Did you know that there is a "quit smoking point" in the human body?

Many smokers find it difficult to accept the adverse reactions during the period of quitting smoking. Recently, a report about the "quit smoking point" has been circulated on the Internet, claiming that you can easily quit smoking by massaging the "quit smoking point" every day. What is going on?

What is a "quit smoking cave"?

In the 1980s, an American acupuncturist discovered that the human body has a "quit smoking point", also known as the sweet point, which means that only after quitting smoking can one truly have a sweet feeling.

The "Quit Smoking Point" can regulate lung function. Acupuncture or finger pinching the "Quit Smoking Point" can help quit smoking. When stimulating this point, the quitter will feel thirsty, bitter in the mouth, dizzy, and feel sick of cigarettes.

Where is the "Quit Smoking Cave"?

The "Quit Smoking Point" is located between the Lieque Point and the Yangxi Point, at a soft spot about one thumb's length away from the edge of the radial process. When touched, there is a concave point that is obviously painful. Because it is located between the lung meridian and the Yangming large intestine meridian, it has the function of clearing the lungs and detoxifying, and can relieve symptoms such as throat discomfort and coughing and sputum. Friends who smoke often massage this point, which will also play a role in lung health.

After acupuncture or finger pressure on the "quit smoking point", the patient will have a bad taste in the mouth, which is even worse when smoking. After repeated repetition, a conditioned reflex of "smoke-bad taste-disgust" will be formed. This unpleasant psychological experience will make the smoker refuse to smoke, thus achieving the purpose of quitting smoking.
