SELF-SHIATSU: LU-10 (Yu Ji) Fish Border
LU-10 (Yu Ji /Fish Border)
What are the benefits of this point?
This point has been known to reduce chest pain and clear the throat with a cooling effect.
We often forget that asthma has an effect on the throat as well, so this point is a great option to treat the entire respiratory system.
Interestingly, LU-10 is also an excellent acupressure point for snoring problem!
How to locate this point
Hold your hand facing palm up, and then locate the lower meatier part of your thumb, which is connected to your palm.
In this area, you will feel a long bone. The LU – 10 point is located mid-way up that bone. Since this area is more muscled, you can apply firm acupressure to this point to receive its cooling and healing effects!
5 Element Theory
In the Five Element theory, this point may be used to warm deficient or cold Lung qi.
Because it can benefit the throat so well, by clearing Heat, it actually benefits Lung Yin deficiency as well, so can be used for Yin deficiency Heat conditions.
Lung Yin deficiency conditions include mental agitation, tension and anxiety and physical conditions such as difficulty swallowing.
Locally, LU-10 can be used to help alleviate pain in the palm and thumb.
