Belly rubbing for health has a history of thousands of years in China. As early as the Qi Liang period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a method of rubbing the abdomen in the "Yijin Sutra" written by Bodhidharma, which was widely circulated among the people at that time.
In the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao also took "walking a hundred steps after eating, often rubbing the abdomen with his hands" as his way of longevity.
In the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, Fang Kai's "Nine Turns of Extending the Year" introduced in detail the method of rubbing the abdomen by hand, and Yan Wei illustrated it.
Fang Kai, a native of Xin'an (She County) in Anhui Province in the Qing Dynasty, is a famous health practitioner in the Yongzheng period, and he created the "Immortal Abdominal Rubbing Method", which has a miraculous effect on maintaining the body and mind and eliminating diseases. Insist on rubbing the abdomen, self-energy "through and up and down, separate yin and yang, go to the old and give birth to the new, enrich the five organs, drive away the evil of external senses, clear the hundred evidences of internal life, make up for deficiencies, diarrhea is excessive, the way to eliminate food, the magic should be endless, and there is a disease to prolong the effective ear".
Abdomen: The palace city of the five internal organs, the source of yin and yang, qi and blood
The reason why belly rubbing can play a health care role is because the abdomen plays an important role in the human body.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the back is yang, and the abdomen is yin". The stomach of the human body includes the 12 important meridians such as the Ren meridian, the stomach meridian, the kidney meridian, the liver meridian, the spleen meridian, and even the chong pulse and the belt pulse. From the throat to the genitalia, everything is inseparable from this center.
The abdomen is where the five internal organs live, with the liver, spleen, stomach, gall bladder, large intestine, small intestine, kidney, bladder and other organs distributed.
It is often said that "people live a breath", that is, people's survival is inseparable from qi for every minute and second, and without qi, people's lives will end, but "qi can benefit people, but it can also harm people". Although people can't do without qi, they can't do without qi. Therefore, the treatment of the disease first treats the qi, and the qi disease does not exist.
For all chronic diseases, a corresponding block point can be found in the abdomen. In other words, all chronic diseases can find their corresponding clues in the abdomen.
From this, we can conclude that when our chronic disease is not cured, but we don't know what the cause is and how to treat it, then you go to the block point in the abdomen (maybe a hard lump, maybe a pain point, maybe a "sink", maybe an "air mass") and just push it away and knead it, and you will find that your chronic disease is gone.
If you don't find out that you have any chronic disease, but you have a blockage point in one part of your abdomen, you must quickly push it away, because it will be a hidden danger in the future.
Rubbing abdomen - through and up and down, sorting yin and yang, rising and clearing turbidity, and gasification
The spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation of the human body, and the intestine and brain have the same root as the cranial brain. Physiologically, the nutrition of the five internal organs and limbs is fed by the subtlety of the water valley received by the stomach.
The spleen and stomach are in the abdomen, the spleen should be healthy, and the stomach should be lowered, they are the hub of the body's qi machine lifting, only when the rise and fall of turbidity, gasification can be normal.
As the Japanese Chinese medicine Tang Ben Qiuzhen said: the abdomen is the foundation of life, so it is the root of all diseases.
If our body often feels uncomfortable and there are symptoms of spleen and stomach disharmony, it is recommended that you try to push the stomach, you will easily find the blocking point, and then carefully push it away and rub it away.
In this way, we can quickly adjust the visceral meridians and qi through the perception of our hands to help the human body achieve metabolic balance.
Ge Hong, a physician in the Jin Dynasty, also emphasized: "If you want to derive, the stomach must be clear", and the Qing Dynasty physician Chen Feixia said in his statement of the relationship between the abdomen and longevity: "The abdomen is the sea of the water valley, the water valley is Yingye, and the main longevity."
In short, the method of rubbing the abdomen can be used to reconcile up and down, separate yin and yang, remove the old and give birth to the new, enrich the five organs, drive away the evil of external senses, and clear the internal diseases.
