Calves, a vicious base camp!
Some people do not feel warm even when they touch the skin of their waist, legs and buttocks with their hands in the scorching summer sun, especially when they touch their feet. There is also an obvious symptom, that is, the calf is swollen all the year round, and when you touch it with your hands, it is cold, soft and numb......
For female friends, such calves are also unsightly. In this case, it is necessary to consider whether the body has deposited yin poison.
Calf: A vicious base camp!
The human body often leads to the accumulation of yin poison in the body, which is mainly damp poison, cold poison and stasis poison, and especially likes to be deposited in the lower legs.
So, why is "a body of yin and poison gathering calves"? There are two reasons for this:
1. Yin poison has the characteristics of heavy and downward tendency, and it is easy to deposit downward;
2. The calf is at the edge of the body, "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away", the yang energy cannot take care of it, and the yin poison is difficult to be vaporized.
Because of the existence of the above two reasons, the yin poison is encamped in the calf, and over time, the calf has become a base camp of yin poison!
What are the dangers of yin poison?
1. Damp poison
Many female friends find that they are obviously not fat, but their calves are very thick, which has nothing to do with fat, but swelling, and even a pit in severe cases. In addition, they often have symptoms such as muscle weakness, heavy gait, and inability to move.
This is actually caused by the weakness of the spleen and kidney, the spleen mainly transports water and dampness, the kidney mainly metabolizes water, the spleen and kidney are weak, and the water and dampness are retained, and the limbs and face will be swollen.
2. Cold poison
Some female friends have cold legs all year round, with the knees as the dividing point, the thighs are slightly better, and the calves are much more serious, and the further down the thighs, the cooler they become.
In addition to the well-known "old cold legs", the following diseases can also be caused:
If the calf is cold, it will cause blood stasis, just like "freezing", it will be difficult for qi and blood to go down, and it will turn to stasis in the pelvic cavity and form fibroid cysts.
Venous return in the leg is mainly contracted by the calf muscles. The cold main retraction and coagulation stagnation directly affect the contractile function of the calf muscles, resulting in the difficulty of venous blood returning to the heart, and in the long run, it is easy to induce heart disease.
People have "four roots" (ear roots, nose roots, milk roots, and foot roots), and the heel is the foundation of the "four roots". Cold calves will affect the transmission of instructions between the legs and the brain, and then affect the health of the whole body.
3. Stasis
Stasis mainly refers to blood stasis.
The calf is the end of the limb, too far away from the heart and lungs, the flow of qi and blood is most affected, and stasis is most likely to occur, and varicose veins are the most direct consequence of blood stasis in the calf.
The terrible thing about varicose veins is not only that they can cause the skin to ulcerate and become "old rotten legs", but also that they are prone to pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening.
Lack of yang qi and accumulation of yin and cold must be moxibustion
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says that "yang gas, yin forming", and the garbage and waste of the human body must be discharged from the body with the help of the gasification function of yang qi. Once the yang energy is insufficient and cannot be gasified in time, these garbage wastes will become yin poison and remain in the body.
Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine believes that from the perspective of human pathology, all diseases that are formed are negative, and the most common is gynecological fibroids.
Why do gynecologic fibroids always recur after surgery? Because surgery cannot change the patient's physique, as long as yin toxicity exists, gynecological fibroids can never be cured.
Yin and Yang are mutually restrained, to treat any disease caused by yin poison, or to prevent yin poison from causing diseases, it is necessary to support yang qi to dispel yin and cold, and the root cause of the cure lies in: supporting yang, dispersing cold, and chasing stasis.
At this time, moxibustion is about to be used, moxibustion has the effect of supporting yang qi, dispelling cold and dampness, invigorating blood and removing stasis, etc., as "the first party in the world to help yang", it is the best choice to remove yin poison.
During moxibustion, the heat and medicinal properties of moxa fire are advanced layer by layer, and they are transmitted directly to the lesion site, so that the moxibustion area and even the affected meridians form a thermal environment from shallow to deep, promote the dissipation and discharge of various pathological products such as yin toxin, and achieve the purpose of dispelling the disease.
In addition, moxibustion can also stimulate healthy qi, promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, fundamentally regulate yin and yang, eliminate the hidden dangers of disease formation, and achieve the health care effect of preventing and treating diseases.
Women don't moxibustion their legs, and they do moxibustion in vain
In the skin of the whole body, the thinness of the calf ranks third, and you can "take medicine" like the mouth, plus the calf area is large and there are many blood vessels, so moxibustion works very quickly.
Moreover, the human body is a circle, the waist and abdomen are the upper semicircle, the legs are the lower semicircle, and the waist and abdomen are moxibustion alone, and the qi and blood can only rotate in the upper semicircle, and cannot form a complete circulation. Most of the modern women's bodies are cold and damp, or hot at the top and cold at the bottom, and they need moxibustion to improve their legs.
In the moxibustion world, there is also a saying that "women don't moxibustion their legs, and moxibustion is also white moxibustion".
There are many acupuncture points on the lower legs, generally speaking, moxibustion to remove the yin poison of the lower legs, it is recommended to re-moxibustion 5 acupoints:
1. Zusanli: Enhance the ability of the spleen and stomach to transport and generate blood, and moxibustion must be done if the spleen and stomach are poor and the body is weak!
2. Yinling Spring: It belongs to the acupuncture points of the spleen meridian, and moxibustion is necessary to dispel dampness!
3. Sanyin Jiao: Regulate the spleen, liver, and kidneys, and moxibustion is necessary for gynecological diseases!
4. Taixi: Breed kidney water, the most tonifying acupuncture points in the whole body, infertility, kidney deficiency, and low menstrual flow must be moxibustion!
5. Fuchu: the hub of regulating the kidney meridian, specializing in the treatment of water and fluid metabolism disorders and the key points for blood circulation and blood stasis, blood stasis must be moxibustion!
In addition, you can also refer to this method: gently tap and rub the calf, once you find a node or pain point, focus on moxibustion there, that is, directly moxibustion A is acupoint, do not have to follow the script.
In addition, before moxibustion, apply a hot towel to the calves first, and wait for the water to dry out, and the effect will be better.
Moxibustion calves have 4 major benefits!
By enhancing the yang energy of the calves, it guards the passage of yin poison into the body and expells the old yin poison vaporization. At this time, with the moxibustion spring as a "sewage outlet", the stagnant toxins can be discharged from it!
