Mingmen acupoint, also known as "belonging to tired", "bamboo battle", and "jinggong" in ancient times. It was first seen in "Acupuncture and Moxibustion A and B Classic": "The waist and abdomen cause pain, and life is the master of life." "It means life, and "gate" means gateway. Therefore, Mingmen means "gate of life". From the inside, the Mingmen is between the two kidneys; from the outside, the Mingmen is between the two "kidney points".
Mingmen acupoint is an important acupuncture point on the Du Channel, and the Du Channel is one of the "Eight Meridians" of the human body. The term "eight meridians of odd meridians" is often seen in martial arts novels. Only the top kung fu masters can get through the "eight meridians of odd meridians" and make martial arts reach a higher level. Among them, the "Ren Du Er Meridian", also known as "Xiao Zhou Tian", is a key part of Taoist cultivation.
The Governor Vessel is located on the posterior midline of the human body, that is, it runs along the direction of the spine. Its function is "the yang of the governor's body", which means that the Yang Qi and Yang Jing of the whole body are controlled by the governor channel. Therefore, in a healthy condition, the Du Channel should be the meridian with the most sufficient Yang Qi.
Mingmen point, in the middle of the left and right kidneys and the two kidney meridians, becomes an important gateway for the Governor Vessel to communicate with the kidneys. Mingmen acupoint can not only cure diseases near the acupoints, but also has a systemic therapeutic effect. Therefore, patients with weak physical fitness and insufficient Yang Qi can use acupuncture and moxibustion at this point to "support righteousness."
The location of the Mingmen acupoint is at the posterior midline, the depression below the mandibular process of the second lumbar vertebra, which was called "in the subsegmental space of the fourteen vertebrae" in ancient times. Acupuncture point selection: The back midline and the iliac crest are flush with the "Yaoyangguan", and then touch the two spinous processes upwards. The depression above it is the Mingmen acupoint. Acupuncture or moxibustion can be used at Mingmen point, with a straight needle of 0.5 to 1 inch; or moxibustion such as moxa sticks and moxa sticks; also use kidney-warming plasters, medicinal bags, even warm water bags, hand warmers, or rubbing and warming your hands. On the acupoints.
The Mingmen point has a wide range of clinical applications and is suitable for many diseases of the nervous system, digestive system, and genitourinary system. Such as: vaginal discharge, endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease in obstetrics and gynecology; sciatica, stroke and paralysis in neurology; enuresis and nephritis in urology; and even surgical lumbar sprains, hernias, tetanus, etc., all have good treatment effect.
In ancient medical books, there are abundant records about the treatment of diseases at Mingmen acupoint. Such as: "Shen Moxibustion Jinglun" can not treat impotence, "Yulong Fu" treats the elderly more."Sheng Yuge" treats kidney deficiency and frequent urination and so on. Modern studies have confirmed that acupuncture at the Mingmen point can improve sexual dysfunction, lack of sperm, improve human immunity, and has a good analgesic effect.
The main functions of Mingmen acupoint are: invigorating the kidney and strengthening yang, regulating the meridian and stopping zone, and relaxing the tendons and collaterals. For kidney-yang deficiency caused by various reasons, moxibustion is often used to warm the yang and invigorate the kidney, and it also has the effect of warming the meridians. Mingmen acupoint is a commonly used main point for gynecological diseases. It is used in women's diseases at all stages of "menstruation, belt, fetus, and childbirth". Let's introduce one by one below:
"Menched", the deficiency of kidney yang, will affect all aspects of menstruation. Deficiency of Yang Qi and failure to collect blood normally will increase menstrual flow and cause more than leakage, resulting in "uterine bleeding"; insufficient cold will cause errors after menstruation, "delayed menstruation" or even blood dryness and "amenorrhea" ; Yin-cold stagnation, pain will occur if it fails, and "dysmenorrhea" will appear.
There was a Miss Chi who came to treat dysmenorrhea in the outpatient clinic. The first time she saw her, she was curled up and she was a "weak Liu Fufeng Daiyu Fan Er". It was obvious that she was born with insufficient endowment. When she took off her thick coat, I wrote a line to the students: Sore waist and knees, cold pain in waist and abdomen, aggravated cold, the pain is reduced, like kneading and pressing, warm and cold. She turned around and saw, widened her eyes and asked: "How do you know?"
I laughed and said, "This is a typical symptom of yang deficiency and dysmenorrhea." During the treatment, I focused on moxibustion at the Mingmen acupoint, and the effect was immediate. She sighed: "I didn't expect it to be so fast." I said: "This point intersects the Du Channel and the kidneys, warming the Mingmen point, like a'little sun' rising on a rainy day, and the haze will naturally be wiped out." Chinese medicine calls it: "Yihuo Zhizhi" Source, to eliminate yin pans."
"Zi", that is, under the disease, refers to a kind of viscous liquid flowing out of the female vagina, which is more common in white. Leucorrhea is named leucorrhea because it is related to the veins. It can be found in gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. There is a record in "Lei Jing Tu Yi": Mingmen, Shenque, and Zhongji are used for "Lindai Chibai", which is extremely effective in curing.
"fetus", including infertility, abortion and fetus. If the kidney yang is insufficient, the uterus will be cold, making it difficult to conceive. Moxibustion at Mingmen acupoint can warm the palace and dispel cold. "Shen Moxibustion Jinglun" has the record of life-saving treatment of infertility. This kind of deficiency and cold physique is extremely prone to habitual abortion, that is, "recurring abortion" even after conception. Moxibustion on the life gate can warm the kidney and strengthen the yang, which is good for fetus prevention.
"birth", here is the postpartum abdominal pain.After giving birth, the yang energy in the kidney is greatly depleted. If you don’t pay attention to preventing cold and keeping warm, you will be prone to abdominal pain due to coldness. This kind of abdominal pain is often mixed with deficiency and excess. When the abdominal pain is severe, moxibustion can help patients relieve pain symptoms more quickly and effectively.
When a woman manages the four levels of "warp, belt, fetus, and childbirth", she will naturally live a long life. There are many other indications, generally focusing on pain, cold syndrome, and alopecia caused by yang deficiency and yin excess. In short, because of its unique "geographical location", Mingmen acupoint not only warms the kidney yang, but also warms the governor channel, it has become the best choice for the treatment of cold-deficiency waist and abdomen diseases. Make good use of this "little sun", it is really called: "warm, very caring"!
