  • I know that massage or acupuncture for the perineum is good for childbirth as it prepares it for delivery. And also acupuncture on the perineum itself may be good for a weakened First Chakra and depression.
  • Acupuncture is based upon a system of energy channels called meridians. The perineum is the location of a specific point called Hui Yin (Meeting of Yin), also known as "Ren 1" indicating it is the first point on the Ren meridian. In Oriental Medicine, this point is most commonly used for genital and urinary dysfunction (Damp Heat in the Lower Jiao). However, due to its location, the point is rarely used clinically.
