      Weidao point is located on both sides of the human body's abdomen, so what are the functions and effects of massaging Weidao point?

      The function of massaging Weidao acupoints

      Name explanation: 1) Wei Dao. Wei, the big rope that ties things together or the meaning of maintenance. Tao, road. The name Wei Dao means that the Qi and blood carrying pulses continue to run along the route of the gallbladder meridian here. The substance of this point is the terrestrial meridian water coming from the Wushu point. The gallbladder meridian qi and blood actually travel through the three points of Jingmen, Wushu, and Weidao through the veins. After reaching this point, it meets the Juliao point of the gallbladder meridian. If this point has a coherent role in maintaining the continuous flow of gallbladder meridian qi and blood, it is named Weidao.
