Yishe point is closely related to the spleen and stomach organs.

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.

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.
