After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is getting colder and colder in the morning and evening, and acupuncture point health care is indispensable!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather has begun to get cooler, and people with a weak and cold constitution feel the most obvious, and they wear long clothes and trousers. In autumn, the temperature gradually decreases, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the change of cold and warm is very irregular. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that at the beginning of autumn, the yang energy gradually collects, the yin energy grows, the scenery is depressed, and the air is dry. Due to the stimulation of cold air, the sympathetic nervous system is excited, blood pressure increases, and thrombosis is promoted, while the histidine in the blood increases, gastric acid secretion increases, and the gastrointestinal tract is prone to spasmodic contractions. To put it simply, susceptible people may encounter problems such as cough, cold, bronchitis, asthma, stomach disease, cerebrovascular disease recurrence, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) health preservation emphasizes "curing diseases before they occur" and preventing them from happening. Acupuncture point care
To prevent the "autumn tiger", health care should start from the solid protection of the "lung guard" and the warming of the "spleen and kidney". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that autumn is easy to hurt the lungs, and in the five elements, the lungs belong to gold, the earth is gold, and the spleen and stomach belong to the earth, so to solve the problem of the lungs, the spleen and stomach must be strengthened first. The main acupuncture points that replenish the lungs and moisten the lungs and yin are the middle of the lungs, the heavenly stupor, the middle navel, the three miles of the foot and the sea of qi. Therefore, in autumn, acupuncture point health should not only take care of the spleen and kidneys, but also take care of the lungs. 1. Knead the Tiantu acupoint: Tiantu acupoint is an acupuncture point belonging to the lung meridian, rubbed with fingers every day, you can operate at any time, 2~3 minutes each time, as long as you insist on doing it, it can effectively alleviate lung diseases such as cough, asthma, etc., or play a preventive role. 2. Rub the Yingxiang acupoint: Yingxiang is the acupuncture point of the large intestine meridian of the hand Yangming, from its name we can see that its function is to make people "smell the fragrance and chase away the smell", and is often used to treat various incurable rhinitis and nasal congestion. It also has an important function: it can moisten the nasal passages. When the nasal cavity is moistened, the power to prevent disease can be increased, especially in autumn when dryness is prevalent. The practice is to use your index finger to quickly rub the Yingxiang acupoint every day until it is hot. 3. Rub and press the middle navel acupoint Frequent rubbing of the middle navel acupoint can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, beneficial transport function, and promote the absorption and excretion of the water valley. Strengthen the spleen and stomach, and nourish the congenital in the future, and then the kidney qi is full. Rubbing the upper abdomen with the palm of your hand for 3 minutes clockwise every day can effectively relieve symptoms such as indigestion, stomach bloating, and stomach pain. Fourth, rub the kidney Yu acupoint: Kidney Yu is the acupuncture point of the foot sun bladder meridian. Regular massage can warm the kidneys and yang, smooth qi and blood, enhance the kidney's qi absorption effect, and then achieve the effect of longevity and strengthening. Rubbing the waist with both hands for 5 minutes each time every day can not only dredge the belt veins and strengthen the psoas muscles, but also help prevent and treat spermatozoa, premature ejaculation, dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders. 5. Rub and press the Yongquan acupoint: Yongquan acupoint is one of the commonly used acupoints of Zushaoyin and Kidney Meridians, which is the lowest acupoint of the whole body, and is the first acupoint of the Kidney Meridian, also known as "Dichong Acupoint". Yongquan acupoint shows its important role in various aspects of human health, disease prevention, disease treatment, and health care. Moxibustion or kneading the spring for 10 minutes a day can prevent and treat high blood pressure, make the kidney essence sufficient, the ears and eyes are clear, the development is normal, the energy is abundant, the sexual function is strong, the waist and knees are strong but not soft, and the walking is strong. Dietary health
The weather is cooler, the climate is dry, and the fluid is easily consumed, so there are often dry mouths and throats, dry stools, and cracked skin. You can eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamins or use traditional Chinese medicine for dietary therapy, such as American ginseng, sand ginseng, almonds, Chuanbei, etc. At this time, the diet should reduce hardships and increase hardships to nourish the heart, liver, spleen and stomach; It is also not advisable to eat too much, so as not to stagnate the stomach and intestines and turn into gastrointestinal diseases. Here I would like to recommend some soups that are convenient to make at home, moisturizing yin and dryness, and warming the yang and driving away cold. 1.
