    Spleen deficiency will affect the body's functional operation, making people feel dizzy, abdominal distension and stuffiness. So how should spleen deficiency be treated? The following acupuncture points introduced by the editor are very effective in treating spleen deficiency. What acupoints should be massaged for spleen deficiency?

    Sanyinjiao point

    Press the Sanyinjiao point with your left thumb (3 inches above the tip of the medial malleolus, at the posterior edge of the embryonic bone), and press left and right for 20 times; then press the left Sanyinjiao point with your right hand.

     

    Yinbai Point

    Use your left thumb to press the Yinbai point on the right foot (the inside of the root of the big toenail), and press left and right for 20 times; then use your right thumb to press the Yinbai point on the left foot.  

    Zusanli Point

    Press the Zusanli point (3 inches below the outer knee, outside the tibia) with the thumbs of both hands, and rotate it left and right for 30 times.

     

    Yinlingquan Point

    Put your hands on your knees, press the Yinlingquan point (lower edge of the inner tibia) with your thumbs, and rotate and rub it 20 times.

     

    Tianshu point

    Put both hands on both sides of the abdomen, press the Tianshu point (2 inches next to the navel) with your middle fingers, and massage 30 times.

    The above are five acupoints that can treat spleen deficiency. However, massage treatment of spleen deficiency requires long-term persistence. You must not stop pressing it for a day or two if you feel it has no effect. Only massage accumulated over time can play a good role in treating spleen deficiency.
