Leg therapy is a safe, simple and effective Chinese medicine therapy. There are more than 60 acupoints on the calf and nearly 70 reflex zones on the foot. Massage these acupoints and reflex zones, just like massaging internal organs. Bathing these acupoints and reflex zones with drugs is just like bathing internal organs. Drugs can directly enter the body through legs and feet, which can avoid the harm of its toxic and side effects to the body.
1. Once you feel low back pain, please see a doctor in time, find out the cause of low back pain through the doctor's examination, and actively cooperate with the treatment.
2. When the symptoms of low back pain have improved, functional exercise can be considered to strengthen the strength of back muscles. Don't exercise when paying attention to low back pain. Exercise should be gradual, not too hasty. It is a good idea to "owe a little" and do it less once or twice at a time when physical conditions permit.
3. When lifting heavy objects, you must kneel down, hold things with your hands, and then keep your upper body upright and your lower limbs raised. Never bend down to get up. In addition, don't twist your upper body in place after lifting heavy objects.
4. If you are diagnosed with lumbar lesions, don't wear waist protectors for a long time, and generally sleep on a hard bed. Acute lumbar sprain and acute lumbar disc herniation can be used when the waist is weak, but the use time should not exceed one month. Wearing waist protector for a long time will reduce the use of waist muscles and lead to disuse atrophy of waist muscles. Once the waist protector is not used, it is easy to sprain the waist.
The secret recipe of leg therapy for lumbar disc herniation
(A) tonic liver and kidney, strong bones and muscles
Medicine: Radix Dipsaci, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, Herba Artemisiae Anomalae, Herba Taxilli and Radix Astragali each 30g.
Acupoints: Taixi, Kunlun, Zutonggu and Shugu.
Chinese medicine believes that it is precisely because of the deficiency of liver and kidney that the bones and muscles are malnourished. In view of this fundamental reason, we chose the above method.
Taxilli is the leafy stems and branches of evergreen small shrub plants Taxilli and Viscum. The former is mainly produced in Guangdong and Guangxi, while the latter is mainly produced in Hebei, Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and Henan. Harvest from winter to the following spring, remove thick stems, cut into sections, dry in the sun, or steam dry for raw use.
Mulberry parasitic in the wilderness, standing in the wind, growing in the rain, although day after day, year after year, but because its appearance is not strange, there is no attractive smell, so it has not been noticed by people. According to legend, it was discovered by a farmer by accident. Here's a little story:
The farmer's surname is Ji, and he has been farming in the Yellow River valley for generations. Because of hard work and cold, his back and legs hurt when he was old, but his family was poor and had no money for treatment, and he almost lost his ability to work.
One day, after working in the field, Jisheng had no strength to go home. His heart was crossed, and he said that he might as well die in weeds, so he lived among mulberry trees with vines. When he woke up, it was already the setting sun. He only felt sweaty and his limbs stretched out, and the pain in his waist and legs for many years was obviously relieved. After he finished his work, he would lie on these messy vines and rest. Over time, his back and leg pain not only fully recovered, but also had the strength to work. The story soon spread among the neighbors, and many people with low back and leg pains came to see him. Some of them used this method, some used it flexibly, and collected rattan soup to drink, all of which achieved good results. Later, in memory of its discoverer, people called this vine "Jisheng". Because most of this vine is parasitic on mulberry trees, later generations simply call it "mulberry parasitism".
Mulberry mistletoe tastes bitter, sweet and flat, and enters liver and kidney meridians. Studies have found that it can dispel wind and dampness, nourish liver and kidney, strengthen bones and muscles, nourish blood and prevent miscarriage.
In addition, let's introduce these acupoints:

Foot-to-valley: acupoints are selected at the lateral side of the little toe, at the front end of this joint of the little toe, and at the depression below the front of the joint of the fifth toe. The operation method is to press the thumb pulp on the Tonggu point, hold the top of the index finger under the seam of the fifth toe of the sole of the foot, and knead the thumb clockwise, from light to heavy, and repeat several times. Generally, after 5 minutes, symptoms can be relieved.

Yangfei point is the main point of bladder meridian, 7 inches above Kunlun point and below Chengshan point 1 inch. Flying is "overbearing" flying, which has several meanings: First, it floats upward, which is upward. This means that at this time, people can stand up in pain, feel refreshed and walk like flies. Secondly, when we are sprinting or squatting to prepare for take-off, this point stretches the muscle tendon to prepare for launching elasticity. Third, the amount of bladder meridian, from the Economic Commission to the Central Committee, reaches the mountain, just like the water in a waterfall. After flying straight down into a mountain, it accumulates in this cave below the mountain and tends to fly. This point has a good effect on low back and leg pain. Acupuncture or rubbing Yangfei point can relieve waist muscle spasm and has the function of promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. Acupoint selection: sit upright and hang your feet, behind the calf, outside and below Chengshan point, and take the point 7 inches above Kunlun. When operating, press and rub the bilateral Yangfei points with the index finger or middle finger of both hands for about 1 ~ 2 minutes, which is suitable for feeling sore.

Let's talk about Fuliu point again: Fuliu point is an important point for tonifying kidney and replenishing essence. Low back pain caused by the pathological changes of foot-shaoyin meridian has more deficiency syndrome than excess syndrome, so re-sliding can dredge the qi inversion of foot-shaoyin meridian and relieve waist pain. It is located on the inside of the calf, 2 inches above Taixi and in front of the achilles tendon. You can massage with your thumb, and the massage intensity should be appropriate, and the time is about 1 minute.
(3) expelling wind and cold, eliminating dampness and relieving pain
Medicine: 50 grams of ephedra, 50 grams of cassia twig and 30 grams of aconite.
Acupoints: Jincheng, Chengshan, Yangfei and Yinlingquan.
Lumbago will get worse in rainy days, which is caused by wind, cold and dampness invading the human body. Therefore, on the basis of nourishing liver and kidney, we should also remove pathogenic wind, cold and dampness.
The purpose of this treatment is to dispel dampness and cold, and emphasize the role of sweating. So we added some drugs to the medicated bath, such as aconite and cassia twig. It is worth mentioning that aconite is very toxic, showing numbness of mouth, lips and tongue, numbness of limbs, nausea and vomiting, restlessness, coma, and muscle spasm of limbs and neck. Radix Aconiti Lateralis can dispel cold, tonify yang, and eliminate dampness. Its nature is good for the twelve meridians, reaching to the skin and bone, and it has great power to dispel cold. Modern pharmacological research shows that it has strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
