Lovers and friends sometimes have physical contact during play, and they also like to tickle each other, that is, tickle each other’s armpits. This little action actually has a very good health care effect. When girlfriends get together to chat, they may as well revisit this little “prank” and scratch each other’s armpits.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, tickling can stimulate an important acupoint in the armpit – Jiquan acupoint. This point is the first important point of the heart meridian of Shaoyin in the hand, which is located at the apex of the armpit and the axillary artery pulse. Regular plucking of Jiquan can make Qi and blood circulate, so it can broaden the chest, regulate qi and maintain the heart and lungs.
The best massage method of Jiquan acupoint is plucking, but the harder you pluck, the better. The strength of plucking should be soft, the action should be consistent, and violence is prohibited. The amount of plucking should be appropriate for each person. It should be appropriate according to your current physical condition, generally about 10 times.
Take the plucking of the left Jiquan point as an example. The specific method is: slightly extend the left upper arm to expose the axillary Jiquan point, then touch the left Jiquan point with the index finger and middle finger of the right hand together, and find a rope near the point. At this time, fix the index finger and middle finger and make the fingertips buckle slightly, and rebound the plucking rope like objects one by one. When plucking, there will be a full hand electric numbness, and each time you pluck about 10 times.
It is better to separate a layer of cloth between the index finger, the middle finger and the acupoints, which can reduce the itching of the patient on the one hand, and increase the friction between the index finger and the skin at the acupoints on the other hand, which is convenient for operation. When plucking, make the hand feel numb and breathe deeply while plucking.
