I'm here to send health
In modern life, many people have such troubles: chest tightness, shortness of breath, and poor breathing. Not only does this affect the quality of life, but it can also be damaging to the body over time. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that this condition is mostly caused by poor qi and stagnation of qi and blood. So, how can you make breathing easier? Today, I will introduce you to three acupuncture points that regulate the breath to help you solve the problem of chest tightness and shortness of breath.
1. Jizhong acupoint.
The acupoint is located on the chest, at the midpoint of the line between the two nipples. It is the Ren pulse acupoint, and it is also the recruitment point of the pericardial meridian. The Jizhong acupoint has a regulating effect on the flow of chest qi and blood, and has the effects of widening the chest and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving cough and asthma. Stimulation of the central acupoint can improve symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and palpitations.
Operation: Use the thumb and fingertips to press the Jizhong acupoint with moderate strength, each time for about 1 minute, 3 times a day. You can also use the method of moxibustion, after the moxa sticks are lit, they are smoked about 3 cm away from the Jizhong acupoint, 15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a week.
Second, the period of the door acupoint.
The stage portal point is located on the chest, about 1 below the nipple5 inch position. It is the acupoint of the liver meridian, which has the effect of soothing the liver and regulating qi, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis. During the stimulation period, the door acupoints help to alleviate symptoms such as chest tightness and irritability caused by liver qi stagnation.

You can also use the method of moxibustion, after the moxa sticks are lit, they are smoked and roasted about 3 cm away from the Qimen acupoint for 15 minutes each time, 2-3 times a week.
3. Taiyuan acupoint.
The Taiyuan acupoint is located at the wrist, about 05 inch position. It is the original acupoint of the lung meridian, which has the effect of nourishing the lungs and invigorating qi, relieving cough and asthma. Stimulating the Taiyuan acupoint can alleviate symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by qi deficiency.
