1. Regulate the spleen and stomach and improve digestive function

What are the functions of Yishe point?

Yishe point is closely related to the spleen and stomach organs. Stimulating this point can regulate spleen and stomach Qi through meridian conduction, and relieve symptoms such as epigastric fullness and loss of appetite.According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired diseases. Yishe point helps digestion and absorption by promoting the movement of qi and blood. It is especially suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach caused by improper diet or stress.In clinical practice, it is often used in combination with Zusanli, Zhongwan and other acupoints to enhance the curative effect.

2. Relieve back pain and stiffness

Since Yishe point is located near the back muscle group, acupuncture or massage of this point can relax local muscles and improve back pain caused by sitting for a long time or strain.Its mechanism of action is to clear the bladder meridian and relieve muscle spasms.For modern common office syndromes, such as shoulder, neck, waist and back pain, regular pressure on the Yishe point can have an auxiliary and soothing effect.

3. Assist in calming the mind and regulating emotions

The word "She" in Yishe point means the place where the mind resides. Moderate stimulation can alleviate emotional problems such as anxiety and insomnia.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach are related to emotions (such as "thinking hurts the spleen"), and regulating the Yishe point can indirectly calm the mind.Combined with acupuncture points such as Baihui and Neiguan, it can help improve sleep quality and is suitable for people with long-term high pressure.

Summary and application suggestions

As a multi-effect acupoint, Yishe point has both physiological and psychological regulating functions.Daily health care can be provided through acupressure (3-5 minutes each time, moderate intensity) or moxibustion (professional operation required).It should be noted that serious illness still requires medical treatment, and acupoint therapy is only an auxiliary treatment.Its efficacy has been recorded in ancient books such as "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing", and its value has also been verified in modern clinical practice.
