The principle of tongue against palate: "When the mouth is closed and the teeth are closed, the gums are naturally attached to the tip of the tongue and in front of the tongue." That is, the tip of the tongue gently touches between the upper gums and teeth.
The function of "tongue reaching the palate" is: first, it produces fluid, and second, it opens the channels of Ren and Du. The tongue naturally sticks to the upper jaw, how to naturally stick to the upper jaw? The artistic conception is that the mouth has a tongue, the son has a tongue, and the son has a long stream of fluid. Let's have a try. Hold your tongue naturally and let the upper jaw touch it, no matter where it touches the surface of your tongue. This way you can speak with your tongue in a short time, which is correct. In practice, it is generally unnecessary to deliberately "put your tongue on the palate". If you feel uncomfortable on the tongue palate, which will affect your practice, you don't need to ask this part to be in place. When it is necessary to take over the Du meridian after dredging it, there will naturally be magnetic attraction to make the tongue stick to the upper jaw and penetrate the Ren meridian.
The tongue can secrete more saliva when it touches the palate; Saliva was called "pure gold and jade liquid" in ancient times, which can bring chemical protection to teeth. Amylase contained in saliva can help digestion, resist bacteria and clean the mouth. It has the functions of anti-inflammation, promoting digestion, antivirus, autoimmunity and activating antibacterial cell activity.
Touching the palate with my tongue has given me many benefits and made me fall in love with it deeply. Now I not only "touch my tongue" when I don't talk during the day, but also "touch my tongue" before going to bed at night, so that it can accompany me all the time, thus making my body healthier every day. I hope my friends will like it.
Chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid, invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney
Although many people wash their faces cleanly, they seem to be covered with dust from a distance. This is what Chinese medicine calls a dull complexion, and the reason is that the essence and kidney essence are insufficient. Therefore, beauty is not superficial. Only when the viscera are peaceful, the qi and blood are even, the meridians are unobstructed, and the vitality and kidney essence are abundant can the complexion be moist and bright from the inside out, and the skin will naturally become delicate and smooth.
The health care method of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid is an enduring fitness technique in ancient times, and almost any health care monograph will be included, which shows the importance and practical value of this method in ancient times. The author once visited an old Chinese doctor, who was over 70 years old and was still climbing the mountain with flying feet. Many young people accompanied were panting and exhausted, while the old man was talking and laughing without any fatigue. His face is bright and subtle, and he sounds like Hong Zhong. When he asked about the way of keeping in good health, he replied, "bite your teeth and swallow your saliva." When walking with the old man, I often hear the sound of "thump" next to me.
Now the methods of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid are introduced as follows:
The method of "chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid" is one of the important health preserving techniques in traditional Chinese medicine. The ancients believed that good teeth made people healthy, and health made people live longer.
According to documents, Tao Hongjing, a doctor in Liang Wudi, was over 80 years old, with firm teeth and good health 1400 years ago. His main fitness method is percussion. He believes that "teeth are bones and muscles", and knocking on teeth will make him strong and refreshed. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, advocated "getting up 300 times in the morning". In the Ming Dynasty, there was a long-lived man named Leng Qian, who lived 150 years old. His longevity experience is: "wake up every morning and knock your teeth 36 times." Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, also had the habit of chewing his teeth to keep fit. He once said: "After midnight, put on your coat and sit cross-legged and knock your teeth 36 times, you will feel refreshed." Emperor Qianlong was the emperor who reigned for the longest time and lived the longest in Qing Dynasty. One of the secrets of his longevity was "knocking his teeth frequently". There is an old saying: "Get up in the morning and knock your teeth three hundred times, and your teeth will be firm." . As people grow older, the organs of the body gradually move from maturity to aging, and their functions gradually decline, including teeth. For middle-aged and elderly people, dental health is very important and must not be taken lightly.
Essentials of "Chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid for health care"
Click on the teeth
When you wake up in the morning, don't talk about life, calm down and get rid of other thoughts. Relax your whole body, close your lips, unite your mind, and then let your upper and lower teeth beat each other rhythmically, jingling for unlimited times. When you start exercising, you can pat it about 20 times. With the continuous progress of sports, you can gradually increase the number and intensity of knocking teeth, generally 36 times is better. Strength can be measured according to the health of teeth. This is to complete a knock.
Tunjin
From the point of view of TCM health preservation, the "Red Dragon Stirring Tianchi Lake" should be supplemented after percussion, that is, after percussion, the tongue should be stirred against the upper and lower gums and tooth surfaces in the cavity, and the force should be gentle and natural, first up and down, first inside and then outside, stirring for 36 times, which can massage the gums, improve local blood circulation and accelerate the nutritional blood supply of the gums. When you feel that body fluids (saliva) are produced, don't swallow them and continue to stir. When saliva gradually increases, put your tongue on the palate to gather saliva, rinse your cheeks with saliva several times, and finally swallow it slowly in three times.
Time and frequency
The above is a complete "health care method of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluids", and it is better to do it ten times each time, ten times each morning, noon and evening, and it is better to do more. Among them, knocking at the door in the morning is the most important, because people will loosen their teeth after a night's rest. At this time, knocking teeth can not only consolidate gum and periodontal tissue, but also excite dental nerves, blood vessels and dental pulp cells, which is of great benefit to dental health.
Peng Xin, a Chinese medicine practitioner: Chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid can strengthen the spleen and tonify the kidney.
hygiogenesis
From the perspective of western medicine:
Great changes have taken place in the structure of modern food, which makes the chewing function of teeth relatively weakened, so it is more practical to knock teeth frequently. In developed countries in Europe and America, dentists are the most sought-after occupations, where people have clean and healthy teeth. When China people went abroad, ugly and dirty teeth, bad breath and dental diseases became a major symbol. Therefore, while popularizing dental health care treatment, we should often beat our teeth and do a good job in self-care of our teeth. It is generally believed that toothache is not a disease, but the World Health Organization lists dental caries and periodontal diseases that cause toothache as one of the three major chronic non-communicable diseases in the world, and oral health is a big problem related to the health level of all mankind. Modern medicine has confirmed that oral diseases can cause many diseases, such as heart disease and stomach disease, which are all related to periodontitis.
According to the understanding of modern medicine on the study of tooth function, there is dental pulp composed of blood vessels and other tissues in the tooth cavity, which is the nutritional channel of teeth. Nutrients needed by teeth are in the blood. The physiological stimulation generated by knocking teeth can vibrate the pulp and gums, consolidate teeth and periodontal tissues, excite teeth nerves, cells and blood vessels, promote blood circulation of teeth and periodontal tissues, improve the nutrition supply of teeth, enhance the disease resistance and regeneration ability of periodontal tissues, increase the self-cleaning function of teeth, exert the stimulation similar to chewing exercise, improve the resistance of teeth themselves, and make teeth hard, stable, neat and white. Frequent tapping can also maintain and enhance the functions of the masseter muscle and the masseter part of the teeth, so as to keep its fullness within a certain volume, and to some extent alleviate the concave face and flat ribs caused by the physical atrophy of the elderly. Patients who already have dental diseases can also have a good auxiliary treatment effect by knocking their teeth frequently. When you knock your teeth, your mouth and tongue are fully active and your blood circulation is accelerated, which is of great benefit to delaying facial skin aging.
The so-called "body fluid" is the saliva produced after oral activities. Saliva can keep the mouth clean, help to soak and soften food for swallowing, and contains amylase, which has digestive effect on food. Modern medical research has confirmed that saliva contains immunoglobulin, amino acids, various enzymes and vitamins, which can participate in the metabolism, growth and development of the body and enhance immune function.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine:
In the process of chewing teeth, oral saliva increases. Chinese medicine believes that saliva can nourish the five internal organs. Modern medical research has proved that saliva contains many substances related to life activities. Health experts call saliva "golden jade liquid", which, like jingxie, is the material basis of life. Huangdi Neijing said: "Spleen belongs to Tianjin, and kidney belongs to Tianjin". Saliva is closely related to spleen and kidney, which plays an inestimable role in human health and longevity. Li Shizhen believes that saliva has the functions of promoting digestion and absorption, irrigating the internal organs, nourishing yin and reducing fire, promoting fluid production and tonifying kidney, moistening skin and hair, and dredging orifices and collaterals. It is pointed out in "Red Furnace Drinks Snow": "If saliva is swallowed, the heart will turn to blood, the liver will improve eyesight, the spleen will nourish the spirit, the lung will help qi, and the kidney will produce essence, which will naturally cure all diseases."
The health care function of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluids can be summarized as the following aspects:
tonifying spleen
Spleen and stomach are "the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the source of qi and blood biochemistry." "All diseases are caused by spleen and stomach failure" (Li Dongtan's spleen and stomach theory? Spleen and stomach ascending and descending theory). Knocking teeth can strengthen the spleen and stomach from two aspects: First, knocking teeth can strengthen teeth. Teeth are healthy, food is easy to chew, and the burden on the stomach is reduced, thus nourishing the stomach; Second, the spleen's "body fluid" and the stomach's exterior and interior, the body fluid in the mouth is a light and thin part of saliva, which helps food digestion. Biting teeth produces saliva, which helps the stomach "break down water (food and drink)" and the spleen "transport and clean up" (turning Shui Gu into a delicate substance and "irrigating the whole body", dispersing the whole body), reducing the burden on the spleen and stomach, and achieving the purpose of strengthening the spleen and stomach.
tonify the kidney
Kidney is the "innate foundation" and the source of life. There are two mechanisms for tapping teeth to strengthen the kidney: one is that "teeth are the standard of kidney" ("The source of miscellaneous diseases is rhinoceros candle?" The origin of mouth, mouth, lips and tongue diseases is nourished by the essence in the kidney. If the kidney is full of essence, the teeth will be strong and not easy to fall off; Insufficient essence in the kidney, teeth are easy to loosen, and even fall off early. Whether teeth are healthy or not is one of the signs of kidney health. Tapping teeth can strengthen teeth and replenish kidney essence, so it can strengthen the kidney. Second, the kidney is "saliva in body fluid", and the saliva in the mouth is the thicker part of saliva. Knocking teeth to produce fluid is called the "golden law", also known as "jade liquid". The "liquid" is transformed from kidney essence through essence, so it can nourish kidney essence without vomiting, so it can tonify kidney.
Strengthen bones and brains.
Kidney dominates bone, and "tooth is bone". Teeth and bones are homologous and nourished by kidney essence. Tapping teeth can strengthen kidney, replenish kidney essence, benefit bone, and make bones strong, so they can strengthen bones. "Su Wen? The theory of yin and yang should be like this: "Kidney produces marrow", and the brain is the marrow sea. If the kidney is full of essence, the marrow sea will be nourished and the brain will develop well, so that its function of "intellectual house" can be fully exerted; On the other hand, kidney essence is insufficient, marrow sea is insufficient, and nutrition is lost. Chewing teeth can tonify the kidney and make the essence in the kidney full, so it can strengthen the brain.
Hear and see clearly.
"The coffin? The pulse says, "Kidney qi leads to the ear, while kidney harmony leads to five tones." The kidney essence is full and the marrow sea nourishes, so the ears are bright and the eyes are clear; Deficiency of kidney essence, malnutrition in medullary sea, tinnitus and even deafness. And "the kidney is hidden in the essence of the five internal organs" ("Su Wen? Ancient naive theory ")," the essence of the five internal organs, all note in the eye "("coffin? The theory of great confusion), when the essence is full, the eyes can distinguish five colors. Tapping teeth can fill kidney essence, so it can be smart and clear.
Beauty rongfa
Tapping teeth can activate facial muscles, strengthen facial blood circulation, improve facial skin nutrition, and then beautify the face. The growth of hair depends on Xue Jing. When Xue Jing is full, her hair is long and shiny. When blood essence fails, it will fade and fall off. Kidney stores essence, "its flowers are in hair", and knocking teeth can make kidney essence full and vigorous.
Instructions for diabetic patients
In the view of Chinese medicine, diabetic patients are mainly yin deficiency and essence deficiency, which leads to "upper, middle and lower three elimination". If the health care method of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid is persistent, the "body fluid" produced can irrigate the five internal organs from top to bottom. Body fluid moistens the heart and lungs of the upper energizer, making people feel unwilling to drink more, that is, after the produced body fluid moistens the deficiency fire and dry fire of the heart and lungs, the symptoms of diabetic patients "thirst for drinking, but not quenching thirst" will disappear; Moistening the middle energizer with body fluid will make people's appetite normal, that is, after the produced body fluid moistens the spleen and stomach of the middle energizer, the hyperactive internal heat in the stomach will naturally subside, and the abnormal manifestations of diabetes belonging to the "middle energizer" type will gradually disappear; Tapping itself can strengthen teeth. When the teeth are outside the kidney, frequent percussion can enhance kidney qi, and at the same time, the produced body fluid can moisturize kidney yin. Diabetic patients' feelings of "middle age" and "excessive urine, backache and fatigue" will gradually disappear and kidney qi will gradually fill up. It can be seen that the method of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid can regulate the upper, middle and lower triple energizer, replenish yin essence and strengthen kidney qi, which is the best choice for daily health care of diabetic patients.
In short, "everything stays healthy, don't talk yet." Tooth is an important organ of human body, which undertakes the important task of protecting digestive tract. Ancient health care experts attached great importance to tooth protection and summarized many methods about tooth fixation and health care. Among them, "chewing teeth" and "swallowing saliva" are two important items. Frequent knocking on teeth can tonify kidney, stabilize essence, balance yin and yang, dredge qi and blood, dredge meridians, and thus enhance health. Modern medical research has confirmed that knocking teeth can produce physiological stimulation to periodontal tissue, promote blood circulation of periodontal tissue, excite dental nerve and dental pulp cells, enhance the disease resistance and regeneration ability of periodontal tissue, and make teeth hard, stable, neat and white.
