"Rub" your insomnia, dreams are sweet!
Fang 1: Simple and effective - rub the palms of your hands and feet!
[Principle].
The acupuncture point in the palm of the hand is called Lao Gong, and when the hand is clenched into a fist, the place under the middle finger is that here is the acupuncture point of the pericardial meridian, which is the same as the pericardial meridian "fire", and the nature is hot. There is an idiom of "gearing up", which generally describes the preparation before a big job, and it is necessary to agitate yang energy before a big job, so it will rub this hot acupuncture point in the palm of the hand.
Many TCM massage treatments are used here, such as rubbing hands together and pressing on the waist, abdomen, and eyes, all of which use its heat to warm some weakened and tired parts and organs. One of my classmates has very good eyes, and is one of the few students with a high incidence of myopia who does not wear glasses, and her health care method is to often warm her eyes with hot palms, which is equivalent to replenishing yang qi and increasing ability for tired eyes.
The acupuncture points on the heart of the feet are called Yongquan, which is the well point of the kidney meridian, the so-called well point, that is, the kidney meridian originates from here, the nature of the kidney meridian and the pericardial meridian are relative, belonging to water, there is coolness, and its well point also has the same nature, and it is used to nourish yin and replenish water.
Some people's eyes are red and swollen, and it is always bad to eat gunpowder, and finally it is cured by massaging the heart of the foot, the reason why it has such a miraculous effect is because this person's fire is a false fire, and the appearance of false fire is because there is less water, and it is necessary to replenish water to reduce the fire.
Some people's hearts are hot, usually upset, insomnia, dreams, if you take medicine, the doctor will prescribe the bezoar to clear the heart, the king of heaven to replenish the heart and the like, to the fire at the same time to nourish the heart yin, in order to calm the false fire, this kind of person can first rub the palm of the hand, and then rub the palm of the foot with the hot palm, so that the heart fire and the kidney water intersect, floating on the heart fire because of the kidney water will come down, which is also called "fire return to the yuan" in traditional Chinese medicine.
It is mostly used in the treatment of various hypocrisy caused by the floating of the heart, such as insomnia, aphthous ulcers, and aphthous sores are only on the tip of the tongue, the tongue is very red, upset, restlessness, etc., are in this list, rub the left side for 5-10 minutes before going to bed every day, and persist for a few days to be effective.
I have a friend who has been suffering from early awakening for many years, and woke up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. After learning that kneading the "big fish" was effective, he tried to insist on kneading the big fish, and he really cured the problem of waking up early.
When kneading the "big fish", it is necessary to knead until it is not sore or painful before it can be cured. In addition, we should insist on kneading the big fish every day, not fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, no matter how good the medical skills are, it is difficult to produce good results if you don't take it seriously.
【Principle】
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that early awakening is generally caused by lung fire. If you often wake up around 3 a.m., your heart and lungs are on fire. And the two meridians of the heart and lungs pass through the big fish, so the fire of the heart and lungs can be removed.
The front of the human palm is the base of the thumb, down to the heel of the palm, and the obvious protrusion when the palm is extended, which is medically called the thenar of the macroichthyne. The thenar is closely related to the respiratory organs. Rubbing the acupuncture points of the fish every day is very beneficial to the prevention and treatment of colds, and also has therapeutic effects on symptoms such as sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and cough.
The method is simple: rub your hands together until they are hot.
In addition, sleep is a process in which yin rises and yang falls, and the heart and kidney intersect. There are many thoughts before going to bed, and the yang energy is concentrated in the head, and it is natural that you can't fall asleep if the yin does not rise and the yang does not fall. Focus on your toes and follow the GIF below to practice this movement.
Before going to bed, lie on your back with your legs straight, your heels close to the bed, and your toes hooked up as much as possible so that the soles of your feet and calves are at 90 degrees. With your arms straight and palms facing down, you will feel sleepy after 10 minutes of rest. If you still don't feel sleepy, do it again in five minutes.
The key to the movement is to focus on the toes, so that the qi and blood will also be guided downward, which can not only help you sleep, but also help regulate the problem of cold hands and feet.
