Similar to the change on the tongue, minor and early illness can be found when we press
some part of our body, even if we actually cannot feel anything wrong. That a pain point
on body surface can be used to predict health problems inside the body is easy to be
understood by Traditional Chinese medicine. This is because the inside organ has its
own representative meridian on the surface. For example, stomach has stomach
meridian and liver has liver meridian. The organ connects to its meridian functionally,
though hardly to be seen under microscope structurally. Also, health problem in one part
of body surface can be predicted by pain point on the other end of the body. This is
because the meridian goes either from chest to hands, from hands to head, from head to
feet, or from feet to the stomach area again. For example, headache can find a point on
the foot. This is very useful tip for an acupuncturist to make diagnosis and to decide a
treatment plan. Actually everyone should know this secret to find trouble in the body and
to solve the trouble by himself.
Here we introduce some of the most important acupuncture points. If you press it and
feel very pain on pressing it, it means that there is something wrong in your body.
Depending on which point it is, the prediction meaning is also different. Some points
suggest pain or problem in stomach; others may predict something wrong in liver.
Another important concept is that, the pain point does not only predict the structure
problem in the body, but also emotional trouble too. This is because the fact that each
meridian is associated to various kind of emotion too. For example, if the heart has
trouble, one may have a feeling of over irritable to laugh; if the liver has trouble, one may
feel easy to get upset; if the spleen is in trouble, one may feel worry; if the kidney is in
trouble, one may feel sad; and if the lung is in trouble, one tends to crying.
1. Hegu point
He-gu point is located on hand, between the first and the second finger (see Fig. 1). If
you feel much pain when you press this point, there will be several meanings:

release pain on the meridian pathway mentioned above.
Actually this point is responsible for any trouble in the face and mouth.
(3). The name of this meridian in which the Hegu point located is Large intestine.
Therefore, if you have any trouble, constipation or diarrhea, pain or intestine
obstruction, or stomach bloating, etc.
When you press this point to solve or release pain. It is also good for the treatment any
illness in face, heat, eyes, nose, ear, throat, and fever.

(3). You may have some trouble in the sugar and cholesterol metabolism, or is with
overweight. For people with allergic reaction, this point is also pain, since one of the
function of the Spleen system is to monitor the outside stimulation. It works as sensor.
Allergic reaction means that the Spleen as organ or as the meridian is too sensitive, to
transport the signal to the immune defense system to react. This is Chinese medicine
concept.

there are something in the Spleen system (as organ or as meridian).
