Learned, you can solve most common small problems by yourself.

A few days ago, my friend lamented: "People have been around hospitals all their lives. 」

Who says not? Life is fragile and people are prone to get sick. Without medical knowledge, even a small cold may have to go to the hospital to get better.

But now life is very stressful, everyone is very busy, and many people have minor illnesses and pains, so they can't find time to see them. If they put up with this, they may develop into serious diseases.

If you can master some TCM health skills and adjust yourself when you feel unwell, you can actually save a lot of money and time spent in the hospital.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the three methods of scraping, cupping and moxibustion are not high in threshold, simple and easy to learn, and have a wide range of applications, such as heavy moisture, excessive phlegm, blood stasis in the body, infirmity, yin-yang imbalance and so on. It can be adjusted, so it is more suitable for public medical care.

These three methods have their own merits, but the ultimate goal is only one, which is to restore the smoothness of meridians, promote the circulation of qi and blood, and maintain the harmony and health of the body.

Scraping-the first choice for expelling cold and toxin

Scraping is a method of thinking from the perspective of human body, which stimulates the meridian qi and blood, makes the healthy qi in the body active, and removes the evil spirits (garbage) in the body, thus promoting the smooth flow of meridians and restoring the function of viscera.

Many friends curettage for lymph node tuberculosis, which is very powerful and painful. In fact, reasonable scraping is painless, not scraped by doctors, but automatically cleaned by the human body after the patient's own qi and blood are activated.

Whether it can break out depends on two conditions.

The first condition is that the lesion is located on the muscle surface.

For example, when you are cold, you start sneezing, clearing your nose, and you are a little afraid of the cold. This shows that the cold has just invaded your body. At this time, scrape the Du meridian at the back of your neck and the bladder meridian on both sides (the first barrier of your body) from top to bottom, and most people will get a rash and your physical symptoms will disappear.

If you miss this opportunity, you may soon have fever, cough, sore throat, headache and other symptoms. At this time, it is difficult to scrape the Du meridian and bladder meridian on both sides, because exogenous pathogens enter from the muscle surface.

The second condition is that healthy qi must be sufficient.

We gently scrape the part to guide the healthy qi to be active. If there is enough energy, the instinct of the body will find that there is so much garbage in the body, and the righteousness will clean up the evil spirits.

If scraping meets these two conditions, you can clean up the garbage in your body.

Many people mistakenly think that it is scraped. In fact, the essence of scraping is to guide qi and blood, and whether it happens or not is determined by the body.

Good health will not lead to malnutrition, and lack of healthy qi will not lead to malnutrition. Of course, getting rid of the garbage in the body is not necessarily a bad thing, it is much better than making trouble in the body.

Scraping tools and techniques

Tools:

1, scraping plate, round spoon

Since the primary purpose of scraping is to guide healthy qi through scraping, the requirements for tools should not be too high, as long as the edges are rounded.

So there is no need to entangle the material of the scraping board. Unless it is a special case such as high fever, you should choose a scraping board with more energy.

2. When scraping, apply lubricating medium first.

In order to avoid damaging the skin when scraping, such as special scraping oil, moisturizing oil, olive oil and vegetable oil in the kitchen can also be used temporarily, or even clean water.

Operation:

1, hand-held scraping device, inclined at 45 degrees, along the meridians, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, scraping 3 cm at a time, scraping 10-20 times until the scraped image remains unchanged, and then scraping downwards until it can't be scraped out.

2. When scraping local acupoints, fix them slightly and scrape them repeatedly in the same direction.

What kind of person is not suitable for scraping?

Not suitable for people with weak heart function, patients with skin diseases, pregnant women and cancer patients. People with thrombocytopenia, purpura and hypertension should be judged by professional doctors and operated by professional doctors. Be careful when operating at home.

Most diseases

Can be conditioned by cupping.

If there is no scraping, cupping can be used to deeply remove blood stasis and detoxify. If you are usually weak-healthy qi is weak, and you can't scrape when scraping, it is likely that the disease is not on the muscle surface, but deeper. At this time, you can choose cupping.

Cupping has the functions of removing blood stasis, accelerating blood flow, discharging garbage in the body and clearing cold out of the body.

For example, long-term cervical spondylosis, stiff shoulders and backs, if there is no response after scraping for half an hour, it means that the condition is deep and qi and blood cannot be mobilized.

At this time, after cupping at Tianzong and Jianjing points on both sides of the back for 15 minutes, deep purple pot marks may appear (it may be that the first cupping does not respond, and the color of the pot marks will change the next day, or it may be that the color of the pot marks will change after several days of continuous cupping), but if you persist, the cervical spine will be much more comfortable.

In my experience, cupping is very effective in conditioning cervical spine problems, so give it a try.

In addition to cervical vertebra problems, cupping can also regulate many chronic problems.

Once, after my mother recovered from a cold, she coughed the next morning. I opened a two-finger-wide "Shu Fei" cupping at the third thoracic vertebra (the inner corner of the flat scapula) on her back, and left the cupping for ten minutes without any cupping trace.

Pull it out at night, the color turns dark and red, and pull it out the next morning, the color is purple and dark, and the cough is relieved. On the third morning, I pulled it out again, resulting in dense blisters and the cough disappeared.

On the fourth day, I continued to pull it out. Some blisters were broken and some red blood flowed, so I dipped it in dry cotton balls.

On the fifth day, it was pulled out again, and a few drops of blood oozed out, indicating that the local acupoints returned to normal. After that, the broken skin quickly scabbed, and now there is no change in the local skin.

Why do the elderly have such a reaction? A few years ago, my mother coughed up phlegm with bloodshot blood in the morning, and it seems to be better after syndrome differentiation and meridian conditioning with drugs. And use the "Shufei point" after this cold to thoroughly clean up the residual garbage.

Virtual cupping is most suitable for the operation at "Back Shu Point" on both sides of the back. Beishu point is a communication channel between viscera and the outside world. If it is a chronic problem of viscera, cupping at the corresponding Beishu point can enhance the function of viscera.

Usually cupping should not exceed four cans.

When cupping is used to recuperate yourself and your family, it is recommended not to exceed four cans at a time, and there is no need to pull the whole body in groups to avoid unnecessary consumption of qi and blood. You know, accurate operation on the required acupoints is an effective and reasonable conditioning method.

It is recommended that you use a gas tank, which is simple to operate, does not need an open flame and has low risk. During normal operation, air is pumped three times with an air gun, leaving the tank once a day for 10- 15 minutes until the tank mark disappears.

It's good to bubble after cupping.

Some people have full pancreas and high humidity, and blisters may appear after cupping, which is a good thing and a manifestation of dehumidification in the body.

If the blisters are obvious, numerous and white, it is cold and wet; If the blisters are not obvious, the number is small, and the color is yellowish or turbid, it is damp and hot. Blisters are small and dense, and can be pulled out without treatment; The blisters are big and need to be punctured, disinfected with iodine and coated with purple liquid medicine.

Female friends should not pull out during menstruation (unless irregular menstruation is adjusted). For some heat syndrome and excess syndrome, it is necessary to draw blood by cupping and ask a professional doctor to operate.

Long-term weakness, puffiness, cold and dampness,

Remove it with moxibustion.

What problems can moxibustion adjust?

Many friends know a lot of health knowledge, and sometimes someone blurts out: moxibustion!

Nowadays, people eat a fat and sweet diet, like to eat a lot of cold drinks and anti-season fruits, and stay up late.

Long-term use of air conditioners and fans in summer, such living habits lead to more and more people with heavier cold and humidity and poor physical resistance.

Many people get angry easily (sore mouth and tongue, sore throat, etc.). What's more, they have symptoms such as high blood pressure, weak body heat and cold hands and feet. In Chinese medicine, this is a typical yang deficiency (weakness of yang).

As Mr. Li Kelao, a famous Chinese medicine practitioner, once said: "Nine times out of ten, people with yang deficiency; Yin deficiency, see one in every hundred. Moxibustion is a good way to recuperate yang deficiency.

What is moxibustion? It is a method that moxa sticks and moxa sticks are used to warm acupuncture points by direct moxibustion or hanging moxibustion, and with the penetration of heat, the blood circulation of meridians is accelerated and health is restored.

Therefore, moxibustion is especially suitable for deficiency syndrome, cold syndrome and blood stasis syndrome.

How to moxibustion?

When you give yourself or your family moxibustion at home, it is convenient to hang moxa sticks and hold the moxa sticks. The index finger and middle finger of the other hand are placed on both sides of the acupoints, and the head of the moxa sticks is close to the acupoints, so it is appropriate to feel warm and comfortable at the moxibustion site.

Matters needing attention in moxibustion

When giving moxibustion to yourself or your family, you must be comfortable and don't face any vents.

Blisters may appear after moxibustion, which is a sign of wet water. Blisters can be dried naturally or punctured for disinfection. Some people's bodies are cold and their perception is reduced. Pay attention to avoid scalding during moxibustion.

The time of each moxibustion should be based on the body feeling, such as abdominal acupoint moxibustion. After moxibustion, the whole abdomen should be warm and comfortable, and it should go straight to the depths.

If you have lower toothache after moxibustion, you can press the easy-to-block points of the large intestine meridian (Shousanli, Quchi and Hegu) on the same side as the painful part; For upper toothache, you can press the points (Buccal, Zusanli, Fenglong and Neiting) that are easy to block in the stomach meridian on the same side.

The meridians are unobstructed, the viscera are peaceful and the body is harmonious. This is the ultimate goal of scraping, cupping and moxibustion.
