Lung cancer patients may wish to give it a try.

1. Rub the back with a towel to relieve asthma and cough

After cleaning the skin, wipe the back with a wet long towel. Use appropriate force and speed up, rub once every 2 to 3 minutes, and it is best to rub until the skin turns red and slightly hot. Rubbing the back can stimulate the Dingchuan point on the back (the patient lies prone or sits upright with his head down, the point is located on the posterior midline, 0.5 inches away from the Dingdazhui point below the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra), the Feishu point (prone position, under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra, 1.5 inches away from the body column (Du channel)), and other strong points, achieving the effects of widening the chest, regulating qi, tonifying the kidney, calming asthma and relieving cough.

2. Rubbing Fengchi acupoint can relieve cough and pain

Fengchi acupoint is located at the back of the neck, one inch above the hairline, with a small pit on each side that makes you feel sore when you press it (sitting upright or lying prone, find the acupoint at the back of the neck, in the depression between the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the upper end of the trapezius muscle). Hold your head with both hands and press and rub Fengchi acupoint with your thumb until you feel soreness and swelling. Close your eyes while doing this, and do it for 1 to 2 minutes each time. This method can not only relieve asthma and cough, but also relieve headaches.
