Cold can come in two forms:
One from the outside—like the current northern climate.
The other from the inside—many people in the south are also sensitive to cold.
Understanding today’s “Three Warm Yang Points” will help you become a vibrant little furnace.
In this season, regardless of whether you are in the north or south, the impact of the environment makes human immunity and metabolic speed particularly important. Especially in the north, where the temperature can drop suddenly, it is crucial to warm yourself from the inside out. Here, I will share three major acupuncture points that help us open the meridians and enhance our resistance——the “Three Warm Yang Points”.
Shenzhu Point (身柱穴)
1. Location: On the back, located in the depression below the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra, approximately level with the highest point of the scapula.
2. Function: Shenzhu is on the Du Mai (督脉), which governs all Yang in the body. It is a key point for tonifying Yang and strengthening the body.
3. Method: Massage and moxibustion, or apply a warming plaster like the Yuan Yang patch.
4. Time: Moxibustion on Shenzhu can be done every other day or 2-3 times a week, with each session lasting 10-15 minutes.
Gaohuang Point (膏肓穴)
1. Location: Located on both sides of the fourth thoracic vertebra, three inches lateral to the spine, at the seam of the scapula.
2. Function: Gaohuang Point is on the Bladder Meridian (膀胱经) and can relieve pain, tonify deficiency, and nourish Yin and moisten the lungs.
3. Method: Perform moxibustion at a distance of 2-3 cm from the skin.
4. Time: Moxibustion generally lasts about 10-15 minutes, and can be done daily or every other day.
Yangchi Point (阳池穴)
1. Location: Yangchi is on the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian (手少阳三焦经), located in the wrist area, in the depression on the ulnar side of the extensor tendons at the wrist crease.
2. Function: Massaging Yangchi can help to raise Yang Qi and connect the exterior and interior. It is particularly effective for treating headaches, deafness, wrist pain, and thirst, and is also beneficial for women with cold hands and feet.
3. Method: Rub the two Yangchi points against each other to improve cold hands and feet, and it is very effective for wrist pain from mouse use.
4. Time: Rub the hands together for about 1 minute.
