Everyone has a belly button, but have you noticed that your belly button is different from everyone else's?
Did you know that you can tell your health problems from your belly button?
It is one of the most overlooked acupuncture points. The belly button is a gateway that helps us absorb nutrients before we are born. When we are born, the navel becomes a useless scar. But in fact, in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the navel is the closest part of our body to the five internal organs.
It is also an important acupuncture point in our human body, called Shenque acupoint.
We can observe the changes in the navel to determine whether the body is healthy or whether there is a disease.
Today, I'm going to talk to you about the relationship between the navel and health.
Distinguish disease from shape
1. The navel is shallow and small
It means that the body is weak, the hormone secretion in the body is abnormal, the whole body is weak, and the mental condition is not good.
In obesity or inflammation of the abdomen, such as adhesion tuberculous peritonitis, the belly button is sunken inward.
3. The belly button is protruding
When there is a large amount of fluid in the abdomen or an ovarian cyst, the belly button protrudes outward.
Attention should be paid to preventing gastric prolapse, constipation, chronic gastrointestinal diseases and gynaecological diseases.
The belly button eye lengthens upwards and almost becomes a triangle with the apex pointing upwards.
6. The navel is on the left
Poor gastrointestinal function, constipation, or bowel mucosal lesions should be prevented.
7. The navel is on the right
Diseases such as hepatitis and duodenal ulcer should be noted.
The navel is the place where you are most afraid of catching a cold. Unlike the rest of the abdomen, the belly button is devoid of muscle and adipose tissue under the umbilicus, and blood vessels are abundant.
As the final closure of the abdominal wall, the skin is thinner, more sensitive, and has the characteristics of strong permeability and fast absorption.
Due to the poor barrier function, it is a relatively weak place in the human body, and it is easy to catch cold and catch wind cold.
Pay more attention to the warmth of the umbilicus when sleeping, so as not to cause diarrhea or cold.
Especially for young women, especially menstruating women, the blood vessels are congested, and wearing a crop top dress is most likely to cause pelvic blood vessels to constrict due to cold.
It leads to poor menstrual blood flow, which can cause dysmenorrhea, prolonged menstruation, and irregular menstruation for a long time.
Umbilical Cord Health Method
Sitting, lying down, or standing can be done, try to relax the whole body, and fully expose the abdomen.
Rub both hands together first, put the palm of one hand on the navel, press the other hand on the navel, and knead 50~100 times clockwise and then counterclockwise from small to large.
The kneading force should be gentle, not strong, once a day in the morning and once in the evening.
Massaging the Shenque and abdomen can increase appetite, help digestion, enhance physical fitness, and can prevent and treat gastroenteritis, peptic ulcer, prostatitis and other diseases.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine to apply the umbilical cord
Cold abdominal pain with ginger, Wu Yu, cinnamon, cloves, etc.
For the elderly and infirm, different drugs can be used to compress the umbilical cord according to the deficiency of physical fitness, qi and blood, yin and yang, which has the magic of strengthening the body and prolonging life.
When applying the umbilicus, the medicine passes through the skin and reaches the meridians. And through the flow of qi and blood through the meridians, the medicinal properties are transfused around the body with the flow of qi and blood.
It achieves the purpose of warming the meridians, passing qi and blood, dissipating cold and dampness, harmonizing the yin and yang of the viscera, and enhancing the physique, and prolonging life.
Moxibustion is a method of treating diseases and preventive health care through the transmission of warm heat stimulation and medicine, through the conduction of meridians, to achieve the warmth of qi and blood, and to strengthen the right and dispel evil.
moxa suspension time: 10-15 minutes.
The navel eye has always been regarded by doctors as an important point for curing diseases. Therefore, massage or moxibustion of the navel eye (Shenque acupoint) can strengthen the body and dispel diseases.
