Everyone knows that we will use clapping to express welcome and joy, but we often don't know that another good thing related to clapping - health preservation, in fact, clapping health has existed since ancient times.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that all diseases are caused by qi and blood imbalance, and long-term insistence on clapping can promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, increase the body's heat, prevent a variety of chronic diseases, and is also effective in preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Let's take a look at the importance of clapping and tips for clapping!
1. Clapping is simple, but the effect is not simple
Clapping is a kind of health preservation method that is strong and yang, and its main function is to replenish qi. The hands are the base camp of yang energy, and the feet are the base camp of yin energy. There are a total of 39 acupuncture points in the hands, and clapping the hands can vibrate the yang qi and promote the flow of qi throughout the body.
In the morning, the sun has just risen, the yang energy between heaven and earth begins to accumulate slowly, and the yang energy in the human body also begins to rise with the rising sun.
Rotate the sun and moon in the palm of your hand,
Time is about to be turned back.
The blood of the whole body surges,
What year is the white head?
The author of the above little poem is Emperor Qianlong. From a literary point of view, this poem by Qianlong Ye is not commendable, but from the perspective of health preservation, this poem is very valuable.
This little poem describes the relationship between the hand and the qi and blood, and he says that the palm of the human hand hides the secret of health and longevity, and if you master this secret, the years will go back.
What's the secret? That's the many acupuncture points on the hands.
Clapping your hands can dredge the qi and blood of the whole body, and the qi serum around the body, when will there be gray hair? Although Qianlongye's poems are a bit exaggerated, clapping hands does have an extraordinary qi-replenishing effect.
Map of hand meridians
There are 12 meridians in the human body, and there are six connected to the palms of the hands, and the meridians are the channels of qi, connecting the five internal organs, and if the meridians are blocked, the flow of qi will not be smooth, and people will get sick.
Clapping can dredge the six meridians at the same time, and its role cannot be underestimated.
2. Clap your hands
1) Ten fingers apart, palms against palms, fingers to fingers, evenly patted;
Remember to separate your thumb from the other four fingers to avoid excessive clapping and bruising. You can start with a light pat and gradually increase it over time.
Bear it with your own hands, but not too lightly. Otherwise, it will not stimulate the acupuncture points and reflex areas of the palm.
It is best to do it early in the morning, but if you feel that the noise made during the clapping is too much to accept, you can also clap the "hollow palm".
2) The palm of the hand is arched, the fingers are open, and the tips of the fingers and the edge of the palm can be patted when patting down;
However, the impact surface of this method is reduced, so the effect will be worse, so the time of slapping should be relatively longer.
3) In addition to the most basic palm shooting, you can also shoot the back of the left and right palms against each other;
Or pat the back of the other hand with the palm of one hand and do it 100 times, so that the back of the hand is slightly reddish.
The acupuncture area where the back of the hand is located corresponds to the entire spine, including the neck, chest, lumbar and sacral vertebrae.
4) Left-hand and left-hand shooting;
5) Bend the palms of both hands and pat each other, and hit the palm of the other hand with a knife in one hand;
6) Clench your fists and shoot at each other.
As long as you carefully read the diagram of the acupuncture points and reflex areas in the palm, you will understand that every small action above is actually aimed at one or several important acupuncture points and reflex areas.
Stimulating them will open up the meridians and ensure the smooth flow of qi and blood.
Generally speaking, a normal person can take a 5-minute shoot every morning to stimulate vitality throughout the day. In addition, this therapy should be avoided if you are too full or have just finished eating, as well as in between meals, so as not to affect the digestive function.
