Traditional Chinese medicine believes that massaging health-preserving acupoints on the hands has many benefits for human health. Many people think it's a simple handshake, but it's not. Holding hands is also about methods. First of all, you should pinch the acupuncture points on your hands.

What health acupuncture points do you have on your hand?

Houxi point on the hand is an important point of the small intestine meridian of the hand sun, which leads directly to the Du meridian, and the Du meridian is in charge of the body yang. If the du meridian is unobstructed and the body is full of yang, the spirit is good and the body is good.

Being able to rub Houxi point on your hand every day can dredge Du meridian, tonify the whole body yang, and treat head and neck pain. Dredge the small intestine meridian of the hand and relieve rheumatism. Because the small intestine meridian is connected with the heart meridian, pressing the Houxi point of the hand can indirectly regulate the qi and blood of the heart meridian and relieve symptoms such as mania and depression. Clinically, this point is used to treat diseases such as nervous system and five senses. In this way, the Houxi point on the hand has many health care functions.

Houxi point is located on the side of the little finger and behind the capitulum of the fifth metacarpal bone. When massaging the Houxi point on your hand, first make a fist with your hand, and then press the Houxi point with the fingertip of your other hand, which is slightly stronger and acceptable to you. Press and knead for two minutes each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. Long-term adherence has obvious effects.

The thenar in the hand is also known as the life-saving pill that you carry with you. Chinese medicine believes that when angina pectoris and chest tightness suddenly attack, there is no heart-saving pill to take around, and you can pinch the thenar with your thumb tip. The position of thenar is easy to find. The thumb root on the front of the palm extends to the protruding part of the palm root, that is, thenar. Due to the close relationship between thenar and respiratory organs, there is an urgent chest discomfort, and stimulating thenar can alleviate the discomfort.

You can also massage the thenar of your hand every day, and massage the thenar 15 minutes with your thumb every day, with a little more intensity until the thenar feels sour.

The thenar of hand is not only a sedative, but also a sleeping pill. Some people often wake up at three or four in the morning, and then they can't sleep anyway. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this situation belongs to lung fire, and the heart and lungs pass through the thenar of the hand. Stimulating thenar can dispel the heart and lungs and relieve insomnia. The method is also very simple, just rub the thenar on your hand until it is hot.

In addition, the Taiyuan point of the hand is also an important health point. Palm up, thumb up, and you'll see where the hamstring stands. There is a depression inside Dajin, which is Taiyuan point.

Taiyuan point is the beginning point of lung meridian. There is a saying in Chinese medicine: "Spleen nourishes lung gold". From 9: 00 am to 1 1 am, the spleen meridian is in season. Massage Taiyuan point can replenish qi and blood, spread lung qi, and improve weakness, deficiency of qi and blood, pallor and other problems caused by spleen and stomach problems. Especially in autumn, massage on Taiyuan point on the hand for a period of time has a very obvious effect.

When you press Taiyuan point with your hand, you can press it with your thumb or massage it with your thumb for about two minutes each time, so that the skin around the point feels sore.

The action of squeezing hands seems simple, but in fact it can preserve health, which is an "easy-to-get" way for ordinary people to preserve health. However, in the process of hand massage, some things need special attention, otherwise it is easy to put the cart before the horse.

Matters needing attention in hand massage

Although it is said that pressing by hand can keep you healthy, you must be careful not to find the wrong acupoints when pressing and rubbing. Whether you want to keep in good health by massaging acupoints, or you want to relieve physical discomfort by massaging acupoints, you must find the right acupoints.

Massage your hands in moderation. If it is too light, it will have no effect. If it is too heavy, it may cause discomfort. Mastering the appropriate strength is the key. If you don't know how hard you should work, you can consult a doctor.

Some people can keep in good health as soon as they hear their hands squeezed, which makes it easy to amplify the effect and rely too much on massage hands to keep in good health. This concept must be changed. For example, although thenar can relieve chest pain and other problems, sudden angina pectoris should be sent to hospital for treatment at the first time. Massage hands for health preservation can only be carried out as usual.

Finally, pinching hands can keep you healthy. Only long-term persistence and long-term massage of hand acupoints can dredge meridians and achieve the effect of health care. You should clear your mind and don't act in a hurry.
