Cataract? You can try these acupuncture points, and you will have unexpected results!
Cataract is an ophthalmic disease with opacity of the lens of the eye as the main symptom, including congenital and acquired. Among them, acquired cataract is closely related to body aging, metabolic abnormalities, accidental injuries, etc. Massaging many acupuncture points on the eyes, such as eye light, bamboo, wind pool, etc., can help reduce intraocular pressure and help the eyes get a good rest, thereby preventing the occurrence or deterioration of cataracts. The massage of Guangming acupoint and Taichong acupoint is conducive to promoting blood circulation and helping the eyes relieve cataract symptoms. In addition, the liver has a close relationship with the eyes, and regular massage of the liver and Yu acupoints can make the eyes brighter and more energetic.
