Before we talk about this, let's look at some famous people who have lived long in history.
Sun Simiao, a "health care master" in the Tang Dynasty, was included in the list of centenarians. It was not until he was 65,438+0,065,438+0 that he drove the crane westward. Sun's famous health care principle is "comb your hair frequently".
Let's take a look at Lu You, a great poet in the Song Dynasty. In that turbulent era when medical conditions were underdeveloped, he actually lived to 85 years old. How did he do it? The answer can be found in his poem: "Every time I close the door, I feel bored, comb it again"; "Broken hair is cold twisted, and residual hair is short combed."
Finally, let's talk about Lafayette in the Qing Dynasty. Although she lived in an "eventful autumn" and was restless all day, she still spent 73 spring and autumn years. Even in her sixties, she still looks old with white hair. According to records, Cixi has a habit of "determined to win", which is to let Li do massage while combing her hair every morning.
The above three "longevity stars" all have a common feature, that is, combing their hair for a long time. Why can combing hair prolong people's life? The head is the intersection of the the twelve meridians and the Eight Meridians, and there are about 50 acupoints, such as Baihui and Taiyang. It can be said that the encounter of yang leads to the connection of pulse.
When people comb their hair, they can not only stimulate the scalp, but also massage these acupoints. Sticking to combing hair for a long time virtually strengthens the communication between human meridians and whole body tissues, and also promotes the rise of yang, adjusts the pulse and balances yin and yang. At the same time, it also promotes blood circulation, strengthens liver and kidney functions, naturally reduces the occurrence of various diseases and prolongs people's life.
It should be noted here that combing hair is not a routine task of "three strikes and five divisions". There is a lot of stress in it. First, it is best to choose a comb made of wood or horn, not plastic. Secondly, comb your hair properly and gently, from your forehead to the back of your head, about 50 times each time, once every morning and evening.
In addition, Chinese medicine believes that the kidney begins with knowing the ear, which is recorded in our ancient medical work Huangdi Neijing: "The ear is firm, the kidney is firm, and the ear is thin, the kidney is brittle." Therefore, the ear is closely related to the kidney. Frequent ear lifting can stimulate renal function and play a role in tonifying kidney.
At the same time, there are acupoints such as "Ganyang" on the helix, which have the functions of calming the liver, calming the wind, soothing the liver and relieving pain. Therefore, pinching the ear often is also very beneficial to relieve and treat hyperactivity of liver yang.
To sum up, we can adhere to two small methods of tonifying kidney and nourishing liver.
Method 1: comb your hair twice a day.
Method 2: When you have nothing to do, keep your ears open. This is not a "pain somewhere", but a good way to keep fit.
In short, pay more attention to the maintenance of liver and kidney in life, so as to be less sick and healthy.
