The method of "chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid" is one of the important health preserving techniques in traditional Chinese medicine. What needs to be reminded is that to achieve the health care effect, we must persevere and never stop. It is unrealistic to hope that it will have much effect in three to five days.
Modern science has proved that knocking or biting teeth can excite nerves, blood vessels and cells of teeth and periodontal tissues, promote blood circulation of teeth and periodontal tissues, and enhance their disease resistance.
1, because the teeth are not firmly fixed in the alveolar fossa, but suspended in the alveolar fossa through periodontal ligament fibers. The alveolar fossa is rich in blood vessels. Slight physiological movement of teeth during tapping can promote local blood circulation and lymphatic reflux, enhance metabolism and contribute to tooth health.
2. Secondly, alveolar fossa is a highly plastic tissue, and its growth and development depend on the functional stimulation of teeth. Periodontal membrane is rich in nerve and peripheral receptors. Chewing pressure stimulates the terminal receptors in the process of tooth tapping, which can promote the development of alveolar bone and contribute to the health of periodontal tissue through the conduction and reflection of nervous system.
3. Third, chewing-like exercise can stimulate the nerve receptors in oral mucosa and tongue, which will be transmitted to salivary glands to cause saliva secretion. Saliva can mechanically rinse teeth and wash away attached food residues and bacteria; At the same time, lysozyme in saliva can also kill some oral bacteria, which is helpful to enhance the disease resistance of teeth.

The essentials of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid.
1, knock your teeth
When you wake up in the morning, don't talk, calm down, get rid of other thoughts, relax, close your lips, unite your mind, and then let your upper and lower teeth beat each other rhythmically, clanging and sounding for unlimited times. When you start exercising, you can pat it about 20 times. With the continuous progress of sports, you can gradually increase the number and intensity of knocking teeth, generally 36 times is better.
Strength can be measured according to the health of teeth. This is to complete a knock.
2. Swallow Tianjin
From the point of view of TCM health preservation, the "Red Dragon Stirring Tianchi Lake" should be supplemented after percussion, that is, after percussion, the tongue should be stirred against the upper and lower gums and tooth surfaces in the cavity, and the force should be gentle and natural, first up and down, first inside and then outside, stirring for 36 times, which can massage the gums, improve local blood circulation and accelerate the nutritional blood supply of the gums.
When you feel that body fluids (saliva) are produced, don't swallow them and continue to stir. When saliva gradually increases, put your tongue on the palate to gather saliva, rinse your cheeks with saliva several times, and finally swallow it slowly in three times. It is a complete "health care method" with time and frequency. It is better to knock your teeth ten times each time, ten times each morning, noon and evening, and it is better to do more.
Among them, knocking at the door in the morning is the most important, because people will loosen their teeth after a night's rest. At this time, knocking teeth can not only consolidate gum and periodontal tissue, but also excite dental nerves, blood vessels and dental pulp cells, which is of great benefit to dental health.
