- Internal organ diseases can be detected through the five fingers
The finger inspection method can understand the health condition of the internal organs. Use the fingers to grasp the root of the nail of the other hand, apply strong pressure and rotate. Grasp them in the order from the little finger to the thumb and see if there is any particularly painful finger.
In fact, there are acupoints on the tips of a person’s five fingers, and each is closely related to the internal organs. If a certain finger feels painful, it means that there is some kind of disorder or abnormal phenomenon in the internal organ related to its acupoint.
For those with a painful little finger, it indicates that there are diseases in the heart and small intestine. On the side of the little finger tip adjacent to the ring finger is the “Shaochong point”, which is closely related to the heart. When a heart attack occurs, you can press the tip of the little finger nail forcefully to suppress the attack. On the opposite side is the “Shaoze point”, which is closely related to the small intestine. When the intestines are uncomfortable, you can press this acupoint strongly.
For those with a painful ring finger, there must be a phenomenon of a sore throat or headache. Since there is the “Guanchong point” of the Sanjiao Meridian on the ring finger, you can rub this point when you have a cold or fever. There is a “Zhongchong point” of the Pericardium Meridian on the middle finger. When you have heatstroke or heart failure, the middle finger will feel painful.
There is the “Shangyang point” of the Large Intestine Meridian on the index finger. If pressing this finger is painful when there is constipation, it can be determined that there is an abnormal phenomenon in a certain part of the large intestine.
There is a “Shaoshang point” on the thumb. People with lung diseases will feel unbearable pain when pressing this part.
You might as well try the finger inspection method now. If you feel a little pain, it means that there is a sign of weakness in the part indicated by the finger meridian acupoint. At this time, you should endure the pain of rubbing and keep rubbing until the disease recovers.
Not only the fingers of both hands, but also the toes of both feet can be inspected in the same way. If you develop the habit of rubbing the fingertips, it can make the blood circulation good and strengthen the internal organs, especially the heart function.
- Rubbing the area above the heart can stop vomiting

In fact, the meridian acupoints that can suppress nausea are in the area from the region above the heart to the abdomen, including the Shangwan point, Zhongwan point, and Xiawan point.
When you feel unwell, carsick, or drunk, use the fingertips to vigorously rub up and down in the area above the heart. After about two or three minutes, the nausea will naturally stop, and it can also eliminate the pain or discomfort in the stomach.
This method is simple and can be carried out at any time. It is best to keep it in mind.
