"Dry mouth" can be divided into two situations
There is a situation called "dry mouth", which can be solved by drinking water. It is really thirsty. Usually, moderate drinking water will alleviate the problem in this case. This is a manifestation of insufficient vaginal fluid with the accelerated pace of life or the reduction of drinking water, but this deficiency is short-lived, that is, it can be quickly alleviated by timely rehydration. This is normal.
However, there is also a kind of "dry mouth", which always feels dry in the mouth and can not be relieved obviously after drinking water. I kept asking for water to drink, but it didn't relieve me. This situation belongs to a morbid state. This situation is that the human body's vaginal fluid is insufficient, and it is not enough to a certain extent. The transformation and distribution of its own vaginal fluid is abnormal, resulting in insufficient body fluid in this position of the oral cavity. To put it bluntly, this is a manifestation of yin deficiency with heat and burning body fluid.
We often say that the human body is divided into yin and yang, with "Yin" representing the material part of the human body and "Yang" representing the functional part of the human body. The material and functional activities of the human body must be harmonious and unified, but with the growth of age, the maintenance of the body itself is not good enough, such as overwork, excessive tension, sleeping too late and some chronic diseases. , leading to the gradual loss of vaginal fluid in the body.
In such a process, people's functional activities also hope to maintain a relatively vigorous state, so there is a contradiction, that is, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, and functional activities are relatively vigorous, so yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity lead to yin deficiency and fire flourishing, just like virtual fire. We can't throw the virtual fire up, we can only nourish it from below. This fire is naturally restrained, so our treatment should be from below.
Today, I will introduce several acupoints and prescriptions for "dry mouth" caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire. I'll introduce you to three acupoints:
The first acupoint, the so-called therapeutic acupoint, is called Zhao Hai, which is the acupoint of the kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin. The essence of this point, or the nature of the point, is to nourish yin and clear heat, and Zhao Hai is located near our ankles.
We can find the high point of our medial malleolus, which is about 0.4 inch from the medial malleolus to the sole of the foot, that is, hold it with both hands, find the lower edge of the medial malleolus below the medial malleolus, and then go down 0.4 inch. There is an obvious ditch, which is Zhaohai Point. Holding one side of this thumb will make you feel sore.
In the law of action of acupoints, we find that all acupoints near the wrist or ankle have soothing effect on the throat. In addition, this acupoint nourishes yin and clears heat, and kidney yin is also the foundation of yin. Therefore, this acupoint can nourish yin and clear heat, which can moisten the throat and obviously relieve thirst caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire. Since it is a permanent acupoint, it will not be effective immediately. Night is the best time to nourish yin, so I suggest you massage Zhao Hai point at night, massage one side for 5- 10 minutes every night, and then massage the other side for 5- 10 minutes, which is the root cause.
Then there are the acupoints that treat the symptoms. This acupoint for treating the symptoms is an acupuncture point on our players. The throat and mouth are the places where the Taiyin lung meridian of the hand passes, especially the throat.
Many friends are suffering from dryness because of yin deficiency and fire flourishing. This kind of dryness is not a single oral dryness or tongue dryness. Often manifested as dry throat. This dry throat is also due to the Taiyin lung meridian of the hand. You can choose a point on your wrist, which is called Lieque Point.
We open our palms, our jaws are opposite, our wrists are straight, and our forefinger is on the side of our wrists. At this time, the index finger can feel that there is an obvious groove at this position, which is the gap between the two tendons. When you find this position, give your thumbs up and rub it gently in this position. When you rub gently like this, the mouth slowly begins to secrete liquid. We call this liquid body fluid, which is the essence of human vulva. When it starts to moisturize, dry mouth can be relieved. This is a temporary acupoint.
One hand is close to the wrist, the other hand is close to the Taiyin Lung Meridian, and the other hand is at the Zhao Hai point of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian at the ankle. These two acupoints are called "Eight-pulse Intersection Acupoints" and are the most famous pairs of acupoints in ancient China. It is specially used to treat symptoms such as throat, mouth yin deficiency, dryness, itching and pain.
Massage Zhao Hai point at night and Lieque point during the day. These two points alone are not enough. To add, it's a bit like a "drug primer" In traditional Chinese medicine, we often say that there is this medicine to introduce classics, that is, to prescribe a pair of medicine, one of which blindly introduces the medicinal properties of this medicine and goes straight to the affected area.
We also have such acupoints for the introduction of meridians between acupoints. Since it is nourishing yin, moistening dryness and moistening pharynx, such vaginal fluid will reach the throat from bottom to top, so we add the position below the lips, and there is a depression in the middle of the lips. The acupoints in this depression are called bearing paste, which means bearing on it. Plasma is nectar, which refers to the essence of vaginal fluid in our body. If there is dry mouth now, as long as you gently rub it with your index finger on the pith-containing point, the liquid in your mouth will gush out like spring water immediately.
A point pressing the sea can cure the root of the disease, an index of eliminating deficiency point and a point receiving marrow can lead the essence of vaginal fluid in your body up to this position to relieve it quickly, so nourishing yin and clearing heat, promoting fluid production and dredging collaterals can relieve the "dry mouth" caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire.
