I have a patient, an old lady, who just told me, "I often have palpitations during the day, and I can jump to 90 times, which is very uncomfortable." But wearing a bracelet bought by a child at night, it actually fell below 50 times at night. It's easy to stop my heart, and I'm scared. What should I do if the night passes? " .
If we judge whether this situation can be adjusted by acupoint self-care, we will give you a standard:
If there is no organic problem, it is only a functional problem, which is called autonomic nervous system abnormality. Our heart is particularly vulnerable to the influence of autonomic nervous system, because there are many such autonomic nerve plexus around the heart and the roots near blood vessels. These nerve plexuses that regulate the heart are often controlled by two kinds of autonomic nerves, one is called sympathetic nerve and the other is called parasympathetic nerve.
Sympathetic nerve is the acceleration of heart rate and vasoconstriction, and parasympathetic nerve is the deceleration of heart rate and vasodilation, so there is a pair of antagonistic nervous systems between them. If the heart has no organic problems, it is normal, but there is something wrong with the autonomic nervous system that regulates this organ. This can be completely adjusted by some self-care methods.
An abnormal change of heart rhythm, Neiguan point also has a very good effect, and the strange effect of Neiguan point makes us very surprised. It can not only increase the heart rate, but also decrease the heart rate, which is a balance of heart rate.
Some friends often say that acupoints are intelligent and have a benign two-way adjustment function. In fact, not all acupoints have benign two-way adjustment, but some acupoints have such biological basis and can have such two-way benign adjustment. Neiguan point is one of them, and it is a very important point.
Ludwig, the founder of modern physiology, discovered "somatic visceral sympathetic reflex". Simply put, the surface of our body will receive all kinds of stimuli, which can be introduced. In fact, our internal organs are also feeling various stimuli, such as gastrointestinal peristalsis, and they are all feeling the stimulation of food on the intestinal wall. These visceral stimuli and physical stimuli are introduced into our spinal cord, where they meet neurons and the information between them is transmitted. When we stimulate the outside, there will be some changes inside; When there are some specific changes in our body, the outside world will also feel this information and produce some specific reactions. Isn't this a special bridge between inside and outside?
The above picture shows the nerve reflex pathway related to Neiguan point regulating heart function. In this way, we can clearly see that the ganglion segment that dominates the heart and the skin segment that dominates the inner part of the upper limb are fused with each other in the spinal cord, and the inner part of the upper limb is exactly the distribution range of the pericardium meridian of the hand-jueyin.
When we stimulate this part of Neiguan point, this information can finally regulate our heart function through this nerve reflex pathway, which is the basis for Neiguan point to regulate two different situations, namely, fast heart rate and slow heart rate, which are collectively called "arrhythmia".
So how to stimulate?
We use a small pressing needle to bury it in the skin, and the position of Neiguan point, or the method of rubbing it at this position, can play a certain regulatory role.
Cheng Kai said: Acupoints can raise and lower the heart rate.
