Spring is coming, the liver is hot, inexplicably irritable and anxious? Luckily, the antidote is on you!
In spring, the earth warms up, the temperature rises, and the human body begins to be full of vitality. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics Su Wen: Four Seasons Tune the Spirit" said: Spring and March, this is called Chen, heaven and earth are born, and all things are glorious. At this time, there is a germinal power in nature, and what echoes it in our body is the liver (liver main germination). In life, we often hear a noun - liver fire. Why is it easy to get angry in spring? For example, some people are usually very good at dealing with people, but when it comes to spring, they are particularly anxious. We may also have experienced that in the spring, the moment you receive a certain message and hear a certain thing, you don't think much about it, you want to make a decision immediately, and you are more impulsive. This is an instinct of the body, and it is because of the upward rush of liver qi that we can't help it. There is another manifestation of liver fire: inexplicable irritability and anxiety, which occur much more frequently than in other seasons. In spring, people often feel that they are prone to irritation, such as bitter mouth, pimples on the scalp, blistering lips, blistering nasal passages, etc. How should we deal with all this? The first thing to do is to restore the state of the liver and gallbladder, because they are all wood, and they are each other's inside and outside. The liver meridian and gallbladder meridian are especially prone to disorders in spring. The Yellow Emperor's Neijing calls the liver "the general of the human body", and this general's task is to lead the "army" against the toxins that accumulate in the body and invade the body. If there is an abnormality in the liver meridian, the body will present various uncomfortable symptoms, such as poor complexion, dry throat, nausea, diarrhea, yin pain, low back pain, third finger pain in the foot, irritability, lack of decision-making, etc. Manifestations of hepatic menstrual disorders 1. Pain in both flanks "Wai" refers to the part from the armpit to the waist; Then "lead the abdomen", "less abdomen" refers to the belly below the navel, and "lead the less abdomen" means to make the lower abdomen also painful, because the liver meridian also passes through the lower abdomen, so it will also cause pain in the lower abdomen, and at the same time "make people angry". These are all empirical diseases of the liver meridian. 2. Blind sight "The liver receives blood and can see", that is, if the liver is full of blood, people can see things, so when people's eyes are blurred, it is actually an image of insufficient liver blood. 3. Low back pain should not be pitched Some people have severe low back pain, bending over is particularly uncomfortable, if there is such a situation, people can go to massage an acupuncture point -Taichong acupoint, which is a very important acupuncture point in the liver meridian, next to the big toe. If people are angry, the Taichong acupoint will have pain, so when you wash your feet every night, massage the Taichong acupoint, you can rub the pain away, as long as the Taichong acupoint does not hurt, this meridian will be fine, even if it is very clear. 4. The husband has a hernia, and the woman has less abdominal swelling The liver meridian is the only meridian that runs around the genitals, and it goes around not only the male genitalia, but also the female genitalia, so that both men and women will have some problems with the reproductive system. For example, the symptom of impotence is generally classified in Chinese medicine as liver disease, the main tendon of the liver, and impotence belongs to the function of the tendon. If the human kidney essence is particularly deficient, it will also cause liver lesions, so Chinese medicine often says that the liver and kidney are homologous. If a person has liver disease, don't simply think that it is just a liver problem, because the root of the liver is in the kidneys, and if there is a problem with the kidneys, people will still get liver disease, and the two are closely related. 5. Sore throat If the liver disease is severe, it will be "dry", that is, the throat will be sore. The throat is the "main way", because all the meridians of the upper brain have to go through this narrow channel, and the liver meridian also follows the throat. So throat disease is not a minor disease, but a serious one. 6. Dry mouth and bitter mouth If the liver qi leaks out, and the liver qi is hyperactive all the time, the nature of the strip is excessive, and the sour nature is insufficient, people will have a bitter and dry mouth, for example, some people will have a very bitter mouth when they get up in the morning. Because the liver and gallbladder are homologous, bitter, and it is also a manifestation of lesions. 7. Decolorization of surface dust That is, the face is not shiny, "like earth", as if covered with a layer of dust, and the face is expressionless. "Color" represents an expression, such as "joy and anger in color", that is, joy and anger will appear on the face, if it does not appear, "decolorization", it is a manifestation of liver and blood deficiency. 8. The chest is full of vomiting People often have a bad mood, hiccup, and a surge of anger. In daily life, by massaging the stomach and stomach, you can solve it first, that is, when the qi is reversed, you let it go down. If the person is very depressed, theacupointswill be blocked, at this time, we can use our thumbs to pinch down the acupoints to let the qi go down. In addition to the above problems, we also have to talk about the stomach. Some people have stomach problems, which may be caused by the liver, and the liver is muketu, causing problems in the spleen and stomach. Therefore, after many people get angry, don't rush to eat, and pay attention to soothing the liver. If there is a problem with the liver meridian, there are many problems that may be caused, such as weakness of the limbs, cold hands and feet, diarrhea, etc., which will not be listed one by one. Now that it is the beginning of the Spring Festival, we must pay attention to more soothing liver qi, dredging the liver meridian, drinking some rose tea, etc. Techniques such as gua sha and massage can be used. A solution How should the liver meridian and gallbladder meridian be dredged? Let's explore the easily blocked acupuncture points on the liver meridian - the yin pocket acupoint on the inner thigh. On the midline of the inner thigh, about 1 palm-wide above the knee joint, use the interphalangeal joint of the opposite thumb to exert vertical force with a torque of 2~3 cm, and tap 3~5 times. If there is a blockage in the liver meridian, then this area is not only painful, but may also feel hard. The outer side of the thigh, symmetrical with the Yin Bao acupoint, is the Fengshi acupoint of the gallbladder meridian, which is also particularly easy to block. Some friends, when rubbing the external test of the wind chamber acupoint and the internal test of the Yin Bao acupoint, will burp, exhaust, feel very happy, this is a good reaction. I often say: the body is intelligent and it regulates itself. Why is it that the meridians that are easy to block the acupuncture points can restore the state of the liver and gallbladder? That's because the liver meridian and gallbladder meridian are the projection of the liver and gallbladder outside, and the so-called "everything inside must be formed outside". Only by keeping the liver meridian and gallbladder meridian smooth at all times can the liver and gallbladder work be carried out smoothly. Of course, the Yin Bao acupoint of the liver meridian and the Fengshi acupoint of the bile meridian are only two important points on the liver and gallbladder meridians. The easy blocking point of the liver meridian also has the Taichong acupoint on the foot surface, and the gallbladder meridian also has the shoulder well acupoint in the upper part. In this season, there are often friends who have cervical spine discomfort, how to improve it? As long as it is on the neck, pinch the shoulder and neck points "soft". Very easy to operate, just use your right hand, place it on the highest point of the left shoulder, pinch it up, then release it, and repeat a few times. If you get tired after pinching for a minute or two, pinch the other side with one hand. If you can do this movement 5 times a day for 3 days, I dare to guarantee that your shoulders will become "soft", and you will feel that your head is clear and clear, because at this time the qi and blood will reach your head. If you look at the meridians and follow the route, you will find that the liver meridian will also pass through the neck, so if you rub the yin bag acupoint of the liver meridian on the inner thigh at the distal end, you will find that the neck has become much more flexible. Why is it especially important for women to unblock the liver and gallbladder meridians? Because traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver hides blood. If a female friend has too much liver fire and liver qi is stagnant, then menstruation will also be greatly affected. Therefore, it is recommended that all female compatriots dredge the yin bag acupoint on the inner thigh, the Fengshi acupoint on the outer thigh, the shoulder well acupoint on the neck and shoulder, and the Linqi acupoint and Taichong acupoint on the foot surface. Each acupuncture point, 2~3 times a day, 1~2 minutes each time can be tapped, persist for a week, and the pain point will slowly disappear. Don't put too much pressure on yourself in the spring In modern society, the success we Chinese pursue seems to be not just material, and many people are used to comparing themselves with others, such as cars, houses, or face. That's not the case with the ancients, maybe they can't compare in this regard, everyone is about the same, so they don't care too much about this. But what did the ancients pay attention to? Life has to be lived. As said in "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classics: The Ancient Theory of Innocence": Beautiful food, let it be served, happy and customary, high and low do not admire each other, and its people are simple. (Meaning: A people who regard the food they eat as luscious, the clothes they wear as comfort, the environment in which they live in comfort, and do not envy or envy because of their dignity and dignity are called simple.) ） Why are modern people especially prone to anxiety and insomnia in spring? Because in the mind, I have already gotten used to it, to go up, to strive for it. Spring is indeed a season of hair growth, and to be positive, the main theme is right. But we must know that we must grasp a degree, not blindly, and speed up the pace of life and work a little bit when we are within our physical capabilities. If your body itself does not have this strength, then we should be steady, peaceful, calm, and calm. Not only in spring, but all year round.
