The Lieque acupoint (LU7) is an important acupoint in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that can promote immunity, relieve stiff shoulders and neck, respiratory discomfort, and stress. It also improves mood and balances mind and body, making it suitable for daily self-care.
Warm water foot soaks can promote blood circulation, relieve stress, and improve sleep. The effects are even better when combined with foot massage (or foot reflexology). They are suitable for daily health maintenance, but it is important to be aware of contraindications and safety precautions.
Key Points The Chize acupoint (LU5) is located on the elbow crease, in the depression lateral to the biceps brachii tendon, and is an important point on the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. Its main effects include improving respiratory system function, relieving elbow and arm discomfort, and regulating overall body balance. Self-care can be performed using methods such as acupressure, Gua Sha, and Patting (Pai Da). Self-massage method: Press or knead with the thumb pad for 1-3 minutes on each side, once or twice daily. When performing Gua Sha, ensure pressure is moderate and avoid overstimulation. Individuals with special conditions (e.g., pregnancy, taking anticoagulant medication) should first seek advice from their doctor/GP. These self-care methods are simple and easy to do, can be integrated into daily life, and consistent practice over time contributes to maintaining health.
A morning glass of warm boiled water is key to activating bodily functions, helping to awaken metabolism and promote digestion. Warm water (around body temperature or slightly higher) promotes blood circulation and improves the flexibility of muscles and fascia. Sufficient hydration enhances massage effectiveness, allowing muscles to relax more easily and fascia to glide more smoothly. Drinking 200-300 ml of pure, warm boiled water, sipped slowly, is recommended. Continuous hydration helps consolidate massage benefits, speed up recovery, and reduce post-massage discomfort. Good hydration habits are a vital foundation for achieving a 'Happy Healthy Life' and can enhance overall health quality.
