Jiquan acupoint is a very important acupoint on the pericardium meridian. If a person is often depressed, a lump will grow under their armpit, on the Jiquan acupoint, which is a phenomenon of stagnation of the heart qi. If the Jiquan acupoint is removed, the lump can be dissolved, which can alleviate the disease of stagnation in the heart meridian. Sometimes you may find that a sudden movement or event from someone else can make your heart beat faster, and you may feel chest flying, dizziness, headache, sweating, weakness, and even a lack of appetite. This situation is called palpitations, which is a manifestation of excessive fatigue and emotional instability. At this point, simply tapping the Jiquan acupoint under the armpit can relax the heart.
