Meridian Acupoints
In the "Huangdi Neijing: Ling Shu: Xie Ke Pian", it is stated: "The spleen has pathogens, and its qi lingers in the two thighs." This means that if there is a disease in the spleen and stomach, there will inevitably be pathogenic qi stagnating in the two thighs.
The two thighs refer to the groin area where the inner thigh meets the lower abdomen, which is the pathway of the spleen meridian. Therefore, tapping the groin can open the spleen meridian, thereby strengthening the spleen.
Modern people who sit for long periods can cause the circulation of qi and blood to slow down, leading to a decline in the spleen and stomach’s transformation and transportation functions, making it easy to form phlegm-dampness and stagnation.
Tapping the two thighs can not only accelerate the circulation of qi and blood, eliminate pathogens, and regulate the spleen and stomach, but also stimulate two acupoints that are very effective in treating gynecological diseases: Qichong (Qi Chong) and Chongmen (Chong Men).
Qichong is located in the groin area, on the inner side of the thigh, and is effective for treating irregular menstruation, infertility, dysmenorrhea, and cold feet. Chongmen is located on the outer side of the groin and is effective for treating leukorrhea and gynecological inflammation.When tapping, there is no need to find the exact acupoint; a broad area nearby can be tapped, which will strengthen the spleen and stomach while treating various gynecological diseases.People who are very overweight often have a fundamental issue of spleen deficiency, leading to decreased transformation and transportation of water and dampness. Tapping the two thighs can effectively regulate the spleen and stomach, transforming the body from an obese state to a normal state, while also preventing the accumulation of fat, restoring a slim figure.
Method for Tapping the Two ThighsMethod: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and feel the tailbone curling inward (if you often feel back pain from standing for long periods, this position can help relieve pressure and protect yourself). Start from the shoulders and use inertia to tap the groin area where the inner thigh meets the lower abdomen with both hands, gradually increasing the force from light to heavy until the groin feels slightly warm. It is best to tap two to three times a day for 5-10 minutes each time.
Note: The tapping force must be controlled; it should not be too heavy, as the two thighs are close to important organs such as the liver and gallbladder. Excessive force can affect the normal transformation and transportation functions of these organs.Avoid wind while tapping, and the duration should be around 15-20 minutes. Do not tap during menstruation or pregnancy.Reactions After Tapping1. The abdomen will go from cool to warm and then hot, as if a heating pad is inside, and after stopping tapping, there may still be a vibrating sensation inside.2. The lower abdomen can cause the entire back and body to feel warm.3. Sweating from the soles of the feet.4. Burping and passing gas.5. The groin may show different colored bruises, which will gradually disappear after a few days.6. The inner thigh may feel warm and itchy (a sign of qi and blood circulation).Note: If there are spots from tapping on the two thighs, drink more boiled water to help detoxify the body.Benefits of Tapping the Two Thighs1. Weight loss for the overweight, weight gain for the underweight.Being too fat or too thin is due to the decreased transformation ability of the spleen, where food is not absorbed, leading to being skinny; or food is not transformed, leading to being soft and plump.By tapping the groin, which is the pathway of the spleen meridian, we strengthen the spleen meridian, enhancing its ability to transform and absorb, allowing the overweight to lose weight and the underweight to gain weight.2. Improves constipation and clears accumulated stool.Tapping the groin directly accelerates intestinal peristalsis.If you have not had a bowel movement for two days, continuous tapping for half an hour to an hour can lead to immediate bowel movement.If you have regular bowel movements, it is still worth tapping; after a few days, you may expel very hard small particles, which are the accumulated stool you never believed could come out, providing an experience unlike any previous bowel movement.3. Improves gynecological issues and menstrual problems.The body’s folds (joints) are the easiest places to harbor pathogens, just like how the folds of clothes easily collect dust.When sitting for long periods, the groin area is often curled up, causing qi and blood circulation to stagnate and slow down. Toxins and coldness can also accumulate here.Regularly tapping the groin promotes blood circulation and unblocks the meridians, like clearing a blocked river, allowing qi and blood to flow smoothly, thus breaking through the toxins and coldness that have accumulated here.Doing this for one hour daily and persisting for a week will show results.4. Improves cold uterus, dysmenorrhea, and gynecological inflammation.Tapping the groin effectively stimulates two acupoints that are very effective for treating gynecological diseases—Qichong and Chongmen.Qichong is located in the groin area, on the inner side of the thigh, and is effective for treating irregular menstruation, infertility, dysmenorrhea, and cold feet, while Chongmen is located on the outer side of the groin and is effective for treating binglou (abnormal uterine bleeding), leukorrhea, and gynecological inflammation.Through tapping, we continuously provide deep vibrations here, accelerating the circulation of qi and blood, allowing the blood vessels to be unblocked, expelling coldness, and gradually reducing inflammation.
