Hello! I'm Lee Se-rin, a doctor at Tongin Korean Medicine Clinic. π§π»ββοΈ
We've been sharing special 'acupressure pointsβ for Family Month in May with the EEUTs.
Now, I would like to introduce the π₯Fire-Grade Acupressure Points for BEST Sons and Daughters β the kind that will make your parents love you even more! (Itβs great for their healthβ¦ though it might be painful a little π )
Letβs explore some head-to-toe acupressure points β so get your thumbs ready and follow along!
1. Jeong-myeong [Jingming] - Worried about your parents' eye health?
The Jeong-myeong point, located at the inner corner of the eye, uses the Chinese characters for 'eye pupil (η)' and 'bright (ζ)'. It's a mysterious acupoint that brightens the eyes.
When pressing this area, relaxing your thumb and gently massage it is good. π
Since the skin around the eyes is so thin, and the fat and muscle layers are also not thick, gently massage in circles with a relaxed thumb!
This acupoint helps blood circulation around the eyes and relaxes tired eye muscles.
The Jeong-myeong point is also effective for dry eyes and headaches. Don't miss it!
π‘Tip: It's good to place a warm, wet towel on your parents' eyes before massaging. When massaging, do it slowly and gently.
2. Gyeon-jeong [Jianjing]- to Loosen Our Parents' Stiff Shoulders
The Gyeon-jeong point on the shoulder is at the center of the trapezius muscle.
The trapezius muscle is an amazing part that works hard!
It occupies a large area on the back of the body and is responsible for the movement of the neck, shoulders, and shoulder blades.
As it plays the role of a strong supporter holding up the neck from the back, the fatigue of the day accumulates in this trapezius muscle.
The massage method? Press the Gyeon-jeong point firmly with your thumb!
Instead of rubbing or kneading, recommend pressing firmly for at least 10 seconds, enough to stimulate the area.
You need to give a sufficiently long stimulation to the muscle for the brain to recognize, 'Oh? Is this a signal to relax the muscle?'
π‘Tip: If you want more stimulation, press the Gyeon-jeong point firmly and ask your parents to shake their heads left and right~. The refreshing feeling will be doubled!
3. Su-sam-ni [Shousanli] - Superstar in Korean Medicine
Next is the Susamni point.
Does the name sound unfamiliar? No way! It's a superstar in Korean medicine. π
The Susamni point can be found slightly below the elbow crease.
Please place your hand on the forearm and flap your wrist up and down.
The muscle you feel moving is the 'wrist extensor muscle,' and the Susamni point is located right on top of this muscle.
Although this muscle can be considered only for lifting the wrist, it assists in all hand and arm movements.
If this area is not properly loosened, it can even lead to tennis elbow. π₯²
For our parents who have tirelessly used their arms while raising us, letβs give them a nice & good press and loosen their Susamni points! π
4. Jogu [Tiaokou] - to Relieve Tiredness in Weakened Ankles
Let's move on to the lower body, and, next stop is the Jogu point.
The Jogu point is located on the middle of the front shin.
Remember how the Susamni point was on the muscle that lifts the wrist? The Joguhpoint is located on the 'tibialis anterior muscle' that lifts the foot.
The tibialis anterior muscle greatly assists in ankle movement when walking, so tiredness and damage can accumulate in this area from excessive walking or ankle injuries.
Those who have used this muscle a lot may even experience swelling in the big toe, mistakenly thinking it's gout.
Starting from the Jogu point, move your thumb up and down and press firmly!
It will feel refreshingly different from loosening the back of the calf!
5. Yong-cheon [Yongquan] - to Relieve Stress
Tada! The crown jewel of acupressure! We've arrived at the Yongcheon point.
It is located in the depressed area around the front 1/3 of the sole of the foot.
It's also the most crucial point when massaging the soles of the feet.
The soles of the feet have a dense distribution of sensory nerves as they need to be sensitive when walking.
Pressing the Yongcheon point transmits the stimulation of these nerves in the sole to the brain.
At this time, the parasympathetic nervous system stabilizes the body and is particularly stimulated, providing effects such as stress relief and blood pressure stabilization.
In Korean medicine, the Yongcheon point is said to pull down the rising heat.
The Yongcheon point can calm down insomnia, tinnitus, high blood pressure, or surging anger. It's an essential acupressure point for parents! π

How were the five caring acupressure points for your parents?
Today, we've learned about the acupoints that can relieve your parents' fatigue. π₯°
I hope you can have a warm conversation with your parents under the pretext of giving them acupressure!
Above all, the best filial piety is simply spending time with them. π
