How to stimulate menstruation: Press your thumb

Not having a regular menstrual period can indeed make some women anxious, especially those girls whose menstrual periods are irregular and they also want their menstrual periods to come on time. Maybe most women drink Chinese herbal medicine to nourish the body, but I think everyone should not hate the taste. However, it is said that pressing acupoints can also induce menstruation. So where should you press the thumb to induce menstruation?

Where do you press your thumb to induce menstruation?

To induce menstruation, you can press the Zhiyu point on the thumb, which is located on the central web of the first vertical section on the back of the thumb. Because the acupuncture points on the arms are relatively small, some special tools can be used for acupuncture, such as the end of a pen or ballpoint pen core, for light pressing. Don't hold your breath during massage, remember to breathe naturally. Massage acupoints is relatively convenient. There is no need to divide them into time and place. Press them more than 100 times a day and feeling soreness means there is an effect.

Why does pressing your thumb to induce menstruation actually work?

1. If we regard the thumb as a body, then the bottom of the thumb corresponds to our abdomen, which is the location of the uterus. By massaging this area, the abdomen can be stimulated and the uncomfortable condition of the abdomen can be improved.

2. The key to massaging the Zhiwu point is to treat conditions such as menstrual blockage and poor blood circulation. It's like pulling the cork out of a full plastic bucket. However, if the delayed menstruation is caused by ischemia or anemia, massaging this acupoint will have no practical effect.

The human body is like a fully connected diversity, and each acupoint corresponds to an organ of the human body. When the human body feels uncomfortable, we can alleviate the discomfort by pinching and pressing acupoints. Acupoints are all interconnected. Pressing acupoints can stimulate a person's nerves. This can also be regarded as a simple way to escape, just like pinching the Ren Zhong point when someone faints.
