Overview of the efficacy and function of the cell membrane point

The acupuncture point is an important acupoint on the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, located in the second posterior sacral foramen of the sacrum. Its main functions include regulating the genitourinary system, relieving lumbosacral pain, and improving qi and blood circulation in the lower limbs.Its functions can be divided into three categories:One is to treat urinary system diseases(such as frequent urination, anuria);The second is to improve gynecological problems(such as dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation);The third is to assist in relieving waist and leg discomfort.(such as sciatica).It is often used clinically with acupuncture or moxibustion and needs to be operated by a professional physician.

Regulation of the genitourinary system

The inner part of the cell has a significant regulating effect on the genitourinary system.Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that stimulating this acupoint can clear the bladder meridian and relieve symptoms such as urinary retention and prostatitis.Modern research shows that acupuncture at the pelvis acupoint can promote pelvic blood circulation and help improve women's irregular menstruation or postpartum pelvic congestion.For example, "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng" records that it "treats difficulty in urination and distension in the lower abdomen", while "Lei Jing Tu Yi" emphasizes its curative effect on "women's intracellular diseases".

Application for lumbosacral pain and lower extremity problems

The acupuncture point is located in the sacrum, adjacent to the sciatic nerve pathway, so it has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on lumbosacral pain and numbness of the lower limbs.In clinical practice, it is often used in conjunction with Huantiao point and Weizhong point. Through moxibustion or electro-acupuncture stimulation, it can relax local muscle spasm and reduce the radiation pain caused by lumbar disc herniation.It is worth noting that this point needs to be accurately positioned with a depth of about 1-1.5 inches to avoid damaging the sacral nerve.

Operation methods and precautions

Professional techniques are required to stimulate the intracellular points: for acupuncture, use the prone position and insert the needle vertically 0.8-1.2 inches; for moxibustion, use gentle moxibustion for 10-15 minutes.It is forbidden for pregnant women and people with skin infection, and it should be used with caution by patients with diabetes.Currently, there are no special instruments for this acupuncture point on the market, but some acupuncture equipment manufacturers (such asHuatuo brandacupuncture needles,Jianmin Groupmoxa sticks) products can be used for operation.

Summary and scientific understanding

As an important point in traditional acupuncture therapy, the cell membrane point has both theoretical support from ancient books and modern clinical verification.However, it must be clear that acupoint treatment must be combined with overall syndrome differentiation and cannot replace regular medical treatment.For patients with chronic diseases, it is recommended to receive comprehensive treatment under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and avoid blind self-operation.
