If your skin is dry and itchy, look for the anti-itch "triangle" on your body
There is a special combination of acupuncture points in our body that nourishes blood, invigorates blood and relieves itching, and in a specific part of our body, it is the inner and upper triangle of the knee joint.
The first acupuncture point in the "triangle" to relieve itching: Xuehai acupoint
The Blood Sea Point is on the inner thigh, from the upper corner of the inner kneecap, about three fingers wide above the groove of the muscles, where I feel pain when I press it.
Cover the kneecap with our palms (right palm on the left knee, left palm on the right knee), five fingers facing up, the palm of the hand is naturally open, and under the end of the thumb is the blood sea point.
We have talked about this acupuncture point before, it has the effect of nourishing and invigorating blood.
The second acupuncture point of the "triangle" to relieve itching: the nest of insects
Above the Blood Sea Cave, in the direction of the abdomen, there is a meridian acupoint, a nest of hundred insects. The name sounds itchy, so this acupuncture point is specifically for itching.
These two acupuncture points are matched together, which can not only nourish blood, invigorate blood, but also relieve itching, and specifically treat itching caused by blood deficiency and heat.
The third acupuncture point of the "triangle" to relieve itching: Ququan acupoint
Below the Xuehai acupoint, near our popliteal fossa, there is an acupuncture point of the Yin and Liver meridians of the foot and the spleen, Ququan acupoint, which has the effect of cooling the blood.
They are positioned close together, both in the medial upper part of the knee joint, forming a triangle. Blood deficiency is suitable for nourishment, these three acupuncture points have their own characteristics, the sea of blood focuses on nourishing blood and activating blood, and the blood is sufficient to be able to stop itching.
How does it work?
We can use our palms to rub within the range of the triangle formed by these three acupuncture points, and just rub it hot.
