Four points of warming, tonifying and strengthening

The process of disease is the result of the struggle between healthy qi and evil Qi. External pathogenic factors are the conditions of disease, but from the perspective of health care, deficiency of healthy qi is the fundamental cause of dysfunction and disease. What is Zhengqi?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, healthy qi is the function of resisting evil Qi. In modern terms, Zhengqi includes self-regulation ability, adaptability to environment, disease resistance ability and self-healing ability. "The internal classic" said: "good Qi exists in the internal, evil can not do

However, modern people are affected by many factors (such as improper diet, lack of exercise, and lack of emotion), which leads to the lack of healthy qi and the opportunity for evil Qi. The vital energy is the root of life. The exuberance of vitality and the length of life are all due to the failure of vital energy.

Therefore, it is also said in the internal classic that "when evil is gathered, its Qi will be empty." When the invasion ability of evil Qi exceeds the resistance ability of the existing positive Qi, it will get sick. Health preservation is to nourish the healthy qi of human body, improve self-defense ability, disease resistance ability and self-healing ability after disease. "Synopsis of the Golden Chamber" is the most important feature of treating miscellaneous diseases, which is to support the healthy qi of human body, and the spleen and kidney are the most important part of it.

Because the kidney is innate, the spleen and stomach are acquired. One deficiency of spleen and kidney, one deficiency of healthy qi, one deficiency of evil Qi. Therefore, it is important to nourish the spleen and kidney. However, many experts in traditional Chinese medicine advocate tonifying the spleen and stomach, and believe that the strength of the spleen and stomach is the key to life.

"Jing Yue Quan Shu" said: "earth gas is the source of all things, stomach gas is the king of health preservation, stomach is strong, stomach is weak, stomach is born, no stomach is dead, is to health home must take spleen and stomach as the first By regulating the spleen and stomach, the disease resistance of human can be improved, and the overall state can be adjusted to prevent aging.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, warming and tonifying is no better than moxibustion, which can strengthen people's Yang Qi and benefit people's real Yin. Moxibustion has six major effects: Meridian activating, qi activating, cold dispelling, swelling eliminating and knot dispelling, Yang returning and adversity saving, disease prevention and health care. The ancients said, "acupuncture is not suitable for moxibustion." Moxibustion method: those with deficiency cold can mend, those with depression can disperse, those with disease can cure, and those without disease can keep fit for a long time.

Where can moxibustion warm the spleen and kidney? Dou Cai, a doctor in Song Dynasty, once said: "when people are free from disease, they moxibustion Guanyuan point, Mingmen point, Qihai point and Zhongwan point for a long time Even if you don't have a long life, you can still live for a hundred years. " These four acupoints are important points for warming spleen and kidney, nourishing qi and prolonging life.

Guanyuan point(located in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 3 inches below the umbilicus) it is the checkpoint for the entrance and exit of vital energy;

Qi Hai point(located in the lower abdomen, on the anterior midline, 1.5 inches below the umbilicus) it is the sea of Yang in Yin and vitality;

Zhong Wan point(in the upper abdomen, on the anterior midline, 4 inches above the umbilicus) can nourish the spleen and stomach;

Life gateAs the name suggests, it is the door of human life, with the function of warm and promoting the Yang Qi of the five zang organs and six Fu organs.

Moxibustion at these four points for 10-20 minutes every day is suitable for reddening skin, strengthening Yuanyang, regulating spleen and stomach, and enhancing disease resistance. Usually busy people can also massage these points.

Zusanli is happy to help others

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine meridian, Zusanli point is the combination point of stomach meridian, that is, the point where the whole body meridians flow and flow together to treat viscera diseases, especially good at treating abdominal diseases. Zusanli point can be described as a versatile one, which has the effect of regulating all diseases, especially the spleen and stomach problems. "Four general acupoint song" has such a pithy formula to say well: "abdomen three li stay." That is to say, all the problems of stomach, stomach, spleen and stomach can be treated with it.

Not only that, Zusanli point is also a big point for longevity. If Zusanli point is often stimulated, it has the effect of disease prevention, fitness and anti-aging. Modern people usually have a lot of social activities, irregular diet, rich nightlife, and work pressure. Therefore, gastrointestinal problems are most likely to occur, such as stomach pain and bloating. The best way to solve these problems is to stimulate Zusanli point.

When massaging, use thumb or middle finger to press in the three points of foot for 5-10 minutes each time. It is better to have acid swelling and fever. Many working clan leaders sit for a long time, unavoidably feeling lack of limb acid. They can knock Zusanli point at rest, and then massage Yongquan point. Every time 5-10 minutes, I feel tired, and walk lightly.

Generally speaking, the general digestive system diseases can be treated from Zusanli point. In addition, high blood pressure, diabetes, headache, dizziness and lack of postpartum milk can also be relieved by pressing this point every day.

Diarrhea conquers the stars

Some people take antidiarrheal drugs as soon as they have diarrhea. However, many intestinal infectious diseases often have diarrhea in different degrees at the early stage of onset. Excreta can discharge pathogenic bacteria and toxins produced in the body and harmful substances entering the gastrointestinal tract out of the body, so as to reduce the toxicity to the human body.

At this time, if the antidiarrheal agent is used, it will undoubtedly be a closed door drug, which will hide the real cause of disease and delay the treatment. At this time, acupuncture points reflect the advantages. Although diarrhea is located in the intestine, the five viscera and six Fu organs are related to each other. Once there is a problem in one of them, it will affect the intestine and lead to the dysfunction of the conduction function of the large intestine and the secretion function of the small intestine.

If diarrhea occurs due to unclean diet or cold feeling, it can be relieved by simple acupoint therapy. Among them, Tianshu cave is a representative. Tianshu point is a place to rise clear and fall turbid. That is to say, the nutrients you absorb into the stomach and intestines start to distinguish and secrete turbidity here. The nutrient essence is absorbed, and the dross is discharged. It can be said that it is a transit station.

Tianshu point is 2 inches beside the navel. It is the key point of stomach meridian and the raised point of large intestine meridian. It is the place where Yang Ming pulse Qi originates. It has the effect of strengthening the spleen and stomach and regulating the bowels. It can treat many diseases, such as stomachache, diarrhea, constipation, dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting, irregular menstruation, etc.

Generally speaking, the method of rubbing constipation is to rub the area around the acupoint with the palm of the hand and rub it clockwise to help the intestine peristalsis; you can also press Tianshu acupoint with two thumbs, especially Tianshu acupoint on the left side, so as to promote defecation. Diarrhea belongs to cold nature and can be treated by moxibustion. When moxibustion, lie on the bed, moxibustion at both Tianshu points for 20 minutes, and then moxibustion at Shenque point (i.e. navel) for a few minutes.

In addition to Tianshu point, it can also moxibustion Guanyuan point and Qihai point, both of which have the effect of cultivating the root and strengthening the root, and also have the effect of relieving diarrhea. When diarrhea, we can also cut ginger into thin slices and apply them on acupoints, and then moxibustion can be carried out on them, and allergic colitis can also be treated.
