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.
