At first, Han Dong Qiang was just one of my patients. He is only 48 years old, but he has heart failure. This has something to do with the intensity of his work and the types of daily entertainment, so when he sits in front of me, he always sighs, "This is for a better life, but after running around, I find that I have more money and my life is worse." This is probably the confusion of a large part of people's lives. They struggle for a better life, but because of diet, stress and other reasons, their hearts can't bear it, so they go to the ranks of heart disease.
Faced with this problem, the lifestyle that patients should improve the most is naturally: exercise, quitting smoking and drinking, less socializing, and appropriately reducing workload, all of which are essential. Based on this, I made a brand-new lifestyle for Han. Fortunately, he has achieved a small career, so it is very convenient to adjust. At the same time, I told him to face it actively and change his inner weakness through massage.
I let Han massage Neiguan and Shenmen points every day. 1 time in the morning and evening, without interruption every day. To tell the truth, this kind of massage has nothing to be used to, but it is much more complicated for Dong who is used to it. He sometimes doubts me and says, "Is this really useful?" It's really troublesome. "As a doctor, it is naturally a headache to meet such a patient, but Han has a good wife who urges her husband to do massage every day. After more than three months of massage, Han's body has changed, not only his heart health has returned to normal, but also his resistance has increased.
He personally came to thank me and said, "I really didn't take those three acupoints seriously, but I didn't expect that my health was improved through them." I must thank you. " Now, Han has become my friend, occasionally meeting and sometimes making a phone call, but in our conversation, what he said most is no longer his understanding of life, but the magical effect of acupuncture points.
Neiguan point, Zhongshan point and Shenmen point are all familiar to us, but together they are good medicines for strengthening and protecting the heart. This is not surprising at all. Neiguan point is an important point on the pericardium meridian, which is located 2 inches above the wrist striation. Its function lies in calming the heart and calming the nerves, regulating qi and relieving pain, and also regulating arrhythmia.
This is because the pericardium meridian is closely related to the heart meridian. Neiguan point is the time when the pericardium meridian dredges qi and blood, which is equivalent to the good regulation of the heart meridian, so the heart will enhance its function. In addition, Neiguan point runs through the yin and yang meridians of the human body, and follows the meridians such as stomach, spleen and liver. Symptoms such as stomach pain and chest tightness caused by discomfort of various organs can be relieved by massaging Neiguan point.
Shenmen point belongs to the heart meridian, which directly promotes the normal cardiovascular system, and is located at the wrist transverse stripes downward from Neiguan point. Shenmen is also the gateway of heart qi and blood. Therefore, no matter what is wrong with the heart, we must clear this door first, in order to effectively manage the repeated communication of the heart.
Zhongshan acupoint is located in the heart socket, and its function is to regulate nerves and increase the blood supply capacity of myocardium. Without Zhongshan point, heart disease will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when improving cardiac power, Zhongshan point is the first choice.
The combination of these three acupoints is equivalent to maintaining qi and blood circulation, supplying the needs of heart work and coordinating the laws of the heart. How can the heart function not be strengthened? Of course, there are certain methods of massage. Neiguan point is located between the two tendons, and massage is mainly based on kneading, which can effectively stimulate it to play its role; Shenmen point is also located at the depression point, so it is more appropriate to press it with your thumb; Zhongshan point is different. It is most suitable for pressing and rubbing with the palm root, and you can also draw circles clockwise and counterclockwise. 3~5 minutes each time, suitable for once in the morning and once in the evening. As long as you stick to it, the function of the heart will gradually improve.
