It refers to the method of selecting drugs according to symptoms, grinding them into fine powder, and applying them to navel with wine, vinegar, egg white, water or oil, so that the properties of drugs can reach the affected area along meridians, which is used to prevent and treat diseases. It is simple, cheap and effective, which highlights the characteristics of external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and is widely used in clinical departments.
Umbilical therapy is applied in the navel, deep in the small intestine, with inferior epigastric artery and vein; There are 10 medial branches of anterior cutaneous branch of intercostal nerve.
The acupoints here are named Shenque, Shenque is Shenque, and Shenque refers to the main point.
Acupoint is umbilical foramen, which is connected with umbilical cord when the fetus is born, so it is also called "lifeblood". The reason why it is named Shenque is because the fetus relies on this palace que to lose nutrition and infuse the whole body, so that the carcass gradually develops and is unpredictable, hence the name.
This acupoint is located in the meridian of Ren meridian, which is the confluence of Yin meridian and Qi and the sea of Yin. It has the function of nourishing and regulating yin meridian and yin qi, and plays a leading and commanding role in yin meridian. Shenque point is the main point of ren meridian, which has the functions of consolidating the foundation and strengthening the yuan, restoring yang to save the adverse, regulating the stomach and regulating the intestines.
Children's massage has a good effect: invigorating spleen and stomach, promoting digestion and resolving stagnation, and invigorating vitality. Main melody melody: diarrhea, abdominal pain, malnutrition, constipation, vomiting, etc.
Because this acupoint is difficult to disinfect, easy to infect, and connected with important organs, it is forbidden to needle, and navel dressing just makes up for the lack of needle prohibition at this acupoint.
Umbilical therapy, as a method of acupoint application, can also stimulate the prevention and treatment of diseases.
The important physiological function of Shenque point determines its extensive connection with internal organs. Apply the medicine to this acupoint to get pungent, warm, fragrant and dry properties, so as to achieve the purpose of generating strong stimulation.
Stimulation stimulates the body's own immune function, enhances metabolism and repair ability, thus playing the role of coordinating viscera, harmonizing qi and blood, and dredging meridians.
Umbilical therapy not only has stimulating effect, but also has strong penetrating effect.
According to the syndrome, after the appropriate medicine is filled into the navel, with the help of the medicine, the medicine molecules enter the blood circulation and penetrate into various organs and tissues of the whole body, thus regulating the deficiency and excess of viscera, balancing yin and yang and harmonizing qi and blood.
When the stimulation of acupoints and the penetration of drugs reach a certain limit, the body can produce non-specific benign stimulation and stimulate the "physiological stress system" inside the body. Through a series of adjustments to nerves and body fluids, the body's defensive immune function is enhanced, metabolism is improved, and disease healing is promoted.
