Let’s take a look together at the location and function of the Yinlingquan acupoint below.

The Yinlingquan acupoint is located on the inner side of the lower leg, just below the malleolus on the inner side of the ankle. Take the most comfortable posture (sitting or lying down), and use your thumbs to gently press on both sides of the Yinlingquan. Press and knead it, allowing the stimulation to reach the deep layer of the muscle tissue, and cause sensations of soreness, numbness, distension, pain, heat, and窜 (a Chinese character meaning ‘to rush’ or ‘to spread’). Maintain a certain amplitude, and use your thumbs to tap the local muscles up and down. Each time, massage for 5 to 10 minutes, press lightly 15 to 20 times per minute, twice or three times a day. You can also place a moxa patch ignited about 3 cm above the acupoint, making the local area feel warm and moist without burning pain. Generally, we use the Yinlingquan acupoint for about ten minutes each time in our daily life. If the time is too long, it may cause some unnecessary inconvenience, so we should pay attention to the duration of moxibustion.

Moderate stimulation of the Yinlingquan acupoint can have the effects of clearing cold and dampness, strengthening the spleen and stomach to promote Qi, and relaxing tendons and promoting blood circulation. It can also help alleviate bloating, diarrhea, edema, and knee pain. In addition, many people who walk, shop, and go shopping a lot often feel that their legs are quite heavy, a bit bloated and acidic. At this time, you can also pat the Yinlingquan to relieve fatigue. It can be seen that the Yinlingquan acupoint has many functions and effects, and the treatment effect on our body’s symptoms is also quite prominent. Therefore, if we have this kind of disease, then we can treat it by massaging the Yinlingquan acupoint.
