Acupuncture points do not directly stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, but can promote growth and development by promoting the transportation and absorption of water and grain essence. Optional acupoints include Yongquan acupoints, and Shusanli acupoints.
Chinese medicine believes that growth hormone belongs to the essence of water and grains, and its production depends on the spleen and kidney organs. Kidneys are responsible for the production of bone marrow (meaning that the kidneys control the production of bone marrow, which affects the growth and development of bones) and promote growth. The spleen is the foundation of the later day, the source of qi and blood biochemistry, and the nutrients needed for growth and development all depend on the transport function of the spleen and stomach. If you want to promote the transportation and absorption of water and grain essence, you can choose acupoints that strengthen the spleen and benefit the kidneys.
Yongquan acupoint belongs to the kidney meridian, located at the bottom of the foot, the lowest point when the foot is curled up, has the effect of tonifying the kidney essence and dredging the meridians. The foot Sanli point is an important point for treatment and health care, located three inches below the eye of the outer knee (about four fingers’ width), and has the effect of strengthening the spleen and benefiting qi.
Selected points can be subjected to moxibustion, acupuncture, acupressure, tuina and other Chinese medical treatments, but the specific operation should be carried out by a professional acupuncturist.
