In Chinese medicine it is an extremely important point. It is called San Yin Jiao, sometimes also referred to by the abbreviation SP6. This almost magical point is located on the inner side of the calf on both legs. Massaging it brings a range of health benefits to the body.
It is used by both men and women, but it is particularly beneficial for the gentler sex, as they are more prone to stress, chronic fatigue and lack of sleep.
By massaging the SP6 point, women can even improve their appearance and resolve many health issues, which we will discuss in more detail in this article.
Before we move on to describing the individual health effects, it is first necessary to define the exact location of the San Yin Jiao point. To locate the point, place four fingers above the inner ankle protrusion as shown in the introductory image. There should be a small depression under the bone there.
And right at that spot under the shin (the weight-bearing bone of the lower limb), our sought-after SP6 point is located, which we will massage.
The massage should be repeated every day. It can be done at any time of day or night, but the best time is in the evening and it should last at least 10 minutes.
Now let’s take a closer look at the health benefits that massaging the mentioned point will bring you.
Digestive system stability
Massaging the San Yin Jiao point can eliminate bloating and resolve many other health issues with your digestive system.
Stimulation of the ovaries and uterus
Massaging this point is especially important for women trying to conceive, because it stimulates the activity of the ovaries and uterus.
Regular menstrual cycle
