Zhangmen is commonly used to treat spleen and stomach disorders such as dyspepsia, abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea, as well as liver and gallbladder disorders such as dystocia (pain in the area of the ribs and coats of arms), jaundice, and plaques (lumps). This point can be combined with the Tianshu (Heavenly Pivot) point, the Spleen Yu (Spleen Yu) point and the Foot Sanli (Foot Sanli) point to treat abdominal distension, lumps (masses) and dystocia (pain in the ribs) caused by disharmony between the liver and the spleen.
If external Chinese medicine treatment is required, it should be carried out by a professional doctor and should not be done on one’s own, as this may cause adverse consequences.
