Overview of the efficacy and function of Cuanzhu Point

Cuanzhu point is an important acupoint on the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, located in the depression at the inner end of the eyebrow. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the effects of dispelling wind, clearing away heat, improving eyesight, calming the nerves, and relieving headaches. It is mainly used in the auxiliary treatment of eye diseases (such as myopia, eye fatigue), neurological symptoms (headache, insomnia) and facial muscle spasm. Secondary effects include relieving nasal congestion and regulating mood. Acupuncture or massage techniques are commonly used in clinical practice to stimulate this acupoint, but it must be operated under the guidance of a professional physician.

The eyesight-improving and eye-protecting effects of Cuanzhu Point

Because Cuanzhu Point is close to the eyes, it has a significant effect on improving vision problems. According to the traditional Chinese medicine classic "Acupuncture A and B Jing", stimulating this point can relieve symptoms such as eyelid drooping and blurred vision. Modern research shows that massaging the Cuanzhu point can promote blood circulation around the eyes and reduce dryness and fatigue caused by long-term eye use. People such as students and office workers can gently massage it for 1-2 minutes every day. It should be noted that serious eye diseases still need to be treated with medication.

Analysis of the effects of relieving headaches and calming the nerves

Cuanzhu point is closely related to the nerves of the head and has a soothing effect on tension headaches and migraines. Professor Zhang from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine pointed out that acupuncture at Cuanzhu combined with Fengchi point can significantly reduce the frequency of headache attacks. In addition, its calming effect is suitable for mild insomnia. Before going to bed, massage it clockwise with your thumb 30 times to help relax your nerves. However, organic lesions require prompt medical treatment and cannot rely on single acupoint treatment.

Clinical application and precautions of Cuanzhu point

In clinical practice, Cuanzhu point is often used in conjunction with Taiyuan and Sibai points to enhance the curative effect. For example, some Chinese medicine clinics use electroacupuncture to stimulate Zhuanzhu to treat hemifacial spasm, with an effective rate of about 70% (see table below). When massaging on your own, you need to avoid the eyeballs, and the intensity should be based on soreness and swelling. Pregnant women and those with coagulation disorders should use with caution. There are currently no equipment products specifically designed for Zuanzhu Point, but some brands such as"Renhe"The moxibustion patch can assist with warm moxibustion on the acupoint.

Summary and scientific application suggestions

As a traditional acupoint, the efficacy of Cuanzhu Point has been verified by both ancient books and modern research, but its auxiliary role needs to be viewed rationally. Daily health care can be combined with eye exercises. Those with severe symptoms should consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to develop a personalized plan.
