Let's take a brief look at Houxi Cave first. Houxi Cave is the infusion point of the Hand Sun Small Intestinal Meridian, which comes from the Chinese medicine classic "Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Ben Lose", which can be said to be a fairly ancient acupuncture point. The name of this cave actually means its function. The back of the stream refers to the meridian qi of the acupuncture point can reach the veins of the back of the human body, while the stream means trickling water, which plays a role in slowly moisturizing the back of the human body, so it is not surprising that this acupoint can treat low back pain.

Note in the back stream, the back stream, after the outside of the hand this section also, for the loss. The modern textbook "Acupuncture" records: "The Houxi point is on the inside of the hand, in the red-white flesh depression proximal to the ulnar side of the 5th metacarpophalangeal joint."

"Blocking the River Fu" also recorded: "Houxi specializes in treating the superintendent's pulse disease, and the treatment of madness is still light."

In addition, Chinese medicine believes that Houxi Acupoint is one of the eight veins meeting point, and its qi flows through the Du Vein, which follows the middle of the waist and back. Therefore, stimulating the Houxi point can make the human back have sufficient qi, thereby relieving low back pain.
