Can pressing the Yīnlíngquán point (SP9) cure diseases?

　　In general, pressing the Yinlingquan point can, to some extent, assist in treating certain diseases. However, the specific effects vary from person to person and cannot replace professional medical treatments. Detailed analysis is as follows:

　　The Yinlingquan point is a meeting point of the spleen meridian of foot taiyin. Pressing and kneading this point can, to some extent, assist in treating various diseases. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, stimulating Yinlingquan can help strengthen the spleen and resolve dampness, as well as regulate the triple energizer, alleviating symptoms such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, edema, and other digestive system disorders caused by spleen deficiency with excessive dampness. It can also relieve symptoms such as knee joint pain and lower limb edema caused by dampness obstructing the meridians. Additionally, appropriate stimulation of this point can regulate the flow of qi and blood in the meridians, improve local blood circulation, and enhance the body's metabolic functions.

　　However, due to differences in individual constitutions, severity of illness, causes, and other factors, the actual effectiveness of pressing the Yinlingquan point may vary. Therefore, this should only be considered as a complementary method for regulation and cannot replace professional medical diagnosis and treatment. If experiencing physical discomfort, timely medical consultation is still necessary to undergo systematic and standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance. Do not solely rely on acupressure massage and risk delaying proper treatment.
