The position of Yinbai (SP1) is on the medial side of the terminal phalanx of the big toe, and it belongs to the Foot Taiyin Spleen Channel. It can regulate menstruation, strengthen the spleen, and soothe the nerves. If patients experience abnormal conditions such as increased menstrual flow, hematuria, or hemafeces, they can seek traditional Chinese medicine treatment at a formal hospital. Yinbai can be stimulated through acupuncture, moxibustion, tuina (massage), and other methods to prevent the body's stimulation from worsening.
Stimulating Yinbai can treat various physical conditions, including gynecological diseases, mental illnesses, spleen, and stomach diseases. Stimulating Yinbai in traditional Chinese medicine can assist in alleviating symptoms but may not provide a complete cure. If patients need moxibustion treatment, improper operation may cause some irritation to the local skin, resulting in a burning sensation. For acupuncture or scraping therapy, practitioners need to control the intensity of treatment to avoid continuous impact on the acupuncture points. The therapeutic effect of a single acupuncture point is not particularly significant, so during treatment, stimulating other acupuncture points such as Zusanli (ST36), Weishu (BL21), and Qihai (CV6) can also be considered. If the body's stimulation continues to increase, patients should promptly visit the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the best treatment window. After receiving traditional Chinese medicine treatment, patients should also keep their bodies warm to avoid catching a cold.
