As you continue to relax, bring your awareness to the acupuncture points that can assist in alleviating insect allergy swelling, redness, and itching.

Locate LI11, known as Quchi, situated at the outer part of your elbow joint. This point helps to clear heat and reduce inflammation, working to soothe the skin and alleviate discomfort.

Next, find SP10, or Xuehai, located on the inner thigh, about two fingerbreadths above the kneecap. This point invigorates blood flow, promoting healing and supporting the body in reducing swelling.

Move your attention to BL40, known as Weizhong, found at the back of your knee, in the center of the crease. This point is effective in reducing swelling and helps to release tension in the body.

Finally, locate ST36, or Zusanli, situated about four fingerbreadths below the kneecap, one fingerbreadth to the outside of the shinbone. This powerful point boosts vitality, energizing the body and enhancing overall well-being.

As you visualize these points, imagine their energy flowing and harmonizing your body, addressing the imbalance caused by insect bites. Allow the warmth and healing energy from these points to spread throughout your body, soothing any discomfort and promoting a sense of calm.

Feel the connection between these points and the organs they influence. LI11 clears heat affecting the skin, SP10 invigorates blood, BL40 reduces swelling in the limbs, and ST36 strengthens your core vitality.

Breathe deeply, allowing each inhale to draw in healing energy, and each exhale to release tension and discomfort. Trust in this natural process as you envision your body returning to a state of balance and normalcy.

Continue to focus on this calming energy, letting it flow through you, restoring harmony and well-being. Embrace this healing meditation, allowing it to guide you toward relief and tranquility.
