Acupuncture and immunity – ST36
One of the most used points in acupuncture is ST36. The Chinese name for this point is Zusanli, which literally means “three distances on the leg.” The name certainly derives from its location, that is, three cun (acupuncture unit of measurement) from the knee joint line, one finger width lateral to the tibial crest. However, the name also has a symbolic meaning, as this point has an important tonic effect on the body’s energy and, if stimulated, Chinese medical tradition claims that it can provide the legs with energy to walk three further distances (miles). in this case.
There are ancient Chinese and Japanese references that describe army marches, in which it is said that every three miles (about 5 km) the soldiers took a break to rest and eat, taking advantage of the rest to also self-treat ST36 to relieve fatigue in the legs. .
It is said that ancient Chinese doctors, when called to serve in areas affected by major epidemics, performed a small caustic treatment at this point, so that it would be continually stimulated.
Obviously these are purely historical curiosities, this does not mean that ST36, in addition to its beneficial effects on all abdominal disorders, also has important effects when it comes to toning our body’s defenses. #shiatsu #mtc #psychophysical well-being
“To be is to be perceived” (Berkeley)
The hands, in Shiatsu, are not only a tool to apply pressure for therapeutic purposes, but a symbol of relationship and understanding that can technically be varied by using, for example, the thumb instead of the palm.
Shiatsu is presented as a means to compensate for the enormous emotional deficiencies inherent in traditional Japanese culture, with the specific desire to communicate deeply with others, without words and beyond. For the Shiatsu strategy to be expressed better, it needs to be two, using the relationship as an energetic catalyst for the therapeutic act.
In Shiatsu, Tori and Uke are united by pressure. The saying, “When you press a point, you press yourself,” highlights how there is no conflictual dualism in the relationship between the Shiatsu operator and the receiver. In practice, the meeting attitude must be maintained intentionally by integrating with the technique.
Shiatsu is dynamic balance.
Shiatsu is a relationship between two poles.
Shiatsu is complementarity of opposites.
Taken from “Shiatsu Strategies” by Mario Vatrini.
