Nowadays, neck and shoulder problems are the "standard" of most modern people. Once you get involved, the cervical vertebrae and shoulder peripheral parts may be painful, sore, and swelling. In severe cases, hands may be numb, dizzy, dizzy, and even palpitations. Friends often consult me and say that after the discomfort symptoms after moxibustion disappear, if the moxibustion is stopped for a period of time, the pain will recur, which means that the neck and shoulder problems are more stubborn and cannot be broken. Generally, in this case, it is recommended that they do not "treat headaches to treat head and feet", but instead look for problems with the small intestine more often. Why is this?
. The small intestine belongs to fire, and it is most afraid of being cold
In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, The small intestine and the heart are exterior and interior, and the qi and blood are connected. Its nature belongs to fire and yang . Its main function is to receive the accumulation of substances and secrete the clear and turbidity-
html l0acid
refers to the small intestine receiving chyme that is initially crushed and conducted downward from the stomach, and these chymes must stay in the small intestine for a certain period of time to act as a container to facilitate further digestion.
secretion clear and turbid
refers to the small intestine, which absorbs the subtle parts (nutrients) in it to the spleen, and transmits the food residue down to the large intestine to form feces, and water penetrates into the bladder through the gasification of the kidneys to form urine.
So, what are the two functions of the small intestine implemented? In a word: depends on the filling of yang energy in the small intestine!
And, this has been confirmed by modern medical research: small intestine is the largest digestive organ in the human body, and the digestive enzyme is a catalyst for the chemical reaction of food, but the digestive enzyme needs to work normally at an appropriate catalytic temperature (37℃-40℃).
Why are modern people prone to indigestion? The official account zyys899 only provides the latest and most professional health knowledge. Because bad habits such as gluttony, cold clothing, and love to blow air conditioning, damaging the yang energy of the small intestine, for the small intestine that belongs to fire and yang, if the yang energy is insufficient, there will be insufficient kinetic energy, and the following symptoms will occur:
. The body's absorption function is relatively poor, and it will never be fat or cannot be supplemented;
. If you are not careful about your diet, you will have stomachache and diarrhea;
. The navel is cold and occasionally painful;
. The neck and shoulders are stiff, and the range of movement is limited, especially after eating raw and cold food and drinking iced beverages and beer;
. Palpitation, chest tightness , often depressed, and even depression .
. The relationship between the small intestine and the neck and shoulder
It is not difficult for everyone to understand the first, 2, 3 and 5 of the above symptoms, but the difficult one is the fourth one. Many people think that the small intestine is a digestive organ and is completely incompatible with the neck and shoulders. In response to this, the editor said: If you think so, then you will be OUT!
Regarding neck and shoulder problems, there are great differences in cognition between Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine - Western medicine believes that neck and shoulder problems are bone problems; traditional Chinese medicine believes that neck and shoulder problems are meridian problems. Different cognitions will cause different treatment methods. Therefore, Western medicine focuses on correcting bones, which often leads to more troublesome treatment; while Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on unblocking meridians, keeping meridians open and qi and blood smooth, and pain, stiffness, numbness, and even dizziness, dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms will disappear by themselves.
However, it should be noted that there is a problem with the neck and shoulders. You cannot just unblock the meridians in the neck and shoulders, because the meridians in charge of the neck and shoulders are not on the neck and shoulders, but on the outside of both arms. It is the small intestine meridian!
Cold is responsible for induction and stagnation. When the evil of yin and cold invades the small intestine meridian, the meridians will be blocked and the qi and blood will be blocked. The section from the shoulder blade to the neck will naturally be inadequate, causing muscle stiffness and solidification, just like the frozen soil that cannot be obtained from the sun.
You should know that the full name of the small intestine meridian is the hand sun small intestine meridian. "Sun" means the place where the yang energy is most prosperous. The official account zyys899 only provides the latest and most professional health knowledge. Just imagine, the place where yang energy was needed the most became cold, and all kinds of annoying problems would definitely come to you.
So, to put it bluntly, whether it is massage, massage, or moxibustion, you can’t just know how to toss around the neck and shoulders. is the key to unblocking the small intestine meridian!
. Raising yang, the radical cure for neck and shoulder problems!
As mentioned above, the small intestine belongs to fire and yang, and the small intestine meridian is the most prosperous place of yang energy. Therefore, to eradicate neck and shoulder problems, it is necessary to improve the coldness of the small intestine and blockage of the small intestine meridian - the best method is to raise yang . Naturally, Moxibustion is the best choice.
So, how to raise the sun? Mainly divided into 3 steps:
Step 1: Warm and nourish the yang of the spleen and kidney
The small intestine belongs to middle burner and is closely related to the spleen and stomach. When the small intestine is cold and the yang energy is deficient, the yang energy of the spleen, stomach and even kidneys will also be implicated. Therefore, the fundamental idea of to drive away cold in the small intestine is how to warm and nourish the yang of the spleen and kidneys.
It is recommended to select acupoints: Shenque , Guanyuan, Moxibustion for each acupoint for 20-30 minutes. If you are worried about getting angry, after moxibustion of these two acupoints, it is recommended to moxibustion your legs more to cause the fire to go down, such as Zusanli , Sanyinjiao, Yongquan and other acupoints.
Step 2: Unblock the neck and shoulders
Neck and shoulders, and mainly moxibustion into 3 acupoints: Jianjing, Jiaji, and Dazhui.
, Jianjing
There is a well in the human body, Jianjing is the wellhead of this well. To make the body easy and smooth from top to bottom, you must clean this well frequently. We often use shoulder pinching to eliminate fatigue. In fact, shoulder pinching includes the scope of the shoulder well.
When Chinese medicine massages, it always massages Jianjing first, then massages other places, and finally ends with massage Jianjing as the end. massage the Jianjing first to relax the whole body, so as to facilitate the mobilization of acupuncture points and qi and blood, so that the effect can be good; ending with massage the Jianjing first is to tighten the previously fully loosened qi and blood again. This is like cleaning a well. First, open the manhole cover, and then clean it as much as you want. After cleaning it, then cover the manhole cover.
, cervical Jiaji
Jiaji point is a strange point outside the meridian, which can adjust the meridian qi of the Du meridian and foot Taiyang meridian and relieve local pain. For neck and shoulder problems, it is recommended to choose the 3-neck 6 Jiaji point, which is 0.5 inches away from the posterior midline.
3, Dazhui
Dazhui is also known as "The King of Hell's Death Lock". It is located at the intersection and plays a role in connecting the past and the future. Moreover, Dazhui is the meeting of " Three Yang " and "Du Meridians". The yang energy of the whole body meets here. Moxibustion through Dazhui is equivalent to opening the main switch of the yang energy of the whole body. People with Dazhui blockage not only cannot rise, but also block 7 meridians (large intestinal meridian, small intestinal meridian, triple burner meridian , stomach meridian, bladder meridian, gallbladder meridian, and Du meridian).
Before moxibustion of Dazhui, in order to enhance the effect, you can first scrape and then moxibustion.
Step 3: Unblock the small intestine meridian
Highlight the small intestine meridian. The key is to unblock the acupoints that are most prone to blood stasis. The main ones are the following 3:
