"It's like a thousand mosquitoes hiding in my ears, buzzing, I can't sleep well at night, I don't have energy during the day, my hearing is getting worse and worse, and people are about to be crazy......"
The pain of tinnitus is understood by anyone who has experienced it.
Tinnitus, strictly speaking, is not a disease, but a symptom of the feeling of sound in the absence of an external sound source.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, there are no insects flying in the ears, but there is a buzzing sound like mosquitoes in the ears, and some people will hear the whirring wind, the sizzling of electricity, the whining whistle, and so on.
According to statistics, there are at least 100 million tinnitus patients in China, and the trend is younger, and tinnitus has become a common health problem for people.
If tinnitus occurs frequently, it is easy to cause people to have irritability, anxiety, depression and other emotions, affecting sleep at night and daily life. In addition, if these negative emotions are not properly resolved, it will further aggravate the tinnitus.
Long-term tinnitus can also cause hearing loss, making people have hearing impairment and risk of deafness. Once the middle-aged and elderly people are deaf, they are soundproof for a long time, and they cannot communicate with people normally, and they are prone to Alzheimer's disease after a long time!
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, tinnitus is divided into real symptoms and deficiency symptoms. Sudden tinnitus in young and middle-aged people is generally a real symptom.
Nowadays, people work under pressure and pursue more, but often they can't do everything as they want. In this case, people's liver fire will be large, and the liver and gallbladder are each other's surface and inside, and the gallbladder meridian is connected to the ear, so the liver fire will cause gallbladder fire, and then follow the meridian into the ear to cause tinnitus.
The main symptoms of tinnitus are acute onset, loud tinnitus, and a deeper tone. Deficiency usually occurs in the elderly or overworked people.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory says that women enter the aging period at the age of 7749, and men begin to weaken their kidney qi at the age of 88 or 64, so the elderly generally lack kidney qi. Young people are tired of working all year round, which will also lead to kidney qi deficiency in advance.
The kidneys are open to the ears, and the ears are not nourished by enough kidney qi, which is prone to tinnitus.
If it is persistent, long-lasting, and intermittent tinnitus, it is generally more hypothermia.
When tinnitus occurs, first of all, don't be nervous, relax your mind, pay attention to rest, adjust your sleep, and try to improve it through moxibustion.
"Acupuncture and Moxibustion Shisheng Sutra" records that "listening to the meeting, curing deafness, the ear is like the sound of cicadas", the listening acupoint belongs to the Zu Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, moxibustion This acupoint can channel the Shaoyang meridian qi, and it is the key acupoint for regulating tinnitus and deafness.
The aural acupoints and ear acupoints above it have the effect of opening the ears and dissipating heat and activating the nerves. The combination of three acupoints and moxibustion directly acts on the acupuncture points, forming a strong stimulation to the acupuncture points and strengthening the dredging of qi and blood in the ears.
As mentioned above, the main cause of tinnitus in the real disease is liver fire in the body, so we should also pay attention to clearing the liver and nourishing the liver. In addition to moxibustion on the above-mentioned acupuncture points around the ear, it is also necessary to add moxibustion Taichong acupoint and Zulin weeping acupoint, which can have the effect of clearing the liver and gallbladder.
Deficiency tinnitus is mainly due to kidney deficiency, so moxibustion should be added to the acupuncture points such as Tinghui, Tinggong, and Ear Gate, as well as the Mingmen acupoint and the Kidney Yu acupoint, which can nourish the kidney and benefit the ear and facilitate recovery.
It is important to emphasize that:
First, if you find that tinnitus is a problem, you must treat it as soon as possible, the longer it drags on, the more tricky it will be;
Second, moxibustion conditioning requires patience and perseverance. You know, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it.
Third, tinnitus patients must learn to relax, avoid mental tension and fatigue, and stay away from noise, which is conducive to the recovery of tinnitus.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the reason why the ear can maintain normal hearing has a lot to do with the smooth flow of qi and blood in the meridians of the ear.
The following two actions can be used to dredge the meridians, run qi and blood, and prevent ear disease.
Press the palms of both hands firmly on the ear holes, put the middle finger and index finger on the back of the head and gently percussion, so that the ear rumbles like hearing the sound of drums, and repeat the operation 20-30 times. This method has the effect of awakening the mind and opening the mind, and calming the dizzy and deaf ears.
After the heart rubs and heats up, massage up and down along the front of the ear, and then fold forward to massage the back, and rub until the local diathermy is the degree. This method can dredge the meridians, and has a health care effect on the ears and even the whole body.
