The navel is the only acupoint in the human body that can be touched by hand and seen by eyes, and it is called Shenque. Shenque point is a channel for the fetus to get nutrition from the mother before death. During embryonic development, it is directly connected with the abdominal wall. Drugs easily pass through the navel, enter the intercellular substance, and quickly distribute in the blood. Moreover, it has internal relations with the twelve meridians, viscera, limbs, five palaces, bones and muscles, and so on, so it has always been regarded as an important acupoint for treating diseases by physicians. Traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in navel, which can be used for many diseases such as internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics and andrology. For example, it can be used to treat functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, nervous vomiting, hiccup, irritable bowel syndrome and so on. Wugengxie: Fructus Psoraleae, Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata, Semen Myristicae, Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis, etc. can be mixed, ground into fine powder, mixed with vinegar, and pasted on umbilical hole for 7 days as a course of treatment, which can be repeated for 2-3 courses. Hot compress on Shenque point can increase immune function, improve disease resistance and prevent stroke, cancer and other diseases. Usually, you can use a hot water bag to hot compress Shenque point, but the water temperature should not be too high and you can feel warm. You can also rub your hands every night before going to bed, put your palm on the lower left and upper right of your navel, and do a small amount of rubbing counterclockwise, 20~30 times each time, which can also play the role of warming Shenque point. Hiccup: Choose orange peel, Pinellia ternata, pestle, clove, etc. Grinding into fine powder, mixing with ginger juice, and applying to navel for 2-7 days. Stomach pain due to deficiency of spleen and stomach: pepper, dried ginger, Cyperus tuber, etc. You can choose to use yellow wine to make paste for 2-7 days. Children's umbilical application has better effect. Most children are reluctant to take medicine and are afraid of injections, especially babies. However, children's skin is soft, dirty and light, and umbilical application therapy is quick and harmless, so it is widely used in pediatrics, especially in the treatment of digestive system diseases in children. Can be used for treating infantile diarrhea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, etc. You can mix the powder with yellow wine or tea and stick it on your navel 1-2 days, and some even get better within a few hours. Children with enuresis can also apply medicine at navel and Guanyuan point at the same time, which can reduce the number of enuresis. Children who often catch a cold can improve their resistance and reduce the occurrence of colds by bagging them on their navel for a period of time. However, Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment, and diseases are divided into cold, heat, deficiency and excess, that is, infantile diarrhea, such as damp-heat diarrhea, food injury diarrhea, spleen deficiency diarrhea and so on. Therefore, the drugs applied to the umbilicus are different. Therefore, after the symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for treatment, and the specialist will diagnose and choose the medicine, so you can't generalize. In addition, children's skin is delicate and should not be fixed with adhesive plaster to avoid scalding the skin on an empty stomach or applying umbilical Chinese medicine after meals. The operation is very simple: after the navel is cleaned, lie flat, take a proper amount of prepared powder, mix it with ginger juice or yellow wine, honey and vinegar to make a paste, put it into the navel hole, cover it with gauze and fix it with breathable tape. Generally keep 6- 12 hours. Skin sensitive person can shorten the time, and those with good skin tolerance can extend it appropriately, but it is best not to exceed 24 hours, and generally lasts for 2-7 days. People with acute pathological changes, damp heat in the body, navel inflammation or severe skin allergy should not be treated with this method. In addition, it is not advisable to apply Chinese medicine to the navel immediately after an empty stomach or meal. While applying traditional Chinese medicine to navel to treat gastrointestinal diseases, we can't ignore the adjustment of daily diet and mood. Of course, applying traditional Chinese medicine to navel is not a panacea for all diseases, nor can we abandon the treatment aimed at the cause and other mature treatment methods.
