Where is the diarrhea relief point on the back of the hand?

Under normal circumstances, the diarrhea-relief point on the back of the hand is located between the thumb and index finger, in the depression between the first and second metacarpal bones—this is the Hegu acupoint. A detailed explanation is as follows:

The Hegu point is an acupoint on the Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin, commonly used to treat gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. When symptoms of diarrhea occur, moxibustion or massage of the Hegu point can be applied to stimulate it. Moxibustion involves applying heat stimulation using moxa sticks or a moxibustion box over the acupoint, while massage involves pressing the point with appropriate force and frequency. These stimulations can promote the flow of meridians, regulate organ function, and help alleviate diarrhea symptoms.

However, it should be noted that locating and stimulating the Hegu point is only a supplementary self-care method. For severe diarrhea symptoms, timely medical consultation is recommended, and treatment should be administered under a physician's guidance.
