Ever annoyed by a recurrence of itchy skin, which even turns dry and itchier after scratching? Luckily, the frequent pressing and tapping of four acupoints can help you relieve itchiness and improve other skin conditions as well.
4 Critical Anti-Itch Acupoints
Quchi, Jianyu, Xuehai, and Sanyinjiao are acupoints that specifically relieve itchy skin. Hu Naiwen, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physician, said that he has used all four of these acupoints to treat numerous patients who suffered from itchiness all over the body.Twenty to 30 years ago, when Hu’s mother-in-law was overseas and walking on a lawn there, she was bitten by some unknown species of poisonous insect and developed red, extremely itchy spots all over her body. At that time, the family doctor tried several medicines for her, but none of them worked. It so happened that Hu was there to visit her, and seeing what had happened, he recommended she try acupuncture. After acupuncture and moxibustion for about a week, his mother-in-law’s red and itchy skin healed completely.
