It is a safe acupuncture point to protect the hearts of the elderly!

Speaking of abyss, everyone knows that it is the abyss, which means that the water is very deep. Too, in ancient times it meant great. "Taiyuan" is very wide and deep water. In myths and legends, Taiyuan is the Tianchi, that is, the Yao Pond of the Queen Mother of the West, on the Kunlun Mountain, which is the source of the Kunlun River.



We can imagine that in the human body, Taiyuan must refer to the place where qi and blood are hidden deeply. Indeed, Taiyuan is the original acupoint of the Lung Sutra, which is the same as the "source", which is the source of life. The original acupuncture points store the innate qi of the kidneys, and the qi and blood of the viscera meridians must obtain the vitality in order to play a role and maintain the normal activities of life. Therefore, the qi and blood here are very vigorous. As for the lungs, they are complementary officials, they regulate the qi of the body, and its original acupoints must be full of qi and blood, and the intention of taking the name of Taiyuan is also here.

Original acupoints: The five internal organs and six internal organs of the human body and the three focal points each have an original acupoint, and there are a total of 12 original acupoints, near the wrist and ankle joints, which are the places where the vitality of the internal organs passes through and stays. The original acupoint is the switch of the viscera meridians, and traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the smoothness of the qi and blood meridians, and only when the switch of the meridians and viscera is turned on, the human body will be healthy.

The original acupoints of the 12 meridians are basically near the wrist and ankle joints. Since it is an abyss, then the pulse qi must be hidden deeply. Therefore, when qi is weak and weak, stimulating the Taiyuan acupoint has a very good effect. This is just like the food we have in reserve, which is easy to move in normal times, and when there is a famine, we can quickly take it out, which can be a good emergency.

Modern medicine has also found that the Taiyuan acupoint can strengthen the respiratory function of the lungs, improve the ventilation of the lungs, and reduce airway resistance. Clinical experiments also found that Taiyuan also has a good effect on the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage and hemoptysis, and has a certain adjustment effect on blood pressure. Among them, the most effective is arrhythmia, which can be well regulated through the Taiyuan acupoint.



We put our left hand palm up, flat on our leg, at the base of the thumb, and we will find a protruding bone. If you place your index, middle, and ring fingers on your right hand at the same time, you will feel a place beating like a pulse. This is the artery pulsating, and the place where this pulse is where our Taiyuan acupoint is located.

So what time is it most effective to stimulate it? We know that the meridian qi of the lung meridian runs at 3-5 o'clock in the morning; The Taiyuan acupoint, which happens to be in the place of the horn vein, can be used to detect the speed of the heartbeat. The elderly generally wake up early, before dawn in the morning, and generally happen to be at this time of day. At this time, put your right hand on the wrist of your left hand and feel your heart rhythm for yourself, if the beating speed is unbalanced and irregular, the Taiyuan acupoint will come in handy immediately. You can first rub on the bed for a period of time, about 2~3 minutes, and wait for the heart rhythm to stabilize a little, and then get dressed and get up.

Arrhythmia belongs to the category of "palpitations" in traditional Chinese medicine, and a very important reason is the lack of heart qi. Taiyuan is the place where the pulse qi is deeply hidden, and stimulating it can promote the flow of qi and let it go up. Therefore, not only arrhythmia and other diseases, but also usually, such as walking, running, or other things, when you are out of breath and out of breath, you can also rest on the spot to stimulate Taiyuan, improve Zhongqi, and maintain the long-term vitality of the body.
