To stimulate the Shaohai (HT3) acupoint, you can use a point-pressing method.[1][2] Use your thumb to press on the Shaohai point, at which time you may feel localized soreness, distension, and pain. Gradually apply deep pressure, hold for ten seconds, then release. One press and one release completes a cycle. Massage the Shaohai point for 3-5 minutes each time.

Moxibustion on the Neiguan (PC6) acupoint has the effects of draining dampness, calming the heart and mind, regulating qi, and relieving pain.[3][4][5] It is particularly effective for treating symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, and forgetfulness that stem from depression.

The Yongquan (KI1) acupoint is a crucial point for neurological health and plays a significant role in disease prevention, treatment, and general health preservation.[6][7][8][9] It is especially beneficial for treating neurasthenia (nervous exhaustion) and weakness or soreness in the lower back and knees. Applying moxibustion to this point can effectively treat insomnia.
