Don't panic about rhinitis, one acupuncture point and one action can heal!



Nasal congestion, itching and unbearable, but also involuntarily runny nose, sneezing, blowing a lot, the nose and both sides become red, and it is completely untouchable, some people will say: "This is a cold, right?" "It's okay to say if you really have a cold, but unfortunately, it's rhinitis. In fact, it is not difficult to solve the problem of rhinitis, find the Yingxiang acupoint, press and knead for 3 minutes every day, insist on about 15 days, you can effectively improve the respiratory system, eliminate the symptoms of rhinitis, and long-term persistence can be completely cured.

Rhinitis is not a big deal, but its impact is really not small: sneezing, runny nose all day long, uncomfortable nose, not to mention embarrassing at work, facing colleagues, superiors or customers. But often the more you try to stop, the more you can't stop, and the situation of not being able to control yourself is absolutely maddening...... I have also experienced the pain of rhinitis, and luckily, when I was in school, my tutor taught me a simple and good way to cure rhinitis.


When I was still studying medicine in medical school, it was probably because it was too smelly and beautiful, and I always refused to wear more clothes, and I don't know how it slowly changed from a cold and runny nose to rhinitis, sometimes good and sometimes bad, and when it was serious, my eyes were red and my nose was constantly clear, and I still feel uncomfortable when I think about it now. One day, the tutor gave us counseling, but I just happened to have rhinitis, snot sobbing and smoking, and with the tutor's explanation, I fell down together, and I was really going to die. In the end, I plugged my nostrils with some paper and covered my nose with my hands, not to mention the shame.


The instructor called me to me after class and asked, "Is it a cold or rhinitis?" "The tutor was always very nice to us students, treating us as children, and always reminded us to add clothes when it was cold. I knew very well that the mentor was deliberately reminding me of the consequences of disobedience, and I could only honestly say, "It's rhinitis." The instructor snorted and said, "Have you forgotten which acupuncture point you are talking about?" Think carefully about what it's for. ”


After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered that the instructor was referring to the Yingxiang acupoint, and I tried to ask, "Do you massage the Yingxiang acupoint?" "The instructor didn't speak, so I pointed my finger at the Yingxiang acupoint and pressed it back and forth. The instructor looked at him and said, "Rotate in a clockwise direction." I turned it in a clockwise direction for fifty or sixty times, and suddenly I felt that the nasal congestion was not so heavy, and of course the snot was still runny. The instructor said, "Go back and insist on pressing this acupuncture point, I don't believe you can't even deal with rhinitis."


The truth is, it didn't take long for my rhinitis to get better. Looking back now, it was completely because I didn't like to wear more clothes and the cold in my body was too heavy, so that my health was not solid, which caused rhinitis. However, since then, I have truly experienced the teacher's intention to emphasize more clothes in cold weather, and I have developed the habit of massaging Yingxiang acupoint, and I will massage my face a few times every morning after washing my face.

Yingxiang CaveIt is a large acupuncture point that specializes in receiving the turbidity of the five grains of the stomach meridian and extracting the Qingyang qi in the large intestine meridian to the stomach meridian. Incense, spleen and stomach grains also. It can be seen that the reason why this acupuncture point gets its name is that it can provide qi and blood to the stomach meridian, so that its turbidity qi can descend and rise the clear yang of the five grains. Some people say that they can't smell the fragrance of food all year round, which is caused by the obstruction of Yingxiang acupoint.


The cause of rhinitis is not only the wind evil accumulated by wind and cold, but also the cause of internal heat stagnation of the lungs and occlusion of the lungs, and at the same time, kidney and spleen deficiency are also important causes of rhinitis. In this case, if you want to improve rhinitis, you must start by tonifying the stagnation organs such as the lungs, spleen, and kidneys, and dissipate heat for them. Massaging the Yingxiang acupoint can promote the blood circulation of the nose, which is equivalent to opening up the passage of the large intestine meridian, the large intestine meridian and the lung meridian are the surface and the inside, the large intestine meridian can make the turbidity qi smoothly decline, and the Qingyang qi will naturally rise, so that the lung qi is sufficient, and the inflammation of the respiratory system will naturally be cured.


Massage method


When looking for your own Yingxiang acupoint, it is advisable to sit upright, or you can lie on your back, then put your hands on both sides of the nose on the face of the face, and the groove at a distance of 1 cm from the nose is the Yingxiang acupoint. Press the middle finger on the acupuncture point and knead it in a clockwise direction, 1~3 times a day, about 50 laps each time. Generally speaking, if you persist for more than ten days, the rhinitis symptoms will gradually improve, and if you continue to persist, the rhinitis that has not healed for a long time will leave on its own.

This method is suitable for various types of rhinitis, such as acute, chronic and allergic, especially for acute and chronic rhinitis. If it is allergic rhinitis, you only need to add and knead the bamboo acupoint, that is, press the Yingxiang acupoint for 1 minute and then press the bamboo acupoint for 1 minute, back and forth 3 times, generally insist on more than ten days, and the symptoms of allergies will be naturally reduced. The principle is also very simple, the reason why the nose is allergic is because the nasal mucosa is highly sensitive to allergic components in the air, and massaging the bamboo acupoint can change the sensitivity of our nasal cavity. In this way, Yingxiang acupoint and bamboo acupoint are combined to achieve a two-pronged approach, and the effect is naturally good.

If it is atrophic rhinitis, in addition to pressing the Yingxiang acupoint, use the index finger to push back and forth on both sides of the nasal bridge. Atrophic rhinitis is often manifested as the loss of the sense of smell, headache, tinnitus, rubbing the sides of the nose bridge bone is an effective conditioning of the respiratory system. Usually, you can rub both sides of the nasal bone for 1~3 minutes after pressing the Yingxiang acupoint, and the strength is limited to the red heat on both sides of the nasal bone, and you will also receive obvious improvement after holding it for a period of time.


A quick solution to your child's rhinitis and nasal congestion


What should I do if my child has a blocked nose or even rhinitis? You can try squats. Especially for children with rhinitis, after getting up in the morning and before eating, do a few squats. How much is specific according to the child's ability, not necessarily the more the better, just sweat slightly, if the child can't do it, too tired, but also stop, Chinese medicine says that exercise, are appropriate and not easy to excessive.


The problem of squats being able to quickly solve nasal congestion was something I stumbled upon. Therefore, when I found that older children had nasal congestion in the outpatient clinic, I often asked them to do 40 squats, so that parents and students could observe the child's nasal congestion and make a before and after comparison. After the child, talk about changes in the nose, such as changes in nasal congestion and whether the breathing is smooth. After the squat, we and the parents found that most of the children's nasal congestion had changed, and the children also felt that their breathing began to be smoother and the air was much fresher. So in my clinic, I often see children doing squats there.


I haven't figured out how this works by squats to change nasal congestion. Squats are anaerobic exercises that mobilize many parts of the body, including the calves, buttocks, abdomen, heart, and lungs. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, rhinitis nasal congestion should have the pathogenesis of clear yang not rising, turbidity yin not falling, squat is an up and down exercise, which can regulate the body's qi, clear yang can rise, turbid yin can fall, so nasal congestion can be improved.

What impressed me the most is that there is a parent who always has a child with nasal congestion, when I introduced the child to do squats to improve the child's nasal congestion, the parents' compliance was very good, and the child was urged to squat 40 times in the morning and 40 times at night when he went to bed every day. Parents are happy, and of course I'm even happier.


Of course, squats should pay attention to the child over 5 years old, the frequency of squatting should not be too fast, to teach the child to adjust the breathing, and gradually form a squat together, one exhale and one inhale. It is recommended that parents may wish to let their children squat when they find that their children over 5 years old have nasal congestion when they are sitting or reading for a long time, which may help.
