Tianshu 天樞 (Tiān Shū), Stomach 25. “Heaven’s Pivot.”

How to find it: three fingers’ width out to either side of your belly button.

What it’s known for: traditionally used to regulate digestion and the intestines, and to clear dampness.

The weight connection: in TCM, sluggish digestion lets dampness build up, which is traditionally linked to softer, heavier weight around the middle. Tianshu is a classic point for keeping the middle moving, though no single point does the heavy lifting on its own.

Proof that meridians exist?

In Chinese medicine, meridians are traditionally understood as pathways for Qi. Modern research is now looking at what might sit underneath them.

Here’s my honest take on what this does, and doesn’t, tell us.

Fruit is healthy. So more must be healthier, right? Chinese medicine would like a quiet word.

In TCM, too much cold, raw fruit is traditionally understood to weaken digestion and create dampness, that heavy, bloated, foggy feeling so many people simply live with.

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can add is a little less.

Mindfulness is not the absence of thought rather the practice of being an observer of your thoughts without judgement, the thoughts aren’t a reality until you attach yourself to it 🧘🏻

One needle. Two points. 一针两穴

Tou Xue 透穴, or threading acupuncture: the needle enters at one acupoint and is guided through to a second.

Why use it? In classical Chinese medicine, threading lets one needle reach two points, meaning fewer insertions. It’s also used to link paired yin and yang channels, and to spread the needle sensation along the whole path between the points rather than at a single spot.

First recorded in the Yuan dynasty and still used selectively today, as part of treatment tailored to the person.

Stress sitting in your chest? Meet PC 6, Neiguan (内关), the “Inner Gate”.

In Chinese medicine, this point is traditionally used to open the chest and settle the mind.

Find it: three fingers up from your inner wrist crease, between the two tendons. Press gently, breathe slowly, hold 1 to 2 minutes each side.

Not a cure, just a simple tool for when stress or anxious feelings tighten your chest.

New or severe chest pain or tightness? Seek urgent medical care. For ongoing concerns, consult your local doctor.
