How to Stimulate Stomach 36

There are several methods to stimulate ST36, depending on your preference and resources:

1. Acupressure Apply pressure to the ST36 point using your fingers or a blunt instrument. To locate it, measure approximately four finger-widths below the kneecap and one finger-width to the outside of the shinbone. Apply firm but gentle pressure for 2 to 3 minutes, using a circular motion. This can be done daily for overall health or more frequently to address specific conditions such as fatigue or digestive issues.
2. Acupuncture Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into the ST36 point for precise stimulation. This method should be performed by a professional acupuncturist and can offer deeper stimulation, making it effective for chronic conditions or severe health issues.
3. Moxibustion Moxibustion is a traditional technique where mugwort (an herb) is burned near the ST36 point to warm and invigorate the area. This method is believed to enhance the effects of acupressure and acupuncture by adding heat, which stimulates Qi and circulation.
4. Electrical Stimulation Some practitioners use electrostimulation, which involves passing a small electrical current through needles inserted at ST36. This technique can amplify the stimulation and is commonly used in modern acupuncture treatments to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
