Tried and tested, two acupuncture points to treat rhinitis!





Introduction: "Rhinitis" is a Western medicine disease name, and Chinese medicine does not have this name. It is defined as: rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the nasal cavity, which is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by viruses, bacteria, allergens, various physical and chemical factors and some systemic diseases.


1. So, how does Chinese medicine think about this disease?

Hehe, according to our thinking, we will ask a few questions, such as: Why in the fall, when everyone else is safe, you sneeze and sneeze? In the spring, pollen is everywhere and friends are fine, but you have tears and snot in your eyes?  

The answer is: something is wrong with your body, the external conditions are always there, and it is your own imbalance that leads to overreaction.  

The second question is: Why do you have no problem on a hot day in the summer, but when it is a little cooler in the fall, you start to sneeze? Why is there no problem in the warm sunlight outside, but when you arrive at the air-conditioned room, you start to sneeze? Why is there no problem in the warm bed, but when you get up and go outside, you sneeze all the time?
 
We have seen that it is often the cold that stimulates you, so that the pollen, mites and so on around you become the source of irritation, and when there is no cold wind, you coexist with the pollen.

Therefore, this reaction should be due to the lack of yang energy, which causes the body to become sensitive to cold stimuli. And the remaining yang energy wants to fight, so it leads to a constant resistance reaction.

The watery nasal discharge of these patients also indicates that they feel the cold evil, not the fever, nasal congestion and nasal itching, but also the manifestation of external evil stasis obstructing the nasal cavity.  Such people often have pale tongues, and their tongues will be fat and have tooth marks, which are all manifestations of lack of yang energy.


Second, the point point treatment of rhinitis


Rhinitis is a very common disease, and the proportion of cases is very high (maybe seventy or eighty percent)! It's just a difference in severity.


Although this is not a serious disease, the medical effect is not obvious, and it is lingering and difficult to heal, which brings a lot of inconvenience to life. From the perspective of the meridians, all diseases have a key acupuncture point (organ). This method can be used by everyone, it does not cost anything, and the results are fast!


Specifically, I point to the "Shaoshang" acupoint of the Lung Meridian and the "Dadun" acupoint of the Liver Meridian once or twice a day, for a few minutes each time, and persist for a period of time.


Recently, I have been teaching this method to several colleagues, and the results have been very remarkable, in their words, "tried and tested", so I have made this method public so that it can benefit more patients. According to the patient's description, there will be a large amount of nasal discharge during the acupuncture point, and then he will feel like he is breathing freely. Explaining this principle from the perspective of TCM is actually quite simple:



First, "the nose is the trick of the lungs" Shaoshang acupoint discharges lung qi:


In traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called "nose is the hole of the lungs", rhinitis is generally caused by wind and cold, which leads to depression and sluggishness of lung qi. The five elements of the lungs belong to gold, "Jin Yu Kaizhi" or "Actually discharged", and the most effective way to vent lung qi is the Shaoshang acupoint at the end of the lung meridian, where the Taiyin lung meridian intersects with the Yangming large intestine meridian, and the lung qi can be vented to the large intestine meridian (this is where it should go).


Second, "the liver is the organ of the wind and wood" Dadun acupoint to dispel wind:


Since it is the wind cold, it needs to dispel the wind and dispel the cold. "The liver is the organ of the wind and wood", so the wind evil is generally responsible for the liver. The Dadun acupoint of the liver meridian has the effect of "soothing the liver and warming the liver", soothing the liver can dispel wind, and warming the liver can dissipate cold. Moreover, the liver is the main qi machine, and the qi depression actually needs to be drained of the liver meridian, which is a matter of course.



Point tools:


You can make your own tools: find a bamboo chopstick, grind the head into a smooth hemisphalosphere the size of a mung bean, or find a ready-made plastic or something, in short, the head needs to be smooth, and it is advisable to have a hemispherical shape the size of a mung bean.


However, there is one thing that needs to be reminded in advance: it will be very painful when you click on the acupuncture points! As much as you can tolerate, you need to grit your teeth and persevere. In traditional Chinese medicine, the so-called "if it is not passed, it will be painful, and if it is not painful", if there is a pain reaction at a certain acupuncture point, it means that the acupuncture point is not passed, and the more severe the pain, the more serious the blockage. After insisting on the acupuncture points for a period of time, the pain of the acupuncture points is reduced, which means that a part of the acupuncture points has been dredged, and the disease has been reduced.
