In total, there are 409 acupuncture points on the human body, of which 52 are separate, 48 are located on secondary channels, and 309 are paired points.
Where are you located?
Quite a lot of them are located in the gaps or in the recesses of the bones, however, the location in these places is not necessary. But under each of them several blood vessels, one large vessel or humoral fluid should pass. Blood and fluids are constantly moving, and in places of acupressure exposure, they can be easily held and control of the immune system through lymph and nerve cells. This is one of the unique “phenomena” of the acupuncture point.
The main channels of acupuncture
Chinese healers claim that 12 major channels (meridians) pass through the human body and its internal organs, through which blood, vitality and nutrients circulate, allowing the body to function as a whole. Acupuncture points on the human body run parallel to these meridians.
Exposure points
Acupuncture points and their location have been studied in antiquity. Each of them has its own name and scope. The impact on them is carried out using silver needles, massage movements or pressure with a finger.
Harmonizing points
They are located at the starting point and end of the meridians. Their stimulation favors the coordinated work of the organs that are controlled by specific meridians.
Stimulating points
Each meridian has stimulating acupuncture points on the human body, when exposed to which the energy resources of the body are activated.
Soothing points
Such acupuncture points on the human body balance the activity of the nervous system. When stimulating them, a person has pleasant sensations. Any internal organ has the so-called excitation points. Flawless acupressure helps reduce pain.
Use in the treatment of diseases
Each organ has a connection with certain points. Therefore, any changes in the activity of the body are reflected in the points associated with it, and this makes it possible to make the correct diagnosis. Light pressure on the desired points normalizes the work of the body.
Activation and recovery
Acupuncture points on the human body are biologically active areas, and the correct effect on them activates or restores the processes of self-regulation by redistributing energy from other meridians.
Stimulation
To affect specific organs, it is necessary to stimulate points on the human body, distributed along the energy meridian. The most important ones are used for this: they are located in the area of the earlobes, head, hands, feet and along the spine.
Conducting an acupressure session
There are many active points, therefore, only a specialist knows what diseases need to affect certain of them. An acupressure session is as follows: the desired points are affected by pressing with the thumb or index finger or with a massage stick.
