As early as more than 1,000 years ago, Zhang Zhongjing, a medical saint, had recognized the importance of the belt pulse for women's health, and believed that the belt pulse was the "universal acupoint" for the treatment of gynecological diseases.
Yang Xuancao of the Tang Dynasty once said when commenting on the "Book of Difficulty": "Bring it as a word, and bind it." Words always bind the veins, so that the tone is soft. "The belt pulse is like a person's belt, the belt can restrain the pants and prevent it from slackening, and the belt pulse can restrain the longitudinal pulse (i.e., the twelve meridians, the yin stilt vein, the yang stilt vein, etc.), strengthen the horizontal connection between the meridians, and play a role in coordination and suppleness.
Where exactly is the vein? In traditional Chinese medicine, there are two interpretations of the belt pulse.
One refers to the waist circumference of the human body, which is a horizontal meridian. The other meridians in the human body are all longitudinal, and this meridian is like a belt that ties all the longitudinal meridians together, so it is called a belt vein.
The second refers to the vein point, in the flank, 1.8 inches below the chapter door. Draw a horizontal line with the navel as the center, and draw a vertical line with the armpit as the starting point, and the intersection of the two lines is the belt vein point. This is exactly the place where the belt veins pass, and it is the point where the bile meridian and the belt veins meet.
Due to unhealthy diet, insufficient exercise and other reasons, many women are plagued by obesity, and many young women have grown a "swimming ring" on their waists early. In this case, a "grasping pulse" diet that is said to be effective in eliminating the "swimming ring" has come into view. So, does the "Pulse Grab" diet really work?
What is the relationship between the belt and the "swimming ring" of the waist? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the abdomen of the human body is "the palace city of the five internal organs and six internal organs, the source of yin and yang, qi and blood", the abdomen belongs to yin, and all yin meridians must pass through the abdomen, such as the liver meridian, kidney meridian, spleen meridian, etc. If the meridians passing through the abdomen are stagnant, or the dampness is condensed, it is easy to cause the stagnation of the veins that bind it, and the flow of essence and qi is not smooth, which leads to the weakening of the metabolic function of the surrounding tissues and causes obesity. This kind of obesity does not necessarily manifest as generalized obesity, and is generally manifested by waist and abdominal fat. Therefore, there is a lot of fat in the waist and abdomen, which can also be used as one of the manifestations to diagnose whether the belt pulse is smooth.
"Grabbing the pulse" can not only maintain health and prevent diseases, but also help to lose weight and eliminate the "swimming ring". Li Ping, attending TCM physician of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, pointed out that "'grasping the pulse' is beneficial for the treatment of a variety of gynecological diseases, such as amenorrhea, irregular menstruation, abnormal vaginal discharge, endometritis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc., and also has a certain weight loss effect." So, how to "grasp the pulse"?
The use of "belt pulse" to treat gynecological diseases, in ancient times is a common method, has the effect of regulating menstruation and stopping the band and soothing the liver and stagnation, the best at eliminating the blood stasis and heat accumulation of the meridians here, and it is also a necessary meridian for the treatment of various hernia diseases.
The method of gently beating the belt veins with your hands can speed up the flow of qi and blood in the meridians, which is helpful for the cold waist and often feeling soreness and menstrual cramps. In addition to the effect of dredging the blood veins, pushing the pulse can strengthen the kidneys, knocking on the pulse can also enhance intestinal peristalsis, for people with constipation has a good laxative effect, if there is a fat "swimming ring" in the waist and abdomen, it is also conducive to fat metabolism, reduce the production of fat, and have the effect of slimming while maintaining the pulse. However, expectant mothers and menstruating people should never do this.
Pinch the flesh with the vein position and carry it out, insist on 200 times a day, with a little force, you may feel very painful at first, and there is a gua sha effect out, don't worry, this is opening up the meridians, if you don't get through, it hurts, this is an eternal truth, the meridians are connected, the blood is smooth, and many diseases will be cured unconsciously.
