Traditional Chinese Medicine Massage for Regulating Dysmenorrhea

1. Percussion on the lumbosacral region: Use your fists to gently tap your back and sacrum with moderate force, at a uniform speed, alternating left and right, at a frequency of 100 beats per minute, until it is slightly hot.

Effect: Traditional Chinese medicine refers to menstruation as Tiangui. Tiangui is actually the essence of the kidney, and the waist is the palace of the kidney. Therefore, tapping the lumbosacral region can play a role in tonifying the kidney and filling the essence, achieving the effect of relieving pain and regulating menstruation.

2. Rubbing Taichong acupoint: Rub the right Taichong acupoint (located at the midpoint of the first metatarsal bone gap on the dorsum of the foot) with the pulp of the left thumb, preferably with a feeling of soreness. After 1 minute, rub the left Taichong acupoint with the pulp of the right thumb for 1 minute.

Effect: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Tai Chong pulse is strong, and lunar events are present. Taichong is the most important acupoint on the liver meridian, which is also effective for women with irregular menstruation. Women with physiological pain often experience varying degrees of liver stagnation and qi stagnation, while those without it experience pain. Rubbing this acupoint has the effect of soothing the liver, promoting qi flow, and relieving pain.

3. Rub and wipe the lower abdomen: Place your hands in the middle of the lower abdomen and gently rub the abdomen with a slow and gentle motion. The frequency should be controlled at about 10 times per minute until there is heat inside the lower abdomen. After rubbing the abdomen for 5 minutes, then use your hands to obliquely rub both sides of the lower abdomen from back to front in a single direction, facing the inguinal groove, with the degree of heat permeability.

Effect: The lower abdomen is the area with the uterus, and rubbing the lower abdomen can promote microcirculation and relieve pain.

4. Rubbing the uterine acupoints: The uterine acupoints are located in the lower abdomen, 4 inches below the navel, and 3 inches apart from the middle pole. Stimulating uterine acupoints is a direct cooking method for female genitalia, which has the effects of promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, regulating qi, and relieving pain.
