Where can I massage to increase estrogen?
Recently, I have noticed that my estrogen levels don't seem particularly prominent. I heard that massage may help increase estrogen—could you please advise which areas to massage for this purpose?

Massaging acupoints cannot directly increase estrogen levels, but it can serve as an adjunctive therapy to help regulate the endocrine system. The following are some acupoints that can be massaged:
1. Sanyinjiao (SP6): Located on the inner side of the lower leg, three cun above the tip of the inner ankle. It benefits the spleen and blood, and helps nourish the liver and kidneys, thereby assisting in the improvement of menstrual irregularities.
2. Guanyuan (CV4): Located on the lower abdomen, three cun below the navel. Massaging this point warms and fortifies kidney yang, promotes blood circulation, and has a positive effect on regulating the female endocrine system.
3. Xuehai (SP10): Located on the inner side of the thigh, two cun above the medial end of the patellar base. It promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, regulates menstruation, and relieves pain, thus serving as an adjunctive treatment for menstrual irregularities and dysmenorrhea.
4. Qihai (CV6): Located on the lower abdomen, 1.5 cun below the navel. This point regulates qi and blood, strengthens the body's constitution, and may help increase estrogen levels.
5. Taixi (KI3): Located in the depression between the tip of the inner ankle and the Achilles tendon. This point nourishes yin and reduces internal heat, offering beneficial effects in regulating the female endocrine system.
Although massaging these acupoints cannot directly increase estrogen levels, it can help regulate bodily functions and may assist in alleviating symptoms caused by low estrogen levels. When massaging these points, appropriate techniques and pressure should be used to avoid excessive stimulation. Additionally, if serious endocrine disorders or other health issues exist, consulting a physician is recommended rather than relying solely on acupoint massage.
