In the intricate web of acupressure points, some are often overlooked despite their extensive benefits. One such point is Converging Channels (Hui Zong, TE7), a Xi-cleft point on the Triple Energizer meridian. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Xi-cleft points are recognized as areas where qi and blood accumulate, making them especially effective for pain relief.
The trial compared 32 patients receiving electroacupuncture to 31 patients undergoing standard treatment. The results revealed that the electroacupuncture group had a significantly higher effectiveness rate, 93.8 percent versus 83.
9 percent, respectively, a shorter recovery period, and lower pain scores. While improvements in blood properties were noted in both groups, the electroacupuncture group experienced better therapeutic outcomes and faster improvement. Acupressure: Apply firm pressure for three to 5 seconds, release for three seconds, and repeat for one to three minutes on each side.
Massage: Use your thumb or index finger to massage the point in circular motions for one to three minutes on each side. Herbal Patch: An herbal patch overnight may provide long-lasting benefits. Advanced Techniques: For a deeper effect, trained TCM professionals can use acupuncture, cupping, or moxibustion (a gentle heat therapy with dried mugwort) on this point.
