Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese therapy that involves burning mugwort (a type of herb) near the ST36 point to warm and stimulate the area. This method is thought to enhance the effects of acupressure and acupuncture by adding the element of heat, which can further invigorate the Qi and blood.
4. Electrostimulation
Some practitioners use electrostimulation, where a small electrical current is passed through the needles placed at ST36. This can intensify the stimulation and is often used in modern acupuncture practices to enhance the therapeutic effects.
Stomach 36, the “Point of Endurance,” is a remarkable spot on the body with a wide array of health benefits. Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, improve digestion, increase energy, or simply maintain your overall well-being, stimulating ST36 can be an effective and natural way to support your health. By incorporating acupressure or acupuncture on this point into your routine, you can tap into the ancient wisdom of TCM to enhance your body’s resilience, vitality, and longevity.
