What is the reason for the throbbing of the philtrum?

There are many acupoints distributed on our body, and different acupoints have different functions. Massaging and stimulating the acupoints can effectively improve the corresponding diseases, which is very common in traditional Chinese medicine. The philtrum is also an acupuncture point that everyone is familiar with, but what is the reason for the pulsation of the philtrum? Stimulating the Ren Zhong point is a method used in first aid. The pulsation is closely related to personal emotions, such as anger, excitement, etc.

1. What is the sign of philtrum beating?

The throbbing of the philtrum may be caused by mental factors, such as anger or rage. You can try to divert your attention and not think about it, and it will recover naturally. You should still pay attention to whether it is caused by a neurological condition. It is recommended to carry out nutritional and nerve regulation treatment. You can first use some nerve nourishing drugs such as vitamin B1 and B12 for symptomatic treatment. You can also use some western medicine to treat and control the symptoms. You can also try acupuncture treatment appropriately. It is recommended that you try not to eat spicy food in the near future, relax your mood, and take some methylcobalamin to nourish your nerves. Combined with acupuncture treatment, it can better regulate nerve function, relax local muscles, and thus alleviate this situation. If your philtrum is jumping, try to think whether it is because you have been too nervous recently. Try to relax. If there is no improvement, it is best to go to the hospital for consultation or seek treatment through acupuncture.

2. How to pinch the philtrum

There are certain requirements for stimulating the Ren Zhong point for first aid. If the technique is not appropriate, it may affect a person's breathing activities. If the philtrum is stimulated continuously, it can cause persistent inhibition of exhalation. Appropriate rhythmic stimulation will be beneficial to the operation of rhythmic respiratory activities. The effects of the Ren Zhong point on breathing are not always beneficial. Continuous stimulation may also cause inspiratory excitement or inhibition, both of which may lead to respiratory arrest. Therefore, in practical applications, attention should be paid to the application of stimulation techniques. Studies have shown that it is best to pinch or acupuncture the Ren Zhong acupoint with the tip of the thumb, pressing or twisting the needle 20 to 40 times per minute, each time for 0.5 to 1 second.

3. Precautions for pinching Renzhong

First of all, you should pay attention to not pinching the Ren Zhong point blindly, that is, you cannot use your long fingernails to pinch the unconscious person, but use the strength of your thumb to press the acupoint to wake the person up. Therefore, pinching the philtrum is generally not used by women. The main reason is that women's nails are generally longer and weaker. If the patient still does not wake up after pinching the Ren Zhong point, you can also use acupuncture needles to stimulate the Ren Zhong point. Of course, this requires the patient's family to have some knowledge of acupuncture.
