Modern individuals often consume too much rich and greasy food, along with cold and raw items, while lacking sufficient daily exercise, leading to a prevalence of phlegm-damp constitution.
The phlegm-damp constitution can cause many issues, such as acne, frequent throat clearing in the morning, persistent phlegm, and high blood lipids, all of which are manifestations of phlegm-damp. In severe cases, it can lead to cardiovascular problems and increase the risk of stroke.
Regularly massaging or tapping the Fenglong (Stomach 40) acupoint can help expel phlegm and dampness, providing excellent health benefits. There have been clinical cases of successful treatment, making it a valuable acupoint.
A friend of mine had a cold with excessive phlegm, and after massaging the Fenglong (Stomach 40) acupoint, their throat felt much clearer quickly.
Another friend suddenly coughed and was awakened at night by phlegm blockage; after applying a Fenglong (Stomach 40) patch for a day, they recovered quickly.
One friend experienced a lot of coughing after scraping the Fenglong (Stomach 40), which is a sign of phlegm expulsion.
The location of the Fenglong (Stomach 40) acupoint is shown in the video.
The following video is sourced from acupuncturist Zhang Baoxun. In addition to massage, guasha can also be performed along the line from Yanglingquan (Gallbladder 34) to Fenglong (Stomach 40), scraping back and forth until redness appears, which can clear the lungs, expel phlegm, and eliminate dampness. Light guasha does not necessarily need to produce marks; tapping until redness is sufficient.
