In the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture points are like gateways that regulate the flow of Qi or energy. Among these points, GB 20 or Wind Pool has a special significance because of its ability to alleviate health concerns and balance energy. You can explore the benefits of the GB 20 acupuncture point at Acubody.
The location and importance of GB 20
GB 20 is located at the base of the skull, within the sub occipital muscles. It is found in the hollows on either side of the neck. This acupuncture point is considered important for regulating Qi flow and dispersing wind.
In TCM theory, wind is usually associated with external pathogens that invade the body to disrupt its natural balance. Acupuncturists stimulate GB 20 to release tension and disperse wind in the shoulders and neck. In doing so, relaxation is promoted, and symptoms like dizziness, stiffness and headaches are relieved.
Energy balance
GB 20 is known for its ability to alleviate symptoms of imbalance and harmonize the energy of the body. In the realm of TCM, it is believed that the neck is the point where the yang channels of the upper body meet. Hence, GB 20 makes for a powerful site for promoting equilibrium and regulating Qi circulation.
