Where is the most effective spleen massage

Massage is a very health-preserving and fitness method. It does not require much effort, but it can play a very good role. If a certain part of our body is uncomfortable, we can choose the corresponding acupoint for massage. This is a very effective method. So if we want to strengthen the spleen, where is the most effective point to massage? Let’s find out with the editor below.

1 Where is the most effective spleen massage: Fenglong acupoint

Efficacy: Fenglong point belongs to the stomach meridian and is connected to the spleen meridian. It can regulate the spleen and stomach, two major internal organs, and has a good effect of removing dampness and phlegm.

Acupoint location: Find the knee pit and outer ankle points on the outside of the leg, connect them into a line, and then take the midpoint of this line. Next, find the tibia on the leg, 1.5 inches outside the front edge of the tibia, about the width of two fingers, and be flush with the midpoint just now. This place is the Fenglong point.

Massage method: Use your thumb to press the acupoint slightly until you feel a slight pain. Press for 5 seconds and then release. Alternate hands and press for 3 to 5 minutes. You can also gently tap this point with your fist until the skin turns red naturally, for 5 to 10 minutes each time. The Fenglong point is generally more sensitive than the surrounding areas and there will be slight pain when massaging it.

2 Where is the most effective spleen massage: Zusanli

Efficacy: Zusanli acupoint is one of the main acupoints of the "Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming", which has the effect of generating stomach qi and drying up spleen dampness. People often say, "Regularly massaging the Zusanli point is better than eating old hens", which shows how important the Zusanli point is for strengthening the body.

Acupoint location: Zusanli is located four finger widths below the outer kneecap, on the edge of the tibia.

Massage method: Place the tip of your thumb on the Zusanli point and do acupressure, pressing and releasing, 15 to 20 times per minute, and pressing for about 5 to 10 minutes a day. When massaging, it is best to feel soreness, swelling and heat.

3 Where is the most effective spleen massage: Pishu point

Efficacy: It has the effects of dispelling dampness and clearing away heat, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and replenishing qi and strengthening yang.

Acupoint location: Pishu point is located on the back, 1.5 inches lateral to the spinous process of the 11th thoracic vertebra. The navel corresponds to the second lumbar vertebra. Feel three vertebrae upwards and it is two fingers away from the bottom.

Massage method: Place the tips of both thumbs on the spleen point, gradually press down with force, press and rub it, so that the affected area feels sour, numb, swollen and heavy. Then use the rubbing method, that is, rub the acupoints back and forth to make the local heat feel deep inside, until the skin becomes flushed. Repeat this operation for 5 to 10 minutes, once a day or every other day.
