Compared with the more precise part of the acupoint, there is a "health switch" on the hand, which each of us can find at will. This is our little finger.
According to the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the "little finger" corresponds to the "heart meridian of hand lacking yin" and the corresponding viscera is "kidney", which is amazing.
We know that the heart is the master of the whole body and the kidney is the innate foundation, which is self-evident in health care. So, what are the benefits of massaging the "little finger" to the body?
If you spend 5 to 10 minutes massaging this little finger every day, many physical problems will be reduced.
For example, the elderly with "prostatic hypertrophy" have difficulty urinating and even urinary incontinence during the attack. You can press the surface of the little finger and press the knuckle of the little finger at the same time, which can make urination smooth and reduce urinary retention.
There is an "old eye spot" on the lateral root of the little finger, which can improve the blurred vision of the elderly.
Sticking to this part in the morning and evening can prevent cataracts and presbyopia.
Don't think that this is a patent for the elderly. Since it is health preservation, we should start from "prevention", that is, from an early age.
Because the little finger is the end of the heart meridian of hand shaoyin, massaging the little finger can cheer up the qi-moving machine that spreads the heart.
"Heart" is the only place in the zang-fu organs where there is no tumor. We often massage the heart meridian. Can we get some inspiration from it? I think it's possible.
At present, the incidence of cancer is very high, and it would be great if we could find some clues in it.
Of the five fingers in our hands, the little finger should be the weakest link. Not only the shortest, but also the weakest.
Massage the little finger frequently and even consciously exercise his "strength", which is very beneficial to keep fit. This point is well explained in Tai Chi Health.
There are requirements of "letting go of the little finger" and "transmitting sound in the palm and connecting with the finger" in Taiji. They believe that the upward, downward, forward, backward and backward movements of the hand are regulated by the "little finger". When the little finger is relaxed, nine joints such as foot, ankle, knee, hip, waist, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand can be relaxed.
Massage the little finger can also improve energy. In hand diagnosis therapy, the little finger is closely related to the heart, small intestine, daughter cells, kidney, bladder and other viscera.
The little finger is a symbol of energy. If the little finger is muscular, the functions of these viscera will be stronger and people's energy will be more vigorous. On the other hand, if the little finger mound is thin or bloodshot and purple, it means that the visceral reaction is slow and the external performance will be poor.
In a word, although the little finger is inconspicuous, it plays an important role in health care because it is related to the heart and kidneys.
It should be pointed out that this article is only used as a reference for health preservation and cannot be used as a basis for "treatment".
If you have health problems, the first thing to do is to see a doctor. At this time, any health care method is only an auxiliary measure.
