Chinese medicine believes that the liver stores blood. In other words, the liver is the place where qi and blood gather. If the liver is malnourished and the qi and blood are insufficient, the human body can't fill it, and the immunity decreases. Thyroid nodules, breast nodules, uterine fibroids, joint pain and other diseases are constantly coming to you. Even some people will turn black because of liver blood deficiency, and so on.
Modern people have some liver problems more or less because of staying up late, improper diet and lack of exercise. So today, I will share with you a muscle-rubbing health exercise:
Knead "tendons" and nourish liver qi
Huangdi Neijing said: "The liver is filled with tendons; Liver qi is failing, and the muscles cannot move. " Therefore, observing the appearance of "tendons" can help us to judge the state of liver qi, and sticking to rubbing "tendons" can nourish and protect the liver.
"The tendons in the sky are hidden in the eyes, and the tendons in the ground are hidden in the feet." The tendon is in the eye, and the average person can't exercise at all; We can find the tendon hidden under the soles of our feet and use it to keep healthy.
Tendons are the tendons of our soles.
How to find tendon? Sit down in a comfortable posture, put your right foot on your left leg, bend your toes upward as far as possible, straighten your feet, face yourself, and point your toes upward, and you will find a hard rib on your feet.
Massage method: Push, knead and stir with your thumb along the tendon to your toes. Kneading will have a magical effect. It hurts a little at first, but don't worry, it's a sign of tendon opening, and so is the left foot. Push 10 to 15 minutes every day.
The method of kneading tendons is simple and has no special requirements. After soaking feet in hot water before going to bed, press 15 minutes with your thumb and massage your left and right feet once a day.
In addition to rubbing, you can also pat with your palm fingers (four fingers together) or push back with a comb, which is called pushing the ground.
When an office worker uses a computer, he can put one foot on the ground, with four toes protruding from the tendon, and the heel or big toe of the other foot can push the tendon; Walking on tiptoe and landing on five toes is also a good way to tie the tendons.
After three weeks, all the above methods can soften tendons and improve the metabolism, hematopoiesis and detoxification functions of the liver.
Kneading tendons is a magic weapon for health preservation, which can clear liver and purge fire and nourish liver qi. You can also eat some litchi in your daily life. Litchi enters the heart, spleen and liver meridians, which has a good effect on enhancing energy and blood circulation. However, we often say that a handful of litchi has three fires, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much.
It is normal for some people to fart and burp in the process of kneading tendons, because kneading tendons can make clear qi rise and turbid qi fall. After farting and burping, my heart will be very comfortable and my body will be very relaxed.
Who is suitable for rubbing tendons?
Usually, the more violent a person is, the harder this tendon is. Press it with your thumb, like a rope. This tendon is necessary for anyone with liver disease.
If you think this tendon is weak and can't afford to collapse, this kind of person is generally deficient in liver qi, but needs to be rubbed out.
Also, although this tendon is very thick, it feels nothing when rubbed, and it is not tough, like hemp rope, which is more common in elderly men. This kind of people are usually grumpy and have a strong liver function when they were young. However, due to various reasons such as alcoholism, house fatigue and anxiety, they are now weak in liver qi and need to rub this tendon frequently.
Kneeling, nourishing tendons and liver.
If you walk on your knees on a soft bed or carpet, blood will flow to your knees continuously. Because of the support of fresh blood, the cold can be dissipated, the effusion can be eliminated, and the swelling and pain can be turned into something.
For 20 minutes every day, if you have pain in your knees, try to soften the ground at first, or hold the wall with your hands to reduce the load on your knees and exercise your knees slowly. If you can't move forward, just stand still.
When you walk on your knees, you will find that your waist is also twisting and your kidneys are being replenished. It's hard to do this when walking.
This action can make qi and blood fill the knees and achieve the purpose of igniting fire. At the same time, blood circulation will also increase during activities, which can also promote the circulation of qi and blood and achieve the purpose of nourishing the liver.
When walking on one's knees, qi and blood will be led to the knees first, and problems such as knee chills, knee pain and clicking will be improved. Gradually, the hands and feet are cold, and the upper heat is cold, which has also been improved.
It doesn't cost a penny, regardless of physical fitness. As long as you often adjust the "ground tendons" under your feet, your strength will flow.
Rubbing two acupoints has a good effect of relaxing muscles and activating collaterals.
Yanglingquan point is a "tendon meeting", which is often moved here to relax tendons; There is a "tendon contraction" on the back du meridian, and we use the palm root to push and knead to stretch the tendon.
Everyone should remember that the best conditioning of the liver is to rub the tendons. All diseases related to trembling, convulsions, dizziness and depression are generally related to the liver.
