Sanyinjiao pain refers to the soreness and pain felt when rubbing and kneading. Sanyinjiao is the point where the three yin meridians of the foot meet, suggesting that there may be spleen, liver, and kidney related disorders, yin deficiency, or poor circulation of qi and blood in the lower limbs, and that the specific cause needs to be examined by a doctor.
Sanyinjiao point belongs to the foot Taiyin spleen meridian, located in the inner calf, 3 inches above the tip of the inner ankle, behind the medial edge of the tibia. Its main effects are to strengthen the spleen and stomach, regulate the liver and kidney, promote qi and blood circulation (to promote the flow of qi and blood), and dredge the meridians and collaterals.
Possible symptoms of soreness and discomfort at the Sanyinjiao point include abdominal distension and diarrhea, menstrual irregularities, dysuria and seminal emission, palpitations (rapid heartbeat, often accompanied by panic) and insomnia. This point can also be used to treat various symptoms of yin deficiency such as red eyes and dry eyes, heat in the hands and feet, etc. It can also promote the flow of qi and blood in the lower limbs, alleviating symptoms such as limpness and numbness.
If there is a need for treatment, it is recommended to consult a physician to identify the evidence and select the point, do not operate blindly on your own.
