    Qichong — Rushing Qi

    In brief

    This point is traditionally recognized for harmonizing the flow of energy in the lower abdomen and supporting overall well-being, particularly in the genital region. It may help promote a sense of greater energetic balance.

    Where to find it

    below the belly button, lateral to the midline (level with CV2).

    How to stimulate it (acupressure)

    Apply gentle to moderate pressure with one or two fingers. You should feel a slight sensation of numbness or heaviness, never sharp pain. Hold the pressure for one to two minutes while breathing calmly. You can repeat this stimulation once or twice a day.
