Anxiety belongs to the category of “depression” in traditional Chinese medicine. Pressing the Laogong, Neiguan and Daling acupoints may have a certain relief effect when you are anxious.
Laogong, an acupoint on the pericardium meridian of the syncopal meridian of the hand, is located between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones, favoring the 3rd metacarpal bone. The simple method of extracting the point is that when the palm of the hand is clenched in a fist, the tip of the middle finger corresponds to the position of the inner Laogong point.
Neiguan, an acupoint on the pericardium meridian of the syncopal meridian, is located between the tendon of the palmaris longus and the tendon of the radial flexor carpi radialis, 2 inches above the transverse stripe on the distal part of the wrist.
Daling, an acupoint on the Pericardium meridian of the syncopal meridian of the hand, is located between the tendon of the palmaris longus and the tendon of the radial flexor carpi radialis, 2 inches above the transverse stripe of the distal palmaris of the wrist.
Chinese medicine believes that the pericardium is able to protect the heart and resist external evils on behalf of the heart, as well as regulate related psychosomatic disorders through the points on the pericardium meridian.
The clinical operation method of the above acupoints is mostly straight stabbing. Pressing the above acupoints when anxious has a certain alleviating effect, but the effect it can play is limited. If you are not feeling well, please consult a professional doctor for diagnosis and treatment in order to avoid delaying your condition.
