The human body has 20 meridians, of which 19 meridians run vertically, and only one runs horizontally, which is the "belt vein". It is also known as the "belt of longevity", and if you take care of it, you can avoid many diseases and have a good effect on your overall health.
Belt vein, the "longevity belt" of the human body
The belt pulse point is one of the acupuncture points of the human body, which is passed by the belt vein.
Positioning: The pulse point is located on the flank, 1.8 inches below the chapter door, at the intersection of the vertical line and the umbilicus level line below the free end of the 11th rib, and there is a feeling of soreness when pressed. The veins on both sides of the abdomen are connected, and the abdomen is circumferential, which is where the veins are. To put it simply, it is where we usually wear pants and belts.
Usually, there are conditions such as stagnation and qi stagnation, blood stasis and blockage, which can be adjusted and dredged through moxibustion. Knocking on the pulse also has the effect of weight loss and laxative. In general, the belt pulse has the function of "total bundle of pulses", which controls the health of the whole body, so it is known as a "longevity belt" that comes with the human body.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that as the only transverse meridian, the belt vein has a control and regulation effect on other meridians.
regulation: menstrual irregularity, red and white belt with
pulse down is the location of women's uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and other organs, so the belt pulse is closely related to gynecological diseases. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, gynecological diseases are called "belt disease", which is named because of the pulse. You can use your hands to gently beat the belt pulse to speed up the flow of qi and blood in the meridians, which is helpful for people with menstrual cramps, cold waist and often soreness.
2. Gastrointestinal "adjustment switch"
treatment: constipation, abdominal pain, hernia
with the position of the pulse is very close to the stomach and intestines, when the pulse is blocked, the intestinal peristalsis will also become slow, which is easy to cause constipation. In addition to the effect of dredging the blood veins, knocking on the pulse can also enhance intestinal peristalsis and have a good dredging effect on constipation.
3. The "dredging agent" of the gallbladder meridian
is closely related
: bitter mouth, insomnia, loss of appetite, dark face
and veins are closely related to the liver, gallbladder, spleen, stomach and kidneys. When the belt pulse is blocked, the liver and gallbladder are lost in drainage, the spleen and stomach are out of balance, and the kidney essence can not be nourished. The belt pulse acupoint belongs to the Zushaoyang gallbladder meridian, and if you massage it here often, the blocked acupuncture points on the gallbladder meridian will gradually be dredged and opened, and the condition will be improved.
treatment: obesity, especially waist and abdominal obesity
,
traditional Chinese medicine believes that the increase in abdominal fat is often caused by the blockage of the veins. If you have a "swimming ring" in your waist and abdomen, take a little time to tap the belt pulse every day to promote fat metabolism and reduce fat production.
to dredge the pulse
1, pay attention to the abdomen to keep warm
A cold in the abdomen can easily lead to cold condensation and qi stagnation, which will affect the gallbladder meridians, kidney meridians, and spleen meridians that pass through here. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm in winter, and even if you turn on the air conditioner to sleep in summer, you must protect your abdomen with a thin quilt.
Moxibustion is very simple, that is, moxibustion is made of moxa leaves at the pulse for 10~20 minutes, with the help of pharmacological stimulation, to play the role of blood circulation and ventilation.
. In order to prevent the blockage of the belt pulse, you can lie flat on the bed before going to bed every night, and "push" the belt pulse along the belt pulse from the Zhangmen acupoint with four fingers together to the inside of the abdomen. Then hold an empty fist in your hand and "beat" it back and forth on the belt vein about 100~300 times, with moderate strength.
Zhangmen acupoint: located in the flank, at the lower margin of the free end of the eleventh rib. In the supine or lateral position, on the midline of the axillary, when the elbow is flexed together, the point is the point where the tip of the elbow ends.
4. Use a scraping board or comb to
, and often scrape several key acupuncture points located on the belt vein, such as Zhangmen acupoint, Wushu acupoint, Weidao acupoint, etc., which can clear the liver and gallbladder and reduce the accumulation of abdominal fat while dredging the belt vein.
5. Eat more of two types of food
Coarse
Under the premise of a certain intake of staple foods, eating 85 grams of whole grain foods a day can reduce the risk of constipation and chronic diseases, help control weight, regulate the spleen and kidneys, and strengthen the pulse.
Iron-containing foods
Appropriate intake of iron-rich vegetables and fruits such as angelica, red dates, spinach, cherries, grapes, etc., can be used to fill the pulse with qi and blood.
In addition, if the belt pulse is too loose or too tight, it is not possible
to block it, and the belt pulse is also said to be "tight". However, whether the veins are too loose or too tight, they can cause damage to the body.
can cause muscle atrophy, malnutrition, muscle weakness, hyperthyroidism, systemic joint fistula and other symptoms, which have a great impact on the health of middle-aged and elderly people.
Adjustment method: The belt pulse point is located on the flank, 1.8 inches below the Zhangmen point. By plucking the belt pulse point, you can tighten the belt pulse. It is recommended to use your thumb to pluck near the belt point for about two minutes.
can easily lead to fatigue syndrome, stomach pain, anxiety, dysmenorrhea, high blood pressure, spasmodic torticollis and other conditions, and in severe cases, it may even induce Parkinson's.
Adjustment method: By pinching the belt pulse, the belt pulse can be loosened. The specific technique is to use the middle finger, index finger and thumb to pinch the muscles with the pulse points, lift them upward, and repeat 4 or 5 times. Doing so can relieve fatigue, relieve liver depression, and regulate blood pressure.
