Our great Chinese medicine advocates the study of meridians, emphasizing that there are meridians of different sizes everywhere in the human body, connecting the internal organs and limbs, thus forming an organic whole, and there are acupuncture points at specific meridian parts, which are "switches". Moderate massage on these acupoints can play a role in health preservation. There are four specific reasons!
First of all, acupoint massage can promote the circulation of qi and blood, accelerate the circulation of blood and lymph, actively stimulate blood vessels, reduce the resistance of blood flow, make the internal organs of the body better nourished by qi and blood, significantly improve the body's disease resistance and keep the body away from diseases. Therefore, acupoint massage has the significance of health preservation.
Secondly, moderate massage and kneading of local acupoints can enhance the ability of muscle fibers to contract and stretch. Because the blood and lymph circulation are accelerated, the muscles of the body can get more nutrition, so the muscles are more elastic. At the same time, stimulating local acupoints can relax muscles and activate collaterals, regulate the nervous system, and thus play a role in relieving excessive muscle tension or physical fatigue.
Then, moderately massaging acupoints can accelerate blood circulation, improve the metabolic efficiency of skin, and make skin cells get enough nutrition, showing a smooth and meticulous young posture.
Finally, moderate acupoint massage can open channels and collaterals, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and significantly improve our digestive system, especially for patients, moderate acupoint massage has the health care function of promoting rehabilitation.
Traditional Chinese medicine classifies human acupoints, and points out that there are 830 acupoints in the human body, each of which will play a different role, among which there are many hand acupoints, and moderate massage of hand acupoints can achieve unexpected results.
First, Hegu point:
Hegu point is located in the tiger's mouth between thumb and forefinger, corresponding to the large intestine meridian of human body. Therefore, moderate massage of Hegu point can stimulate the large intestine, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, relieve constipation, and also alleviate the problem of dysmenorrhea in women. In addition, Hegu point is also a first aid point, especially pressing Hegu point and Renzhong point after heatstroke or stroke can restore people's will.
Second, the fishbone point:
Fishbone point is considered as a health-preserving point, which is located at the muscle bulge at the root of thumb. Generally speaking, Chinese medicine believes that moderate massage of Fishbone point can enhance kidney qi and improve kidney deficiency, and Fishbone point is related to respiratory system, so massage of Fishbone point can improve lung discomfort symptoms.
Third, Yanggu point:
The finger is straight, and the point where the little finger is connected with the wrist striated muscle is Yanggu point, which is called "Bulao Point". Regular massage of Yanggu point can speed up the metabolism in the body, coordinate the functions of the five internal organs and enhance the disease resistance of the human body, especially for patients with hypertension, this point can be massaged moderately to improve the symptoms of hypertension.
