Zusanli (S36) for a good health and a long life

   It has been customary since the old days in
Japan to burn moxa on "ZUsanli" (S36), wishing
for a good health and a long life.
Aged people and people in some districts
continue the custom and this "Tubo" is often
used in order to keep a good health.
Specialists also regard the point vital to the
treatment of various diseases.
   There is a famous old tale about a farmer
called Manbei who lived for 242 years.
It is said that he used to have burned moxa on
"Zusanli" every day as the secret of good health and long life.
The "Tubo" is valued not only in moxibustion but also in various
pressure treatments.
