Four points often added for IBS self-care: LR3 on the top of the foot between the first and second metatarsal bones, HT7 on the wrist crease, SP6 above the inner ankle, and SP9 below the inner knee. Circle each kindly for about one minute. Skip strong SP6 pressure in pregnancy. Pair with constipation points when stools swing both ways.
Routine
The steps
-
Tai Chong (LR3) · 1 minute each foot
On the top of the foot, in the depression between the first and second metatarsal bones. Circle for one minute each side. LR3 is used when stress tightens the gut (太冲 Tai Chong; not “Zhi Chong”).
-
Shen Men (HT7) · 1–2 minutes
On the palmar wrist crease, radial to the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon. Circle gently for one to two minutes when anxiety sits with bowel swings.
-
San Yin Jiao (SP6) · 1 minute each leg
On the inner lower leg, about four finger-widths above the tip of the medial malleolus, just behind the shin bone. Circle kindly. Avoid strong SP6 pressure in pregnancy unless a physician has advised it.
-
Yin Ling Quan (SP9) · 1 minute each leg
On the inner leg, in the depression below the medial tibial condyle, where the shin meets the knee line. Circle for one minute each side when damp diarrhoea or heaviness is part of the picture.

FAQs
Quick questions
Should I press these during diarrhoea or constipation?
LR3 and HT7 are often used when stress drives either swing. SP6 and SP9 lean toward damp, looser stools. For dry constipation, favour the constipation press sets and moistening food, and let a physician confirm.
Why avoid strong SP6 in pregnancy?
SP6 strongly influences the lower abdomen and pelvic channels. Strong home pressure is usually avoided in pregnancy unless a physician guides it.
