San Yin Jiao
There is a lesser-known Chinese saying in Europe that a woman’s beauty comes from a positive attitude, active movement, simple diet, adequate sleep, and at least a ten-minute daily massage at the San Yin Jiao point on both legs (SP6). It is believed that reflexology on these points combats aging and preserves youthfulness for longer. When combined with the stimulation of other points that can enhance ovarian function, the effect becomes even more noticeable.
So, where is San Yin Jiao located?
Look at the inner side of your leg, starting from the protruding anklebone. Place your index and middle fingers close together, excluding the thumb, and position them right on the protruding point. The tip of your index finger will point to the exact location of San Yin Jiao. This point should be massaged sequentially on both legs or simultaneously with both hands. What can you achieve with this massage?

1. Regulates the menstrual cycle, reduces blemishes, acne, and wrinkles.
Why? This point intersects four energy channels: the kidneys, the spleen, the liver, and the conception vessel. The spleen is responsible for blood circulation and Qi energy flow, while the liver regulates blood quality, and the kidneys provide initial energy. The secret lies in having a sufficient amount of blood and Qi energy circulating in a woman’s body, which leads to regular menstrual cycles. When the menstrual cycle is regular, it influences skin complexion, acne, and wrinkles. If you perform San Yin Jiao massage every evening, it can regulate your menstruation, delay the onset of menopause, and improve the condition of your skin. It’s important to note that visible results may take about a month of daily therapy. This treatment supports kidney health and their essential functions.
2. Tightens loose skin and strengthens facial muscles.
According to Chinese medicine, the condition of the spleen directly affects the elasticity of muscles. If the spleen is under attack or unwell, it will immediately affect the skin’s condition throughout the body, not just on the face. Women over 40 who wish to prevent sagging breasts, abdomen, and facial muscles are advised to massage the San Yin Jiao point daily, preferably in the evening, without neglecting their diet.
3. Improves the function of the uterus and ovaries.
The ovaries are the primary organ responsible for a woman’s youth. It’s crucial to maintain their health and stimulate them through reflexology on specific points located in the lower abdomen—points like Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, and Shen Cui (SP6).
Daily massage of these points stimulates ovarian activity, preserves their vitality, and ensures their normal function, ultimately helping to maintain youthfulness for a longer period.
Returning to the San Yin Jiao point, how should the massage be done?
It is most effective with the thumb, as it exerts the greatest force among the fingers. However, be cautious not to apply excessive pressure, as it may cause bruising. The pressing itself may cause discomfort, so it’s crucial to apply reasonable force. Additional benefits of this massage:
- Improves the functioning of the reproductive system.
- Calms the nerves.
- Acts as a general analgesic.
- Used for abdominal and genital pain.
- Alleviates painful menstruation.
- Treats uterine bleeding and more.
- Addresses potency issues.
- Reduces swelling.
- Treats muscle atrophy.
- Assists in restoring motor functions and paralysis.
- Helps with headaches, insomnia, and dizziness.
Tai Xi
This point is considered significant for harmonizing the body when there is an imbalance between different organs and systems. It has a powerful effect on overall well-being, functioning as a coordinating center. It doesn’t matter what caused the imbalance – whether it’s an energy deficiency or excess.

Tai Xi for Energy Injection
Tai Xi is located on the inner side of the ankle, in the depression above the heel bone. Many people don’t feel any sensations when stimulating Tai Xi, especially if they’re in good health. However, when pressing on it, it leaves a clear indentation. Pressure should be applied until you feel pain. Afterward, continue massaging the point until it becomes less sensitive. This process encourages blood and Qi to return to the source – the Yun Xuan point.
Tai Xi has the ability to awaken and activate the body’s inherent energy, directing it back to its source. This strengthens the body as a whole and forms the foundation of good health. Therefore, it is advised to massage this point regularly in Eastern medicine. Additionally, it’s recommended to stand on one leg daily, massage the soles of your feet, and soak your feet in hot water. All of these methods redirect Qi energy upwards towards its source.
By revitalizing Tai Xi, fresh blood can flow through all blocked channels, eliminating toxins. Why does pain occur initially when pressing the point? This is because there is a blockage in the channels. They are impassable, and pressure to the point forces the blood to break through, causing pain.
With continuous stimulation, the channels open up, and the blood flows more smoothly, alleviating the pain. Tai Xi can eliminate all stagnant conditions in the body.
Other benefits of Tai Xi include:
- Relieving dryness in the throat and mouth caused by poor salivary gland function.
- Energizing the kidneys.
- Alleviating painful menstruation.
- Providing relief for gout by addressing the root cause – excess uric acid.
- Assisting in the treatment of congenital tics.
- Addressing brain injuries.
- Aiding in cases of overwhelming grief when people can’t stop crying and mourning after tragic losses or extremely traumatic events.
- Treating anorexia.
- Treating chest conditions, bronchitis, and asthma.
- Helping with senile dementia.
