CHENG JIANG (THỪA TƯƠNG) ACUPOINT AND PEMF TECHNOLOGY: THE MECHANISM OF REGULATING QI AND BLOOD AND RELIEVING THE MUSCLES OF THE LOWER-FACE REGION

Tension and aching in the jaw region, poor flexibility of the muscles around the mouth, or motor disorders of the lower face are often the result of nervous fatigue or accumulated mechanical pressure. In wellness science, relieving the stiffness of the facial muscle groups and opening the energy nodal points is a core factor in maintaining the balance and deep relaxation of the dental arch. The Cheng Jiang acupoint is a strategic coordinate that helps re-establish the motor balance of the lower face from the root.

1. Anatomical analysis and location of the Cheng Jiang acupoint

The Cheng Jiang acupoint (CV24) is an important acupoint on the Conception (Ren) vessel axis, closely related to the peripheral nervous system of the lower head and face.

• Anatomical location: The acupoint lies in the center of the lower face, at the deepest point of the mentolabial groove, on the central vertical axis of the face.

• Structural characteristics: This area concentrates branches of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), the sensory nerve branches of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V) and the blood-vessel system supplying the lower lip and chin.

• Mechanism of action: According to traditional medicine, Cheng Jiang has the effect of regulating qi, clearing heat and opening the meridian system of the lower face. When stimulated correctly, the acupoint supports relaxation of the orbicularis oris and the depressor anguli oris muscle, relieving the stiffness around the lower jaw and helping to regulate the secretory activity of the oral cavity.

2. Positive effects on the motor health of the facial region

Caring for the Cheng Jiang acupoint brings comprehensive supportive solutions for the muscular and nervous system of the lower face:

• Supporting relaxation of the jaw muscles: Soothes the sensation of tightness and spasm of the muscles around the mouth and chin caused by the habit of teeth grinding or work pressure.

• Supporting improved facial muscle flexibility: Stimulates the flow of qi and blood, supporting the restoration of the natural balance of the muscles around the mouth and reducing the tendency toward stagnation of the lower facial muscle groups.

• Regulating the autonomic nervous system of the mouth: Supports the control and adjustment of salivary gland activity, reducing involuntary secretory disorders caused by the decline of local nerve conduction.

3. Applying PEMF technology in deep-layer functional recovery

The muscle region around the lips and chin has a dense network of nerves but a thin, soft tissue layer, very sensitive to crude mechanical forces. At Arctozen, the Zener specialists apply Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology to optimize acupoint activation without applying strong physical pressure to the skin surface:

• Enhancing microcirculation of the lower-face region: Low-frequency PEMF waves generate electromagnetic pulses that penetrate deep through the tissue layers, compatible with the body's biological frequencies. This process helps dilate the peripheral capillaries, ensuring oxygen and nutrients are continuously transported to the stiffened muscle bundles.

• Optimizing cellular energy: The electromagnetic pulses interact directly at the cellular level, promoting the recharging of the mitochondria, stimulating the self-balancing mechanism and relieving the stagnation of the peripheral nerve fibers.

• A non-invasive relaxation experience: The combination of PEMF magnetic-field energy and the Zener's refined positioning technique creates a multi-layered recovery mechanism, helping the entire chin and masticatory muscle area to relax deeply and at ease.

4. The professional care protocol by Zener

Each protocol for restoring the function of the lower-face region at Arctozen is meticulously designed by the Zener team to ensure precision and safety:

1. Anthropometric survey: The Zener examines the dental-arch structure and precisely locates the depression of the mentolabial groove to locate the Cheng Jiang acupoint according to each individual's physical condition.

2. Activating the energy nodal point: The Zener uses a penetrating acupressure technique with a gentle, refined touch to release the local muscle spasm and reach a stable state of deqi.

3. PEMF magnetic-field resonance: The PEMF device is set to a suitable frequency band, gently acting on the acupoint area to accelerate the relaxation of the lower-face nervous system.

5. Indications and safety notes

• Indications: People who frequently suffer from jaw muscle stiffness due to pressure, people experiencing fatigue of the lower facial muscles, or those who wish to maintain the flexibility and balance of the muscle groups around the mouth.

• Contraindications: To ensure the utmost safety, PEMF therapy is not applied to pregnant women, people with open skin lesions or acute inflammation of the mouth-and-chin region, and clients using implanted electronic support devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators.
