Houxi, which was first seen in Huangdi Neijing Lingshu Ben Shu, is the input point of the hand-sun small intestine meridian and one of the intersection points of eight veins, and runs through the Du meridian small intestine meridian. It has the effects of dredging meridians, inducing resuscitation and calming the nerves. Suitable for office workers and developing children who often sit in front of computers. It can prevent hunchback, cervical vertebra, lumbago and leg pain, protect eyesight, relieve fatigue and replenish essence.
An international student told me that there is an old Chinese doctor who treats lumbar disc herniation in the local area. Every time he treats a patient, he will stick a few needles in the patient's waist pain, then stick a special plaster, and finally stick a needle in Houxi point. Some critically ill patients who have not recovered for many years have recovered in a short time after this treatment. He thinks that the plaster for the elderly is magical, and he is going to learn from the elderly to treat lumbar disc herniation.
After listening to his description, I told him: "I can do this kind of unique skill, and it is simpler than him." In fact, local acupuncture and waist sticking are both auxiliary therapies used by the elderly. What really works is acupuncture at Houxi point. There's a trick to needle insertion. After the needle is inserted, twist it to allow the patient to move his waist. After listening, the students suddenly realized, "Why didn't I think of that?" ! "
Taoist medicine attaches great importance to Houxi point. It can directly lead to the Du meridian, which belongs to a very important acupoint in the intersection of the Eight Meridians. The du meridian is dominated by yang, and if the yang is strong, the whole body will be strong. Acupuncture is a professional treatment. If you only do health care, just press Houxi point. Generally, after a few minutes, you can stimulate the whole body's yang, and your body will be as warm as a stove. Rubbing this point has a good therapeutic effect on fever and leg pain in small intestine meridians.
How to find Houxi point? Hand into a fist, at the red and white flesh of the head of the metacarpophalangeal joint far behind the fifth metacarpophalangeal joint (that is, hand into a fist, and the end point of the horizontal line behind the metacarpophalangeal joint is this point). If you are sitting in front of a computer, you can put this part of Houxi point on the edge of the table and use your wrist to drive your hands to roll back and forth easily to achieve the stimulating effect. During the rolling process, there will be a slight pain. This action doesn't need to be done consciously. It takes three or five minutes every day to move casually. This simple method of treating cervical, shoulder and lumbar spondylosis is called Gunhouxi point. Persistence does have a very, very good effect on cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae, and it is also good for protecting eyesight. In the past, when I was busy at work, I had to work in front of the computer for eleven or two hours every day, but for many years, my eyesight and cervical vertebra were fine, which is precisely the way.
