Men have a longevity point-Guanyuan point.
Women have a younger point-Sanyinjiao.
Today, I will introduce the magic of these two acupoints to you.
Guanyuan point, male longevity point
In the Song Dynasty, Dou Cai recorded such a story in Bian Que's Heart Book:
During the Shao Dynasty, a soldier in Liu Wu died in Wang Chao, a native of Taiyuan, and later escaped into the Jianghu as a thief. He once met an unusual person and was taught "Huang Bai's way of life". Wang Chao acted in this way, from 1990 to 1990, which was wonderful. After being captured, the prison officer asked him: Do you have any skills to keep fit? Wang Chao replied, no, just at the turn of summer and autumn, I used moxa fire to moxibustion at Guanyuan point for thousands of times, so I'm not afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer, and I won't be hungry if I don't eat for a few days. So far, the lower part of my navel is as warm as fire.
Doesn't that sound amazing?
"After 30 days' noon", men begin to enter a recession at the age of 30 and need to pay more attention to health care. One of the most important acupoints in experienced old Chinese medicine is Guanyuan.
Guanyuan point, located 3 inches below the navel, is the intersection of Ren meridian and Zu Sanyin meridian, and also the intersection of Yin and Yang vitality, hence the name Guanyuan. The ancients called Guan Yuan "the intersection of yin and yang of human body", and Lao Zi called it "the door of mystery".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Guanyuan point has the effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the lower energizer. Massage, vibration and moxibustion can strengthen the body and prolong life.
Modern research shows that stimulating Guanyuan point can regulate endocrine and multiply the body's metabolism.
Moreover, this regulation is biphasic, that is, the hyperactive function is reduced and the reduced function is enhanced. Healthy people press and rub Guanyuan point with their fingers before going to bed every night, which is very good for their health.
Method:
Middle-aged and elderly people can fold their hands every morning and evening and rub their abdomen for 9 minutes centered on Guanyuan point; Then the index finger of both hands overlaps with the abdomen, and the Guanyuan point is pressed for 6 minutes to make the local area feel sore.
Efficacy: This method can warm and tonify kidney yang, strengthen kidney and solidify essence. Generally speaking, regular massage of Guanyuan point can play a role in invigorating vitality, warming kidney and replenishing essence, dispelling cold and restoring yang, regulating chong and ren, and prolonging life.
Women's Eternal Acupoint-Sanyinjiao
For women, the point of Sanyinjiao is very important, which can be said to be a "young point" for women. It is a "panacea" for gynecological diseases. Pressing this acupoint often can help women stay young, delay aging and postpone menopause.
Here is the intersection of the three yin meridians of liver, spleen and kidney, which is located on the inner side of the calf and at the 4 fingers above the medial ankle of the foot (the bone tip protruding from the medial ankle).
Known as the "point of youth" for women, it is the first choice for gynecological diseases. It has a good effect on irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, diarrhea and insomnia.
Acupuncture Clinical Therapeutics records that Japanese women have the custom of moxibustion at Sanyinjiao point to regulate menstrual blood when they are 24 or 5 years old.
The advantage of rubbing Sanyinjiao point frequently include:
Enrich blood, nourish skin and tighten muscles.
Chinese medicine believes that spleen governs muscles. With the increase of age, people's muscles gradually relax, thus showing aging. Regular rubbing can strengthen the spleen, thus slowing down the process of muscle relaxation and keeping women in a healthy muscle state.
Regulate menstruation and improve skin.
Sanyinjiao point is the intersection point of spleen, liver and kidney. Among them, the spleen is vital to blood and governs blood. Liver stores blood, and kidney essence makes blood angry. As long as women have sufficient qi and blood, problems such as irregular menstruation will disappear. The spots, acne and wrinkles on a woman's face are actually related to irregular menstruation.
You can press this point with the pulp of your index finger and middle finger or press it clockwise to make it feel slightly painful locally, or you can hang moxibustion 15~20 minutes on this point with a moxa stick to make it feel warm locally.
