Or what effect does the middle point have?

Orzhong point is located 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the second thoracic vertebra, adjacent to Feishu point. According to the "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia and B Jing" records, this point mainly treats"Coughing, strong breath, fullness in the chest and hypochondrium", especially for relieving respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it regulates lung function by clearing the bladder meridian. In modern clinical practice, this point is also used to relieve shoulder and neck stiffness, and the efficacy can be enhanced by combining with points such as Fengchi and Dazhui. It should be noted that pregnant women and those with weak constitutions should be careful when administering acupuncture.

Stimulation or targeting of acupuncture points can be achieved through acupuncture, moxibustion or acupressure.

Scientific research and usage precautions

Recent studies have shown that stimulation of orzhong acupoints may improve lung function by regulating vagus nerve activity. A clinical trial published in "Chinese Acupuncture" showed that acupuncture at this point can increase the FEV1 (vital capacity index) of asthma patients by 12%-15%. However, we need to be alert to the risk of pneumothorax caused by blind operation by non-professionals. Although related products on the market, such as the "XX Meridian Instrument", are labeled with acupoint stimulation functions, their efficacy has not been strictly verified, so consumers should choose rationally.
