Teeth often knock, body fluids often swallow.
"Although many people wash their faces very clean, from a distance, they seem to be covered with a layer of ash. This is what Chinese medicine says, because of the deficiency of vitality and kidney essence. Therefore, beauty is not superficial. Only the viscera are peaceful, the qi and blood are even, the meridians are smooth, the vitality and kidney essence are abundant, the color can be moist and bright from the inside out, and the skin will naturally become delicate and smooth. "

The following methods are enduring fitness techniques in ancient times, and almost any health books will be included, which shows the importance and practical value of this method in ancient times.

I once visited an old Chinese doctor who was over 70 years old. He still climbed the mountain quickly. Many young people who accompanied him were panting and exhausted, but the old man was laughing and laughing and didn't feel tired at all. His face is bright and subtle, and his voice is like Hong Zhong's. When he asked about the way of keeping in good health, he replied, "Chew your teeth and swallow saliva". When walking with the old man, I often hear the sound of swallowing saliva next to me. That's the old man. Now the methods of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid are introduced as follows:

First, the health care method of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid

The method of "chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid" is one of the important health preserving techniques in traditional Chinese medicine. The ancients believed that good teeth made people healthy, and health made people live longer. According to documents, Tao Hongjing, a doctor in Liang Wudi, was over 80 years old, with firm teeth and good health 1400 years ago. His main fitness method is percussion. He believes that "teeth are bones and muscles", and knocking on teeth will make him strong and refreshed.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, advocated "getting up 300 times in the morning". In the Ming dynasty, there was a birthday girl named Leng Qian, who lived for one hundred and fifty years. His longevity experience is: "wake up every morning and knock your teeth 36 times." Su Dongpo, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, also had the habit of knocking on his teeth to keep fit. He once said: "After midnight, it will be refreshing to put on your coat, face southeast, sit cross-legged and knock your teeth 36 times."

Emperor Qianlong was the emperor who reigned for the longest time and lived the longest in Qing Dynasty. One of the secrets of his longevity was "knocking his teeth frequently". There is an old saying: "Get up in the morning and knock your teeth three hundred times, and your teeth will be firm." . As people grow older, the organs of the body gradually age from maturity, and their functions gradually decline, including teeth. For middle-aged and elderly people, the health of teeth is very important and must not be taken lightly. Here, introduce some dental care methods to the majority of diabetic patients and middle-aged and elderly friends.

Key points of achievement method:

1. Knock your teeth. When you wake up in the morning, don't say you are alive, calm down, get rid of other thoughts, relax, close your mouth and lips slightly, unite your mind with your eyes, and then let your upper and lower teeth beat each other rhythmically, tinkling for unlimited times. When you start exercising, you can pat it about 20 times. With the continuous progress of sports, you can gradually increase the number and intensity of knocking teeth, generally 36 times is better. Strength can be measured according to the health of teeth. This is to complete a knock.

2. Swallow body fluid. From the point of view of TCM health preservation, it should be supplemented with "Red Dragon Stirring Tianchi Lake" after tapping, that is, after tapping, stir the upper and lower gums and tooth surfaces with your tongue in the cavity, and the force should be gentle and natural, first up and then down, first inside and then outside, and stir for 36 times, which can massage the gums, improve local blood circulation and accelerate the nutritional blood supply of the gums. When you feel that body fluids (saliva) are produced, don't swallow them and continue to stir. When saliva gradually increases, put your tongue on the palate to gather saliva, rinse your cheeks with saliva several times, and finally swallow it slowly in three times.

3. The method of "chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid" is a complete set. It is better to do it ten times at a time, and it is better to do it ten times in the morning, noon and evening of a day. Among them, knocking at the door in the morning is the most important, because people will loosen their teeth after a night's rest. At this time, knocking teeth can not only consolidate gum and periodontal tissue, but also excite dental nerves, blood vessels and dental pulp cells, which is of great benefit to dental health.

hygiogenesis

1. From the point of view of western medicine, great changes have taken place in modern food structure, which makes the chewing function of teeth relatively weakened, so it is more practical to knock teeth frequently. In developed countries in Europe and America, dentists are the most sought-after occupations, where people have clean and healthy teeth. When China people went abroad, ugly and dirty teeth, bad breath and dental diseases became a major symbol.

Therefore, while popularizing dental health care treatment, we can't ignore regular percussion and do a good job in self-care of teeth. It is generally believed that toothache is not a disease, but the World Health Organization lists dental caries and periodontal diseases that cause toothache as one of the three major chronic non-communicable diseases in the world, and oral health is a big problem related to the health level of all mankind. Modern medicine has confirmed that oral diseases can cause many diseases, such as heart disease and stomach disease, which are all related to periodontitis.

According to the understanding of modern medicine on the study of tooth function, there is dental pulp composed of blood vessels and other tissues in the tooth cavity, which is the nutritional channel of teeth. Nutrients needed by teeth are in the blood. The physiological stimulation generated by knocking teeth can vibrate the pulp and gums, consolidate teeth and periodontal tissues, excite teeth nerves, cells and blood vessels, promote blood circulation of teeth and periodontal tissues, improve the nutrition supply of teeth, enhance the disease resistance and regeneration ability of periodontal tissues, increase the self-cleaning function of teeth, exert the stimulation similar to chewing exercise, improve the resistance of teeth themselves, and make teeth hard, stable, neat and white.

Frequent tapping can also maintain and enhance the functions of the masseter muscle and the masseter part of the teeth, so as to keep its fullness within a certain volume, and to some extent alleviate the concave face and flat ribs caused by the physical atrophy of the elderly. Patients who already have dental diseases can also have a good auxiliary treatment effect by knocking their teeth frequently. When you knock your teeth, your mouth and tongue are fully active and your blood circulation is accelerated, which is of great benefit to delaying facial skin aging.

The so-called "body fluid" is the saliva produced after oral activities. Saliva can keep the mouth clean, help to soak and soften food for swallowing, and contains amylase, which has digestive effect on food. Modern medical research has confirmed that saliva contains immunoglobulin, amino acids, various enzymes and vitamins, which can participate in the metabolism, growth and development of the body and enhance immune function.

2. From the point of view of Chinese medicine: During the process of chewing teeth, oral saliva increases. Chinese medicine believes that saliva can nourish internal organs. Modern medical research has proved that saliva contains many substances related to life activities. Health experts call saliva "golden jade liquid", which, like jingxie, is the material basis of life.

Huangdi Neijing said: "Spleen belongs to Tianjin, and kidney belongs to Tianjin". Saliva is closely related to spleen and kidney, which plays an inestimable role in human health and longevity. Li Shizhen believes that saliva has the functions of promoting digestion and absorption, irrigating the internal organs, nourishing yin and reducing fire, promoting fluid production and tonifying kidney, moistening skin and hair, and dredging orifices and collaterals. It is pointed out in "Red Furnace Drinks Snow": "If saliva is swallowed, the heart will turn to blood, the liver will improve eyesight, the spleen will nourish the spirit, the lung will help qi, and the kidney will produce essence, which will naturally cure all diseases."

Second, the health care function of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluids.

1, invigorating the spleen

Spleen and stomach are "the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the source of qi and blood biochemistry." "All diseases are caused by the decline of the spleen and stomach" (Li Dongtan's Spleen and Stomach Theory, Spleen and Stomach Rise and Fall Theory).

Knocking teeth can strengthen the spleen and stomach from two aspects: First, knocking teeth can strengthen teeth. Teeth are healthy, food is easy to chew, and the burden on the stomach is reduced, thus nourishing the stomach; Second, the spleen's "body fluid" and the stomach's exterior and interior, the body fluid in the mouth is a light and thin part of saliva, which helps food digestion.

Biting teeth produces saliva, which helps the stomach "break down water (food and drink)" and the spleen "transport and clean up" (turning Shui Gu into a delicate substance and "irrigating the whole body", dispersing the whole body), reducing the burden on the spleen and stomach, and achieving the purpose of strengthening the spleen and stomach.

2, kidney

Kidney is the "innate foundation" and the source of life.

There are two mechanisms to strengthen the kidney by knocking teeth: first, "teeth are the standard of the kidney" (Source of Miscellaneous Diseases, Source of Mouth, Teeth, Lip and Tongue Diseases), which is nourished by the essence in the kidney, and the essence in the kidney is abundant, so the teeth are firm and not easy to fall off; Insufficient essence in the kidney, teeth are easy to loosen, and even fall off early. Whether teeth are healthy or not is one of the signs of kidney health. Tapping teeth can strengthen teeth and replenish kidney essence, so it can strengthen the kidney. Second, the kidney is "saliva in body fluid", and the saliva in the mouth is the thicker part of saliva. Knocking teeth to produce fluid is called the "golden law", also known as "jade liquid". The "liquid" is transformed from kidney essence through essence, so it can nourish kidney essence without vomiting, so it can tonify kidney.

3, strong muscles and brain

Kidney dominates bone, and "tooth is bone". Teeth and bones are homologous and nourished by kidney essence. Tapping teeth can strengthen kidney, replenish kidney essence, benefit bone, and make bones strong, so they can strengthen bones. Su Wenyin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun said: "Kidney gives birth to marrow", while the brain is marrow sea, and the essence in the kidney is full, then the marrow sea is nourished, the brain develops well, and its function of "intellectual house" is fully exerted; On the other hand, kidney essence is insufficient, marrow sea is insufficient, and nutrition is lost. Chewing teeth can tonify the kidney, so that the essence in the kidney can be filled, so it can strengthen the brain.

4. Listen and see clearly

"Coffin Pulse Degree" says: "Kidney qi leads to ears, and kidney harmony leads to hearing and hearing." The kidney essence is full and the marrow sea nourishes, so the ears are bright and the eyes are clear; Deficiency of kidney essence, malnutrition in medullary sea, tinnitus and even deafness. In addition, "the kidney is hidden in the essence of the five internal organs" (Su Wen Qian Gu's Naivety Theory) and "the essence of the five internal organs is more important than the eyes" (coffin puzzle theory). When the essence is full, the eyes can distinguish five colors. Tapping teeth can fill the kidney essence, so it can make the ears hear and see clearly.

Beauty and hair care: Tooth tapping can activate facial muscles, strengthen facial blood circulation, improve the nutrition of facial skin, and then beautify the face. The growth of hair depends on Xue Jing. When Xue Jing is full, her hair is long and shiny. When blood essence fails, it will fade and fall off. Kidney stores essence, "its flowers are in hair", and knocking teeth can make kidney essence full and vigorous.
