2. the benefits of hot compress on the neck
The neck is only a small part of the body, but its function and importance are extraordinary, even affecting the whole body. If you want to promote your body function, start with a hot compress on your neck! Chinese medicine week has sorted out five benefits of hot compress on the neck. It turns out that a small hot compress can improve so many troubles.
(1) refresh your mind
There are two carotid arteries and vertebral arteries on the left and right sides of the cervical vertebra, which are responsible for supplying blood to the brain; The spinal cord in the cervical vertebra is an extension of the central nervous system of the brain. Frequent hot compress on the neck can promote blood circulation, and the brain is not deprived of oxygen, which can naturally refresh the mind.
② Promote metabolism.
Neck health also affects the smoothness of meridian qi and blood! Dr. Zhou said that five important meridians of the human body, such as Du Meridian, Bladder Meridian, Small Intestine Meridian, Gallbladder Meridian and Sanjiao Meridian, all pass through the back neck and shoulder. When the meridians are not smooth, their main functions will also be affected.
The circulation places of Du Meridian and Bladder Meridian correspond to the human spine, and the spine has 3/kloc-0 pairs of nerves, which respectively emanate from the intervertebral foramen between vertebrae and run through the whole body. Among them, the spinal nerve of the cervical vertebra is responsible for transmitting information between the brain and various parts of the body, so the hot compress of the cervical vertebra can promote the circulation of the neck, thus indirectly accelerating the metabolism of the whole body.
(3) Help sleep
Because neck hot compress can smooth the communication between spinal nerves and organs, and can also stabilize sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves, it can stabilize nerves and help sleep. For those who have difficulty sleeping, try to apply hot compress on their necks before going to bed next time, which will help to improve insomnia.
(4) improve limb stiffness
The route followed by the small intestine meridian and the triple energizer meridian is the hand, and the hand is usually prone to numbness or chills in the limbs, which means that these two meridians are not smooth. Dr. Zhou said that the most common symptom in winter is morning stiffness. My limbs are stiff in the morning, and it takes some time to get better. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is a problem of the small intestine meridian and the triple energizer meridian. As long as the cervical vertebrae and arms are compressed, the morning stiffness can be quickly relieved.
Because the neck has carotid artery and vagus nerve extending from the brain to the intestine, hot compress on the neck can promote blood circulation, relieve limb stiffness and reduce fatigue.
(5) improving sciatica
Normal cervical vertebrae have curvature. If you bend your head or lean forward for too long, it will straighten the curvature of the cervical spine and cause pain, and the surrounding muscles will be stiff due to tension. When most people stand, they are used to hunching their backs and stretching their necks forward like turtles. Although I feel relaxed, I actually put more tension on the cervical spine, and the gallbladder meridian is prone to problems.
