It is recorded in the Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B: Shenque is interpreted as a god with qi; Que, originally meant gatehouse and archway. Shenque means the gateway to the air. "Li Zheng Massage Essentials": "The navel is connected with the five internal organs and the door of qi communication, so it is called Shenque.
Located in the middle of navel, parallel to Mingmen point on the back du meridian.
Shenque point is the most secret and crucial point in human life, and it is also a big point for human longevity.
Shenque is the Yang point on Ren meridian, and Mingmen is the Yang point on Du meridian. The two points are connected before and after, and yin and yang are combined, which is where the life energy of human body lies. Therefore, ancient practitioners called these two points officials of fire and water. The research of human science shows that Shenque point is the only hidden part of the innate truth, and people can start the human fetal interest and restore the energy of the innate truth through exercise.
Shenque point is a supporting point, which is our innate bond. Shenque point is closely related to human life activities. We know that the fetus in the mother breathes by the placenta, which belongs to the state of congenital true breath. After the baby leaves the body, the umbilical cord is cut off, congenital breathing stops, and acquired lung breathing begins. Umbilical cord and placenta are closely connected in umbilical cord. Without this sacred place, life will cease to exist. Once the human body starts the fetal interest function, it is like setting up a health care station and an energy supply station for the human body, so that the pulse qi and blood of the human body can be automatically adjusted at any time, and the human body will be healthy and young. Regular exercise of Shenque point has a unique effect on abdominal pain, bowel sounds, edema, diarrhea, rectocele, edema, collapse and stroke.
When treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, Shenque point is often matched with Guanyuan, which has the function of warming and tonifying kidney-yang, and is mainly used to treat chronic diarrhea, bowel sounds and abdominal pain.
Together with Baihui and Bladder Meridian, it has the functions of invigorating yang, relieving depression and restoring yang, and is mainly used for proctoptosis. Combined with Shimen, it has the functions of warming yang, promoting diuresis, dredging channels and promoting qi circulation, and is mainly used to treat abdominal edema and dysuria.
In the usual health care, Shenque point is generally not given needles because of the inconvenience of disinfection. Moxibustion with moxa stick or moxa cone, kneading and keeping in mind are often used. Here are some effective ways to share:
1, press the kneading method, also known as kneading method: every night before going to bed, on an empty stomach, warm your hands, put them on the lower left and upper right of your navel, and knead them clockwise (contrary to women), 360 times each time.
2, gas gathering method: sit up, relax, close your eyes slightly, idle your right hand against the gods, and gather the true energy in the universe to the navel with your mind, with a warm feeling as the degree.
3. There is also the concept of obeying the law: relax, sit on a plate, close your eyes, get rid of distractions, and concentrate your thoughts on the sacred place for more than half an hour at a time. After a long time, the air bag will be concentrated, and the gas at the acupoint will occur, and the fetal interest will slowly begin.
4. Press your finger on your navel, don't move, and adjust the pressing force according to your comfort. When pressing, calm your mind, focus on your navel and count your breaths. 100 times is enough, once a day. You can press it during lunch break or before going to bed late.
5, moxibustion method: you can directly moxibustion, but also ginger and salt moxibustion. Shenque point is an exquisite point. At the beginning, moxibustion time should not be too long, just 3-5 minutes. When it is adapted, it will be expanded again. Generally, 10- 15 minutes is more appropriate.
6, filling: longan pulp, moxa sticks, pepper three equal parts, finely smashed into small balls buried in the navel, fixed with medical tape, placed overnight, can cure insomnia. This is also the prescription of Master nan huaijin for insomnia.
7, weight loss (Yang deficiency constitution): Shenque is one of the main acupoints, as long as you choose acupoints: Shenque, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Yongquan. This is to lose weight for yang deficiency constitution. Moxibustion of each acupoint for 5- 10 minutes every day for more than 3 months has obvious effect on improving obesity due to yang deficiency. As long as your constitution changes, you will be pleasantly surprised to get a healthy and slim figure unconsciously.
8. Earthwork: There is also an indigenous method, which was handed down from my grandparents' generation. It is very useful for treating children's diarrhea. Whether it's diarrhea caused by baby food accumulation or a cold, loose stools can be used. You can mix a pinch of adult head with fever and raw fennel, mix them together and apply them to your navel. Usually it will stop diarrhea in an hour or so. Can be applied again to consolidate.
Shenque is a very important health-preserving acupoint and a strong big acupoint on our body. Paying attention to the health care of Shenque can make the human body full of qi and blood, full of energy, full of physical strength, strong waist muscles, rosy complexion, bright ears and eyes, light body weight and longevity.
Finally, I wish you all good health and unlimited health.
