Zusanli (ST36)

Zusanli (足三里), is one of the most important and commonly used acupuncture points in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

📍 Location
a simple way to find it:

1. Place your hand just below your kneecap
2. Measure four fingers downward
3. Move slightly outward from the shinbone — you’ll feel a tender spot

Zusanli is known as a powerful tonifying point (it strengthens the body):

👉 Self-Massage (Acupressure)

You can stimulate it yourself:
• Use your thumb or knuckle
• Apply firm pressure
• Massage in circles for 1–2 minutes on each leg
• You should feel a dull, slightly achy sensation (this is normal)

⸻

⚠️ Safety Notes
• Generally safe for self-massage
• Avoid strong stimulation if you have injury or inflammation in the area
• For acupuncture (needles), always see a qualified practitioner

Tip

For daily wellness, the best time is between 7:00–9:00 AM, when the stomach meridian is most active.

What are ear seeds?

Ear seeds are a gentle form of auricular acupressure based on traditional Chinese medicine. Small seeds are placed on specific points of the ear to provide subtle, ongoing stimulation throughout the day.

You can gently press them for extra support whenever needed, and they typically stay on for 3–4 days.

At my clinic, I often use ear seeds as a complimentary treatment alongside acupuncture to help extend the benefits between sessions and support ongoing regulation.

Discover the Benefits of Cupping Therapy ✨

Cupping therapy, a technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been used for centuries to support healing and restore balance in the body.

At R&Y Acupuncture clinic, cupping is often combined with acupuncture to enhance results and promote deeper recovery.

💆‍♀️ How Cupping Can Help:

✔ Relieves back, neck, and shoulder pain
✔ Reduces muscle tension and stiffness
✔ Improves circulation
✔ Supports faster recovery from workouts
✔ Helps reduce stress and promote relaxation
✔ May ease headaches and migraines

The gentle suction increases blood flow to targeted areas, helping to release tight muscles, move stagnation, and encourage the body’s natural healing response.

You may notice circular marks after treatment — these are not bruises, but signs of improved circulation that typically fade within a few days.

🌿 Safe. Natural. Effective.
