The Taiyuan acupoint is the acupuncture point of the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand, in the anterior area of the wrist, between the radial styloid process and the scaphoid bone, in the ulnar depression of the abductor pollicis longus tendon.
Tai means big, abyss, is the abyss, acupoint is the original acupoint of the lung meridian, one of the eight acupoints of the vein. Its pulse is large, broad and deep, and is called the abyss.
The Yuji acupoint is also the acupuncture point of the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand, the outside of the hand, the midpoint of the radial side of the first metacarpal bone, the red and white flesh, mainly used for cough, hemoptysis, dry throat, sore throat, loss of voice, etc.
During the massage, use the fingertips of our thumbs to press on the fish acupoint, apply pressure to the acupuncture points, and rotate and knead to make the local feeling soreness and numbness, and press and knead for about three minutes each time. The same method is used to knead the Taiyuan acupoint.
You can also use the method of gua sha to scrape the Taiyuan acupoint and the Yuji acupoint.
First prepare a gua sha board and an appropriate amount of essential oils, use a hot towel to wipe the large fish agent to the skin of the wrist radius and the inner side of the neck, evenly apply some essential oils, hold the gua sha board in your hand, put the thicker edge of the gua sha board to the position of the thenar point, the gua sha board is tilted down 45 degrees, from the front to the back, along the radial edge of the large thenar and the inner side of the radius neck of the wrist to scrape, from the large thenar to one cm behind the radial styloid process, focusing on scraping the thenar and Taiyuan points, each time scraping 30 to 40 times, once every other day.
Don't use too much force when scraping, so that the skin feels hot and red. If the gua sha force is too strong, there will be some red sha spots on the skin, it is best to wait for five or six days to wait for the skin to return to normal before doing a second gua sha.
If chronic pharyngitis is more severe, you can also ask a professional acupuncturist to help you with acupuncture or use other therapies to stimulate the Yuji and Taiyuan acupoints, which will have a better effect.
