My husband is on Fire! He’s passionate, excited and always so happy. He’s really the TCM Heart personality. But he’s also easily bored and distracted. If he’s stressed, his sleep and blood pressure are affected. So I make sure he gets regular acupuncture treatments and massages, and eats a healthy diet.

You’ll find everything you wanted to know about the TCM Heart, right below.
Enjoy 🙂

And keep rocking it using TCM!

9- The most commonly used Heart Acupuncture Point

HT 6 is the Xi-Cleft point of the heart, so it’s a great acupuncture point for cardiac pain (chest pain), but also it nourishes HT Yin for night sweats, and calms the mind for hysteria. It can be used for nosebleed or coughing blood as it clears Fire.

HT 7 – Shen Men, the gate of the mind! Awesome acupuncture point to calm the mind, improve memory, and clear heat especially from the heart.

10- The emotion of the Heart in TCM: Joy & Laughter

Too much excitement or uncontrolled laughter can create imbalances in the TCM heart.
