(quoted from "Meridians and Acupoints")
- Zhenjiu Jiayi Jing: "On the shoulder Henggu (KI11) trapped in the trap";
- Zhenfang Liuji BOOK>: "Xia Tiantu (CV22) four inches on each side";
- Zhenjiu Jicheng: "Opposite breasts, Qishe (ST11) On the inside, near the throat; Quepen (ST12) on the outside."
- Muscles: platysma, tendon between omohyoid muscles.
- Nerve: The supraclavicular intermediary nerve, the deep layer is the supraclavicular part of the brachial plexus.
- Vessels: There is the transverse cervical artery below and the subclavian artery on the medial side.
Needle shallowly for 3 to 4 minutes, avoiding going beyond the first rib to prevent pneumothorax. When the brachial plexus is stabbed, an electric shock-like sensation occurs and radiates to the upper limbs. For example, when pressing the Quepen (ST12) vertically downward with your fingers, the brachial plexus and subclavian artery can be compressed between the thumb and the first rib. This can not only numb the upper limbs and relieve pain, but also temporarily block the arterial blood flow. Therefore, after relaxing the pressing fingers, you can feel a heat passing through the upper limbs. If you press backward and inward, the stellate ganglion of the sympathetic nerve can be compressed between the thumb and the first thoracic vertebra, and the pupil will first expand and then shrink, the blood vessels of the ipsilateral limb will dilate, and the skin temperature will increase. moxa cone moxibustion 3 ~ 5 strong, moxibustion with moxa stick 5 ~ 10 minutes.
It sharpens the shoulders and arms and relieves heat in the chest.
