What are the acupuncture points on the human body?

In all, there are 409 acupuncture points on the human body, of which 52 are isolated, 48 are located on secondary channels, and 309 paired points.

Where are they located?

Quite a lot of them are located in the lumens or in the excavations of bones, but not necessarily the location is in these places. But under each of them must pass several blood vessels, one large vessel or humoral fluid. Blood and fluids are constantly moving, and in areas of acupressure exposure, they can be easily held in place and provide immunity control through lymph and nerve cells. This is exactly what is one of the unique "phenomena" of the acupuncture point.

The main channels of acupuncture

Chinese doctors say that 12 main channels (meridians) pass through the human body and its internal organs, through which blood, vital force and nutrients circulate, allowing the body to function as a single whole. Acupuncture points on the human body run parallel to these meridians.

Influence of points

Acupuncture points and their location have been studied in ancient times, each of them has its own name and scope. They are affected by silver needles, massage movements or finger pressure.

Harmonizing points

They are located at the starting point and the end of the meridians. Stimulation of them favors well-coordinated work of the bodies, which 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 so-called excitation points. Their perfect 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 on the points associated with it, and this makes it possible to put the correct diagnosis. Easy pressure on the right 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 the remaining meridians.

Stimulation

To affect specific organs, it is necessary to stimulate points on the human body, distributed along the energy meridian. For this, the most important ones are used: they are located in the area of earlobes of the ears, head, hands, feet and along the spine.

Acupressure session

Active points are many, so only a specialist knows, under what diseases need to affect certain of them. The acupressure session is as follows: pressing the necessary points with a thumb or forefinger or a massage stick.
