritis. For urinary retention caused by certain surgeries, moxibustion can be performed over ginger, which has the effect of promoting urinary emptying, thus helping to improve the symptoms of urinary retention.
