Press Yang Chi (TE4) to warm Yang

Yang Chi (阳池) names a “pool of Yang.” Gentle self-press here is a classic home habit when cold-womb patterns need more Yang warmth.

In brief

Yang Chi (TE4) sits on the back of the wrist in a small depression. Circling pressure for one to two minutes, up to three times a day, is a common educational self-care habit for warming Yang, not a fertility treatment.

    Rest the hand palm-down. Use the thumb of your other hand to feel the depression on the back of the wrist between the ring- and little-finger tendons.

  2. Circle and breathe

    Press in small circles for one to two minutes while you take slow breaths. Mild ache that eases when you release is common.

  3. Repeat gently

    Many people repeat up to three times a day. Stop if pain sharpens or the wrist feels numb.

FAQs

Quick questions

How hard should I press?

Firm enough to notice, soft enough to keep breathing. If you brace or hold your breath, ease off.

Will TE4 warm my womb on its own?

No. It is one supportive habit. Persistent cold patterns still warrant clinical assessment.
