It is a high season for constipation and hemorrhoids, especially for sedentary white-collar workers and the elderly. In this issue, Professor Lin Guohua, deputy director of the Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, recommended Chengshan Point to you. It has the functions of relaxing bowels, clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, and regular kneading is helpful to prevent and relieve constipation and hemorrhoids.
Professor Lin Guohua introduced that hemorrhoids often have symptoms such as swelling and pain, itching, running water and bleeding. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly related to long-term sedentary standing, weight-bearing travel, improper diet and long-term constipation. These factors will lead to "warm gambling", which in turn will relax anal muscles and veins and induce hemorrhoids.
Through clinical observation, doctors found that Chengshan point of most patients with anorectal diseases has obvious tenderness or simple changes, which is the so-called disease positive reaction point. Chengshan point belongs to the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, which has the effects of relaxing bowels, clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, dredging collaterals and relieving pain, and is an effective point for the clinical treatment of hemorrhoids, anal fissure and constipation.
In addition, pressing Chengshan point can also prevent muscle cramps. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that muscle cramps are mostly caused by feeling cold evil, overwork, stagnation of qi and blood, obstruction of meridians and tendons. Chengshan point, located in the abdomen of gastrocnemius muscle, has the functions of promoting qi circulation and blood circulation, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, relieving spasm and relieving pain, and can better relieve the pain of tendon transfer in sacrum of calf and calf spasm. Generally speaking, people who do a lot of strenuous exercise in a short time, or pregnant women, middle-aged and elderly people are prone to cramp symptoms, which can be prevented by moxibustion or massage at Chengshan point. Pressing the left and right Chengshan points for 3 to 5 minutes before exercise can effectively prevent calf cramps.
