The following are the health preserving methods commonly used in the practice of Five Tangmen in Taoism. Persisting in practice will produce miraculous effects, which will not only help to practice martial arts, but also prolong life. I hope it will help everyone.
The first method: avoid the cold.
The senior teacher said:? Hot success, cold treatment? . After practicing martial arts, the whole body sweats and naturally emits heat, which is normal and inevitable. Don't catch cold after it stops. Warm up suddenly caught a cold and got sick. People who practice hard work such as iron sand palms and iron arms should not touch cold water or cool places (palms should not touch cold water, stones, iron pipes and other cool things) within one hour after they stop working, otherwise their kung fu will run out and they will get sick. Therefore, practitioners should first avoid the cold and know how to keep warm.
The second method: sweat preservation method
After practicing sweating, don't wash with cold water or blow with cold air, but know how to keep sweating. After sweating, you should wipe the sweat with a dry towel. Don't suddenly jump into cold water to get cold. Don't blow with an electric fan. Sweat pores open and suddenly close when they are cold, and the residual poison of sweat accumulates under the skin, which makes them ill for a long time. Continue to sweat after sweating, not only do not take off your clothes, but put on your clothes. After sweating all over, scrub your body with a hot towel. The above is the sweat-nourishing method.
The third method: drinking water method
The human body is composed of water, and a lot of water will be lost after sweating, so it should be replenished in time, but if you drink a lot of water immediately after sweating, it will become a disease. The correct way is to drink a cup of cold boiled water prepared the night before practice in the morning to make up for the dehydration of the body overnight. It's best to drink a cup of warm water before practicing at night. It is not advisable to drink water immediately after sweating, and then drink a small amount of half a cup to one cup after sweating.
The fourth method: fog solution
Don't practice in foggy weather, and try not to go out. Because fog is toxic and turbid, it is very harmful to human body. In this weather, you should know how to eliminate fog and prevent gas. Its method is: whenever there is fog, you should drink three mouthfuls of wine, that is, three small cups of white wine, which can relieve fog poison and gas poison. One glass of wine can also be effective, but three glasses are the best.
The fifth method: windproof method
After practicing sweating, don't blow your body with cold air and don't face the electric fan. Wind is like an arrow, preventing wind poison from invading the body. Don't stay in the shade, don't stand in the wind at the door, or you will get sick. Rheumatism is mostly caused by stroke poison, and people who practice martial arts must be windproof.
The sixth method: fatigue relief method
After practice, if you are tired, you can relieve it by tapping the body acupuncture points. The first is to dig the shoulder well point. The right palm pats the left shoulder well point and the left palm pats the right shoulder well point, and the hands are crossed at the same time, 36 times each; The second is to cut Zusanli point. At the same time, the palm hit the legs Li 3.36 times; The third is to tap Yongquan point in the foot. The right palm hits the left foot 36 times, and the left palm hits the right foot 36 times. After practicing the above three methods, the whole body can relax, which can not only relieve fatigue, but also live a long and healthy life.
Seventh method: kidney protection method
Practicing martial arts is mainly to protect kidney and strengthen yang, with the aim of prolonging life. There are many ways to strengthen yang and protect kidney. Now there are two ways as follows. First, foot washing method: After practicing every day or before going to bed, wash your feet with hot water for about 10 minutes, and then rub your feet with a sword 36 times. The left hand points at Yongquan point on the right foot, and the right point is the same as the left. The second is to rub Shenshu point. This point is at the waist and eyes. Stand facing south, with your feet shoulder-width apart, and step left and right to relax yourself. Put your palms and fingers together behind your waist, palms outward and palms inward. Rub the Shenshu points on both sides with both hands up and down, once up and down, a total of 8 1 time. Sticking to the above three methods every day can cure kidney deficiency and have the miraculous effect of aphrodisiac.
Eighth method: detoxification method
People who practice martial arts will accumulate some toxins, poisonous gas and turbid gas in the body for a long time, and they should be excreted in time to achieve the purpose of eliminating turbidity and keeping clear, and being healthy physically and mentally. The method is: after practicing every day, sit quietly, face south, relax all over, sit with your legs crossed, with your left leg outside and your right leg inside. Put your hands on your knees, palms down, eyes slightly closed, tongue on the palate, breathe naturally, eliminate distractions, and sit still for about ten minutes, preferably thirty minutes. Then, open your eyes, spread your legs, raise your hands and put them on your knees. My eyes looked at my toes, and the tip of my tongue was put down to drive away the turbidity. I thought the poisonous gas, sick gas and polluted gas in my body would flow out from my feet. Stay at Yongquan point for five to ten minutes, and the turbid gas in the body can be exhausted. When collecting works, you can put your hands on your face and rub them up and down, or pat all parts of your body with your hands before collecting works.
