Don’t worry if you sweat a lot, there are some antiperspirant points hidden in your body!

When the weather is hot, you will sweat profusely after doing a little exercise. I believe most people have experienced this trouble. Some people may also sweat all the time due to physical reasons. What should we do if we sweat too much? Experts recommend massaging three antiperspirant acupoints.

1. Hegu Point

Located in the depression between the base of the thumb and index finger, it is what we often call the "tiger's mouth".

Massaging the Hegu acupoint is effective in stopping sweaty hands. "Hegu" means that the qi and blood of the large intestine meridian converge here, forming a strong water, moisture and wind field. Modern research shows that massaging the Hegu acupoint can achieve the effect of shrinking sweat glands.

Key points for massage: Use the thumb of one hand to massage the Hegu point on the opposite hand vigorously, with enough force to produce a sore and swollen feeling.

2. Fuliu Point

Located 2 finger widths upward between the inner ankle and Achilles tendon of the calf.

In the word "Fu Liu", "Fu" means repetition and "Liu" means to dissipate quietly, which means that the moisture of the kidney meridian evaporates and moves upward here. The antiperspirant effect of massaging Fu Liu acupoint is that stimulating it can normalize water metabolism. Hegu and Fu Liu acupoints are the "best partners" for antiperspirants.

Massage points: Massage Hegu acupoint heavily, and massage Fuliu acupoint lightly. When sweating too much, massage Hegu acupoint for 2 minutes until you feel obvious soreness, and then massage Fuliu acupoint lightly for 2 minutes.

3. Zusanli

Located 4 finger widths below the outer kneecap, between the fibula and tibia.

Zusanli is a major acupoint that strengthens the body and mind. Massaging it can regulate the body's immunity, enhance disease resistance, regulate the spleen and stomach, replenish the middle and benefit the Qi, promote menstruation, dispel wind and dampness, and strengthen the body and eliminate evil.

Modern medicine believes that massaging Zusanli has a two-way positive regulatory effect on the function of the adrenal cortex system and can improve the body's ability to prevent diseases. Massaging Zusanli is more suitable for patients who are weak all year round and sweat too much.

Key points of massage: Place the thumb on the Zusanli acupoint, press vertically downward first, and massage at the same time until a sour and swollen feeling is produced. Each massage should last for a few seconds, then gradually relax. You can massage 2 to 3 times a day, each time for 5 minutes.
