Where Medicine Failed, the Points Opened: Acupressure for Parasite Recovery, Lymph, and Bile
modern medicine must find simbiosis and understanding (jazz it out)
The grunge of healing. The real-time reboot. Not polished, but powerful.
When my body was collapsing, it wasn’t another tincture that brought relief. It was pressure. Thumb to skin. Ancient maps lit up. The gallbladder. The liver toe. The spleen gateway. In the middle of the night, when the cleanse hit hard and the nerves were burning, these points didn’t cure me — but they held me.
So this post is a tribute. To those forgotten tools. To the interlinked grid of meridians and detox. To the way bile doesn’t move unless the whole system supports the signal. And how lymph won’t drain if there’s no pump.
This isn’t a deep-dive textbook. This is a shortlist of lifesaving spots — pressure points that made a brutal protocol survivable.
🔹 LV3 — Liver 3 (Tai Chong)
- Location: On the top of the foot, in the depression between the big toe and second toe.
- Use: Press and circle with firm thumb pressure.
- Support: Moves stagnant liver qi, opens detox pathways, calms nervous system in herx states.
- Visual link: YinYangHouse – LV3
🔹 GB34 — Gallbladder 34 (Yang Ling Quan)
- Location: Just below the outside of the knee, in a tender hollow.
- Use: Strong knuckle press, slow breath.
- Support: Primary point for bile flow, tendon healing, gallbladder-related migraines.
- Visual: GB34 Point – YinYangHouse
🔹 SP6 — Spleen 6 (San Yin Jiao)
- Location: About four fingers above the inner ankle bone.
- Use: Gentle circles, especially before bed.
- Support: Opens the lymph-spleen-blood triad. Calms anxiety. Major hormone point.
- Visual: SP6 Point – YinYangHouse
🔹 KD27 — Kidney 27 (Shu Mansion)
- Location: Under the clavicle, one inch from centerline.
- Use: Tap or massage.
- Support: Opens chest for breathing, vagus reset, reboots adrenal fatigue.
- Visual: K27 Point – YinYangHouse
🔹 ST36 — Stomach 36 (Zu San Li)
- Location: Four fingers below kneecap, just outside shinbone.
- Use: Daily, with knuckle or acupressure pen.
- Support: Strengthens digestion, immune boost, restores energy in deep depletion.
- Visual: ST36 Point – YinYangHouse
🔹 LI4 — Large Intestine 4 (He Gu)
- Location: In the fleshy web between thumb and index finger.
- Use: Do not use if pregnant. Press and release in pulses.
- Support: Clears toxins through bowel, helps pain and headaches.
- Visual: LI4 Point – YinYangHouse
🔹 PC6 — Pericardium 6 (Nei Guan)
- Location: Inner forearm, three finger widths below wrist crease.
- Use: Light hold or wristband during nausea or vagus nerve flares.
- Support: Nausea, anxiety, palpitations — essential for parasite-herx support.
- Visual: PC6 Point – YinYangHouse
🌀 Closing Reflection: The Power of Integration
In the early days of the UFC, fighters thought their singular discipline was supreme. Karate. Boxing. Wrestling. Until the cage taught them: only integration wins. The champions were hybrids.
Medicine’s the same. Chinese. Allopathic. Herbal. Energy. They aren’t meant to compete — they’re meant to complete. When medicine integrates, it becomes more than the sum of its parts.
These points helped when no lab test could. They didn’t replace strategy — they supported it. And that’s the key. Integration doesn’t dismiss modern science. It just brings back what was forgotten.
Where medicine failed, the points opened.
