The point of longevity

Although this point is located on the Stomach channel and can be used to treat almost any digestive disorder, it is most famously known for its ability to invigorate the energy of your entire body. Like an incredible night’s sleep, this point has the ability to draw in and fill up your internal reservoir of energy. Imagine it as your charging station. Plugging in and warming this point has systemic effects, providing all your major systems with nourishment. It is known as the point of ‘one hundred diseases’ for its ability to resolve hundreds of health conditions by supporting the root cause: insufficient energy.

Due diligence in applying pressure to this point helps your body to recharge on a daily basis. Applying any of the several moxibustion or heat therapy techniques, has additional benefits. For more information on using moxibustion to warm and recharge your body read here.
