Massaging acupressure points can lower blood lipids
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, hyperlipidemia is caused by too much "phlegm and dampness" in the body. The reason why phlegm and dampness cannot be excreted from the body is caused by the weakening of spleen transport function. Therefore, people with dyslipidemia should strengthen their spleen and dispel dampness all year round. This is the key to lowering blood lipids in traditional Chinese medicine.
"Fenglong Acupoint" and "Chengshan Acupoint" are two acupuncture points that have been regarded as being able to dispel phlegm and dampness, so you may wish to press them several times in normal times. The "Feng Lung Point" is located on the anterolateral side of the lower leg of the human body, eight inches above the tip of the outer malleolus. "Chengshan acupoint" is located in the middle of the back of the lower leg of the human body, and the acupoint should be taken in a prone position, when the calf is straightened, the sharp angle depression that appears under the calf muscles is the point.
