Between long hours on screens and the natural aging process, our eyes go through a lot. Tiredness, dryness, puffiness, or fine lines like crow’s feet often appear as signs that our eye area needs extra attention.

Instead of relying solely on eye drops or skincare creams, consider incorporating a practical, time-tested addition recommended by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Silk Bamboo Hole (Si Zhu Kong, TE23). This acupoint may help improve eye comfort and the appearance of the skin around them, all without invasive methods or side effects.

From Classical Texts to Practical Use

Si Zhu Kong is a well-documented acupuncture point. It was first mentioned in the “Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot),” a key text within the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic. This foundational work outlines many important theories of acupuncture that are still utilized today, particularly focusing on energy flow and the meridian systems.
