Acupuncture Point in TCM — Shen Jue Point
The navel area is referred to as “Shen Jue Point” in the Classic of TCM Meridians, which is a key point of the Ren Meridian. It connects with all the meridians in the body, facilitating communication between the interior and exterior, hence the saying “the navel connects to all meridians.” The method of applying Chinese medicine to the navel involves directly applying the medicine or using moxibustion, hot compresses, etc., to the patient’s navel, stimulating the qi of the meridians, promoting the flow of qi and blood, and regulating the internal organs, serving as a form of external treatment for preventing and treating diseases.
