Where to press the thumb to stimulate menstruation

Massage the thumb for delayed menstruation: pinch and press the acupoint

Location: Zhiwu point is located on the central line of the first longitudinal section of the back of the thumb

Method: Because the acupoints on the hands are relatively small, you can use some tools to massage the acupoints, such as the tail of a fountain pen or ballpoint pen (the round and smooth part) for pressing. Don't hold your breath during massage, remember to breathe naturally. It is convenient to massage the Zhiwu point. There is no need to distinguish between time and place. Press it more than 100 times a day. If you feel soreness and swelling, it means it is effective.

Massage Notes: 1. Take a rest before massage. .2. Do not do hand massage after binge drinking, overeating, within 1 hour after taking a bath, or when you are overly tired. 3. If you feel soreness, slight pain, or swelling in the area after the first massage, it is because you have used too much force and you should reduce the force.

Efficacy: Zhiwu point has the effect of promoting the flow of qi and regulating qi, which can make the body's functions run smoothly and allow menstrual blood to be discharged smoothly. So it can treat the problem of delayed menstruation. It can effectively solve the problem of qi and blood stasis.

Massaging the three acupoints under the thumb has the effect of inducing menstruation. Now many people massage this area to treat menstrual disorders, and the effect is very good. So why does massaging under the thumb have the effect of stimulating menstruation? What is the principle behind this?

It turns out that if we regard the thumb as a human body, then the lower part of the thumb corresponds to our abdomen, which is the location of the uterus. By massaging this area, you can stimulate the abdomen and improve abdominal congestion.

Massage of the Zhiwu point is mainly used to treat menstrual blockage and poor blood circulation. It's like pulling the bung out of a bucket full of water. However, if the delayed menstruation is caused by ischemia or anemia, massaging this acupoint will not be effective. This is a completely different situation.

Why does pressing this acupoint have the effect of unblocking the body's meridians? This is related to the fact that our hand acupoints have a certain switching function. The body's self-repair function is still very powerful. By pressing this acupoint, the body's functions are regulated and the symptoms are effectively resolved.

So if you often have delayed menstruation, you can massage this acupoint every day in advance, at least a hundred times a day, preferably with a slight pain, so that it will be effective.
