For most of us, appetite feels like a background feature—always there until it isn’t. Whether you’re a meal planner or a spontaneous snacker, your internal hunger cues usually guide your eating habits. What happens, though, when that system gets thrown off? Loss of appetite can easily occur.
The acupoint, Not Contained (Bu Rong, ST19), sheds light on the energetic aspect of appetite and provides a hands-on method to support your digestive system when it’s struggling to keep rhythm.
Energetics of a Flow Point
Bu Rong was first recorded in “Zhen Jiu Jia Yi Jing” (“A-B Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion”), one of the earliest acupuncture texts, and belongs to the Stomach meridian. The name “Not Contained” can sound odd unless you know how traditional Chinese (TCM) medicine views the stomach.
