There is a very important point on the pericardium meridian, which is the extreme spring point. If a person is often depressed, a bag will grow under his armpit, that is, on the extreme spring point, which is the phenomenon that his heart is depressed. If the Jiquan point is plucked, the mass can be dissolved, and the disease of heart meridian stagnation can be alleviated. Sometimes, you will find that a sudden little gesture or an unexpected event by others may make your heart beat faster, and you may feel chest tightness, dizziness, headache, sweating, weakness and even don't want to eat. This situation is palpitation, which is a manifestation of excessive fatigue and emotional instability. At this time, as long as you pluck the extreme spring point under the armpit, you can relax your heart.

children like to tickle each other, that is, tickle each other's armpits. This little gesture actually has a very good health care function. On holidays, when family members sit together and chat, they might as well relive this childhood. A prank? Scratch your armpit for your family. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, tickling can stimulate an important point in the armpit-Jiquan point. This point is the first important point for the heart meridian of hand shaoyin, which is located at the apex of armpit and the beating place of axillary artery. Frequently plucking the polar spring has the function of circulating qi and blood, so it can broaden the chest, regulate qi and protect the heart and lungs.

The best massage method for Jiquan point is plucking, but the harder you pluck, the better. The plucking strength should be soft and the movements should be consistent, and violence should not be used. The amount of plucking each time should be suitable for people, and you should pluck moderately according to your current physical condition, generally plucking about 1 times.

Take plucking the left extreme spring point as an example. The specific method is as follows: the left upper arm is slightly extended to expose the extreme spring point under the armpit, and then the right index finger and middle finger are brought together to touch the left extreme spring point, and a cord shape is found near the acupuncture point. At this time, the index finger and middle finger are fixed and the fingertip is slightly buckled, and the cord-like object is plucked back and forth, so that a full flashlight will feel numb when plucking, and plucking can be done for about 1 times each time. It is best to put a layer of cloth between the index finger, the middle finger and the acupoint, which can reduce the patient's itching on the one hand and increase the friction between the index finger and the skin at the acupoint on the other hand, which is convenient for operation. When plucking, make the electric numbness feel in your hand, and take a deep breath while plucking.
