Massage of the Zhongji point is mostly done by rubbing and pressing with the thumb finger, but the Zhongji point is more often manipulated with moxibustion and acupuncture.
The Zhongji point is in the lower abdomen and is located on the anterior midline, 4 inches down from the umbilicus. Zhongji point is mainly used to treat menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea, cystitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, prostatitis, urinary retention, and male sexual dysfunction.
This point is usually operated by moxibustion (spacer moxibustion apparatus, moxa hanging moxibustion, moxa cone moxibustion), acupuncture (straight puncture, pregnant women should be cautious), and can also be massaged on its own, i.e., rubbing and pressing the point with the thumb’s fingertips to localized acidity and distension.
