This guide introduces the location of the Shenmen acupoint and three massage techniques to help improve issues such as insomnia, anxiety, and palpitations, while also emphasizing the importance of establishing a sleep ritual.

The Tongli acupoint (HT5) is a key point in Traditional Chinese Medicine for regulating emotions and stress. Stimulating this point can calm the spirit (Shen), improve anxiety and insomnia, and promote mind-body balance. Simple self-acupressure and stretching exercises can effectively relieve the stress of modern life.

The hamstrings are an important muscle group on the back of the thigh. Prolonged sitting can cause them to become tight and weak, which affects the body's balance and athletic performance. Through massage, myofascial release, and functional strengthening, it is possible to alleviate tightness, prevent injury, and enhance mobility.

Massaging the Lidui point can improve indigestion, relieve stress and insomnia, and promote mind-body harmony. The effects are enhanced when combined with other acupoints, making it suitable for integration into daily self-care.
