Did you know:

A ring magnet placed at the Hegu point on the hand stimulates the immune system and is

natural prevention against flu?

This point is found between the first and second metacarpal bones (the bones of the thumb and first finger). It lies at the highest point formed when the thumb is brought to rest against the index finger.

The Hegu point is on the traditional large intestine meridian and combines with the 6 Ki energy of Dryness. Dryness links with autumn which is when damp, cold weather arrives and with it flu. Stimulating the Hegu point with a magnet or simply massaging the point with the thumb of the opposite hand will help to prevent flu which is contributed to the large intestine meridian's association with the immune system.
