"What Are the Acupoints of the Pericardium Meridian?"

The pericardium meridian typically refers to the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian. The acupuncture points of the Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian mainly include Tianchi (PC1), Tianquan (PC2), Quze (PC3), Ximen (PC4), Jianshi (PC5), Neiguan (PC6), Daling (PC7), Laogong (PC8), and Zhongchong (PC9). The Hand Jueyin Pericardium Meridian is one of the twelve primary meridians and is distributed across the chest and ribs, the medial aspect of the upper limbs, the palms, and the middle fingers. By massaging these acupuncture points, it is generally possible to improve conditions affecting the medial aspect of the upper limbs and alleviate pericardium-related conditions such as chest distress, palpitations, and vexation. However, the procedure should be performed by a doctor to avoid ineffective treatment and potential harm to the body due to improper techniques. During the massage, patients need to remain relaxed, avoid stiffness throughout the body, and refrain from experiencing excessive emotional fluctuations. It should be noted that people with open wounds, women during menstruation or pregnancy, frail elderly individuals, and others in similar conditions are unsuitable for massage as it may cause harm to their bodies. After the massage, it is important to take measures to stay warm and avoid catching a cold, and to ensure adequate rest to prevent excessive fatigue. Regular participation in physical exercises such as playing table tennis, cycling, golf, and others can, to a certain extent, enhance the body's resistance to disease and facilitate recovery.
