(1) the drum. "Six Books on Hejian": "Closing your ears with your hands, like drums, is called drums. Pulse qi prevails, and it is closed in the ear, but it cannot be vented and rushed into the ear. So I heard it. "

That is, teeth. The origin of miscellaneous diseases: the origin of diseases of rhinoceros, candle, mouth, lips and tongue: the book of nourishing nature says: ... knocking on the central tooth, the name is Gutian. "

"Ming Gu Tian" is a self-massage health care method with a long history in China, which means hitting Gu Tian. This method was first seen in Qiu Chuji's "Shen Yi Ji". The original book describes that "covering your ears with your hands, that is, pressing your ears with your middle finger, and making a sound with your middle finger behind your head, is called knocking on the Tiangu drum (to eliminate evil spirits in the wind pool)". The practice of "singing drums" is recorded in Six Books of Hejian, General Record of Promoting Muscle, Essentials of Aging and Sixteen Appropriate Health Preservation. This method is also used for "Ba Duan Jin" and "Yijinjing", which are traditional fitness exercises in China. It has also been reported that this method is used to treat ear diseases. This shows its importance and practicality.

Usage: The specific operation method is as follows: press the external auditory canal of both ears tightly with the palms of both hands, and tap the occipital bone of the back of the head with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of both hands respectively, ***60 times. Then press the external auditory canal with the palm of your hand, press the occipital bone tightly with your fingers, and then suddenly lift it away. At this time, there is a shooting sound in your ear, which can be opened and closed for 9 times in a row. Count above 1 time. You can do it three times each time, three times a day.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney opens to the ear and the kidney is full of qi, so the hearing is sensitive; The ear is connected with the brain, and the brain is the marrow sea, which is nourished by the essence of the kidney. Kidney deficiency leads to bone marrow deficiency, which is easy to cause dizziness and tinnitus. Covering your ears and slapping during exercise can stimulate your ears. Therefore, this kind of exercise can achieve the effect of regulating renin, strengthening the body and strengthening the kidney, and has certain preventive and rehabilitation effects on kidney deficiency symptoms such as dizziness, amnesia and tinnitus.

When practicing, the top is required to be straight, which can regulate the human meridian and kidney qi and dredge the Du meridian. Du meridian runs through the spine, belonging to the kidney, which stores essence and is a sea of vitality, which is closely related to human growth and metabolism. Therefore, tonifying kidney qi is conducive to delaying aging and prolonging life.

"Su Wen" said: Therefore, the strength is not good, the kidney gas is damaged, and the high bone is unfavorable. Attention: Enter the room by force.

"Instructions to the Jade Room" shouted loudly: "Don't be conceited, reverse the five internal organs, damage the veins and cause various diseases."

The first thing in life is to control sexual intercourse and protect one's vitality. Otherwise, no matter how rehydration, it can only achieve marginal effect, hurting the kidney and the body, and it is too late to regret it.

First, the principle and function of "Ming Gu Tian"

(1) principle

From the perspective of modern anatomy and physiology, the formation of "drum sound" is closely related to the sound transmission in the ear when the drum rings. Sound waves propagate in the ear in two ways: air transmission and bone transmission. Bone conduction refers to the process that sound waves enter the inner ear through the skull (bone labyrinth). When the airway is blocked (such as diseases of external ear and middle ear), bone conduction can be partially compensated, so there will be no complete deafness.

When practicing, the auricle is completely covered by both hands, and its function of collecting sound waves is greatly weakened, so the air conduction effect of sound waves in the ear is greatly reduced. The conduction of sound is mainly bone conduction, and the forefinger taps on the occipital bone to form sound. Bone conduction is solid sound transmission with good effect. The sound we hear is like a drum.

(2) Function

1. Regulate kidney qi

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney opens to the ear and the kidney is full of qi, so the hearing is sensitive; The ear is connected with the brain, and the brain is the marrow sea, which is nourished by the essence of the kidney. Kidney deficiency leads to bone marrow deficiency, which is easy to cause dizziness and tinnitus. Covering your ears and slapping during exercise can stimulate your ears. Therefore, this kind of exercise can achieve the effect of regulating renin, strengthening the body and strengthening the kidney, and has certain preventive and rehabilitation effects on kidney deficiency symptoms such as dizziness, amnesia and tinnitus.

When practicing, the top is required to be straight, which can regulate the human meridian and kidney qi and dredge the Du meridian. Du meridian runs through the spine and the kidney stores essence, which is a sea of vitality and is closely related to human growth and metabolism. Therefore, tonifying kidney qi is conducive to delaying aging and prolonging life.

Relieve symptoms

When practicing, you should knock on "Jade Pillow", and you can also knock on acupoints such as "Fengchi" and "Naohu" according to the situation. According to the principle of acupuncture, the above three acupoints are important health-care acupoints for human body. Massage and acupuncture can prevent and treat headache, dizziness, neck pain, red-eye pain, tears, sinusitis, nosebleeds, deafness, stroke, mouth-eye deviation and so on. Therefore, practicing "singing drums" can alleviate the above symptoms and improve the health level of practitioners.

3. Enlighten and increase wisdom

Tapping fingers can effectively stimulate peripheral nerves and microcirculation. Modern medical research has found that frequent finger joint movements are closely related to brain health, and frequent finger movements can prevent brain dementia. Many parts of the brain correspond to fingers, and the activities of hand joints can promote the blood circulation of the brain and play an obvious health care role for the brain.

4. Modern clinical application

The health care effect of "Ming Gu Tian" on human body has also been confirmed in modern clinical medicine. According to the report of Chinese and Foreign Health Digest, through the observation of 35 patients with subjective tinnitus, it was found that after 30 days of nursing, most patients' tinnitus was relieved and disappeared. Qingdao Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shandong Province also used "Tian Minggu" combined with acupuncture to treat some patients with neurological deafness, and achieved good results. In addition, the effect of "Ming Gu Tian" in preventing and treating neurasthenia has also been confirmed. Thus, as a traditional health care method, "singing drums" has played a practical role in the prevention and treatment of diseases in modern society.
