Among the acupuncture points of the Heart Sutra, the Jiquan acupoint is the highest, and it is the first acupoint of the Heart Sutra, which is an extremely important acupoint in the Heart Sutra.
"extreme", the meaning of high and extreme; "Spring", the main blood of the heart, such as the flow of water, hence the name spring; The meaning of "Extreme Spring" refers to the highest water source, that is to say, this acupuncture point is at the highest point of the Heart Sutra, so it is called "Extreme Spring Acupoint".

When we are coaxing children, when we scratch the armpits with our hands, the children will laugh non-stop. In fact, this just stimulated his itchy Jiquan acupoint, which moved his heart, and his heart was happy, so the child would laugh happily.
First, the location of the acupoint
The Jiquan point is located at the apex of the axilla, where the axillary artery pulses (the deepest part of the axilla). If you touch your armpits, you will feel a blood vessel beating again and again, and that is where the Jiquan acupoint is located.
Second, the efficacy of the indications
The Heart Sutra is the official of the monarch, and people often say that "the power is not enough", but in fact the heart is powerless. If you don't think so, you continue to force your heart to work beyond the heart's load, and your heart will stop beating.
Therefore, when you feel tired and weak, you should massage the Jiquan acupoint in time, and use external force to help the heart to promote the flow of blood. Older people can use the Jiquan acupoint as a heart balancer, if the heart rate is too fast, it can help you slow down, and if the heart rate is too slow, it can make it faster.
If you want to live a peaceful old age, don't forget to massage the Jiquan acupoint frequently.
Treat depression and palpitations
If a person is often depressed, a bag will grow under his armpits, that is, on the Jiquan acupoint, which is a phenomenon of mental qi being stagnant. If you pluck the Jiquan acupoint, you can dissolve the lump, and you can relieve the disease of heart meridian stagnation.
Other times, you will find that a sudden small movement or a sudden event may make your heart beat faster, and you will feel chest tightness, dizziness, headache, sweating, weakness, and even not want to eat. This is known as palpitations, which are a sign of excessive fatigue and emotional instability.
At this time, just plucking the Jiquan point under the armpit can relax the heart.
Jiquan acupoint is one of the key acupoints on the heart meridian, and it is the gathering site of lymph, so often pressing and kneading Jiquan acupoint can effectively dredge the meridians at the heart meridian, so as to play a role in dispelling dampness and detoxification.
Take the left Jiquan acupoint as an example, the specific method is: the left upper arm is slightly abducted, exposing the armpit Jiquan acupoint, and then touching the left Jiquan acupoint with the index finger and middle finger of the right hand together, and finding a cord near the acupuncture point, at this time, fix the index finger and middle finger and make the fingertips gently buckle, and bounce the plucked cord back and forth one after the other, and there will be a full-hand electric numbness when plucking, and each plucking can be about 10 times.
If you take a deep breath while plucking while stimulating the Extreme Spring Point, the effect is even better.
The massage on the right is similar. For those who have a bad heart, it is recommended to massage the heart meridian and pericardial meridian more in summer to maintain the heart, and the maintenance of the heart in summer is twice as effective as in other seasons.
Press the kneading method
During the massage, sit upright, raise your left arm, bend your elbow, raise your palm up, and palm facing your head; Use the tip of the middle finger of the right hand to press the middle depression of the left armpit, if there is a particularly sore feeling, rub and press for 2~3 minutes; Then press the right acupuncture point in the same way; Rub once a day, in the morning and once in the evening.
