Whether your five organs are good or not, press the navel to know, press early, benefit early!
The navel, known in Chinese medicine as "Shenque" (unpredictable as "Shen", "Que" refers to the important place), is essentially the scar left by the fall off of the umbilical cord after the fetus is born.
The navel is located on the midline of the abdomen at the level of the anterior superior iliac spine. It is the only acupuncture point that can be seen and touched among the 361 acupuncture points in the body, and it is connected to the twelve meridians of the human body and the five internal organs.
From the moment the umbilical cord is cut, we come into this world as individuals. Since then, however, we seem to have paid little attention to the navel. In fact, the role of the belly button is far greater than you think.

Look at the navel and look for your longevity genes
The navel is connected to the twelve meridians of the human body and communicates with the five internal organs, and its particularity is incomparable to any other acupuncture point.
The different shapes of the navel reflect the different degrees of the human body, and it is recorded in the "Diagnosis of Strange Diseases" that "the navel is large and tolerant of plums, and the longevity is also."
It means that the navel is large, round, deep, and full enough to accommodate a plum, which means that you have abundant longevity capital.
Large navel: Kidney qi is sufficient
Round navel: The spleen and stomach are full of qi
Deep navel: The heart is full of energy
If your belly button is banana-shaped, triangular or even other shapes, it reflects that you are born with a lack of capital and a physical condition.
▲ Horizontal and vertical navels are called banana-shaped navels

The health preservation technique of the ancient gods
Ming Dumu's "Du Gong Tan Compilation" records such an anecdote: During the Yongle period, Jin Sheng, a native of Jiaxing, served as the head of the Criminal Department. In one of the thieves, the government caught many robbers.
To King's surprise, the leader of the robbers was a "1825-year-old" birthday boy who did not look old, but "had a face like a child."
Jin Chu didn't believe it, so he sent someone to the prisoner's hometown to investigate and collect evidence, and the result was correct. Jin then personally interrogated the thief and "asked him why he was so long." The prisoner said: When he lived in Jingshan (now Hunan) when he was young, he heard a strange person tell him: He often uses grass to moxibustion his umbilicus, which makes people live longer. So he practiced this technique for a long time, "and then he knew that it was so deaf." ”
Medical experimental research has proved that through stimulation such as fire power points, medicinal ironing, moxibustion, etc., it can help regulate the human nervous system and endocrine activities, especially can significantly improve the immune function of the human body, so as to play a role in correcting and dispelling diseases, and prolonging life.
Shenque acupoint is adjacent to the stomach, hepatobiliary, pancreas, intestines and other organs, and can also treat abdominal pain, diarrhea, acute and chronic stomach pain, gastric prolapse, intractable hiccups, functional dyspepsia, colitis, rectal prolapse and other diseases through the warmth of Shenque.
The "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" says that most chronic diseases of human beings are often the invasion of dampness, cold and evil qi, which cannot be excluded from the body, resulting in insufficient yang qi and imbalance of the five organs, so all kinds of diseases are easy to arise.

A veritable "medicine"
Before we came into this world, in the process of mother's belly gestation, we did not eat with our mouths, we did not breathe through our noses. All the energy and nutrients are all because of a small tube connected to the mother, which is the umbilical cord.
When we are born, we start to breathe through our nose and we have to feed through our mouths, so we don't need an umbilical cord. The doctor will squeeze out of our mother's belly, click to cut the umbilical cord, the umbilical cord after the scar formed after the umbilical cord falls off becomes the navel, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the Shenque acupoint is worthy of the name of "medicine" big household, when the baby is in the mother's womb, it is by the umbilical cord to connect the mother to supply nutrition, so without the Shenque acupoint, life will cease to exist. It is using the same principle that the absorption rate of medicine is 100% through the Shenque acupoint.
