Back pain is a common problem of modern people.
However, low back pain is a symptom, not a diagnostic name for a disease, so there is no specific medicine for low back pain.
If you go for treatment, in most cases, the doctor will prescribe some drugs to promote blood circulation and relieve pain, and encourage exercise, but the drugs are expensive and do not cure the symptoms.
It is better to protect and strengthen the waist through 5 minutes of simple actions every night before going to bed to prevent and relieve low back pain and prevent lumbar disc herniation.
The ancients believed that the waist is the foundation of the human body, and "if you are good at adjusting it, you will be solid and ye rong" (Ming Wu Kun's "Medical Prescription Examination").
The waist is strong, like a tree, with deep roots and lush leaves, which makes people feel refreshed.
If you want to protect your waist and strengthen your waist, let's learn this acupuncture point together!
The acupoint is the gateway and fortress where the yang energy gathers and passes through the waist, so it is called the waist yang pass.
Acupuncture method
Acupuncture points are taken in a standing or sitting position, on the posterior midline, in the depression under the spinous process of the 4th lumbar vertebra (the highest point of the pelvis is felt in the lower part of the lateral part of the body, which is the "iliac spine"; The intersection of the iliac spinous line and the posterior midline is approximately the same as the spinous process of the 4th lumbar vertebrae).
Massage
You can knead the method, clench your hands into fists slightly, press your thumb on the acupuncture points, and knead them a little harder, so as to feel slightly hot.
You can also do hammering, holding an empty fist in your hand, and beating the acupuncture points with the side of your thumb, and the strength is to feel slightly sore.
Each massage can be 2-3 minutes, 2-3 times/day.
Acupuncture
Waist Yang Guan is the acupoint of the Du Mai, which has the function of warming the kidneys and strengthening the waist.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the waist is the house of the kidneys" and "the kidneys are the foundation of innateness". The fullness of yang qi in the waist is closely related to the strength and weakness of kidney qi.
If the kidney yang is insufficient and the kidney qi is deficient, it is easy to have symptoms such as soreness in the waist, unsteady standing, and unfavorable pitching.
Therefore, to warm the waist yang qi, nourish the kidneys and strengthen the waist, press the waist yang guan more before going to bed, and do "health exercises" for the waist!
