FAQs
Quick questions
Where is Shao Chong (HT9)?
At the base of the little fingernail on the radial side. Massage with the opposite thumb for 30–60 seconds until a slight soreness.
Why press HT9 for heaty CNY foods?
In this festive tip set, Shao Chong joins Tai Chong and He Gu when heaty snacks leave sore throat, constipation, yellow urine, or a craving for cold drinks. Home press is a short habit, not a diagnosis.
How long should I press, and should it hurt?
About 30 seconds to one minute per side. A dull soreness is the cue; sharp pain means ease off.
