stretch out your hand, with your palm facing up, and touch carefully one inch of the wrist on the side of your little finger and the horizontal line of your wrist (it is too fat, and the flesh may not be touched), and you will touch a "gluten".
There is an acupoint on the radial edge of this tendon called Tongli acupoint . Rubbing this point can improve sleep well.
Why?
Tongli point is the "luo point" on Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian , and is the "hub" for the connection between the Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian and Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian . Its word "tong" is used to be smooth and communicated. "Inside" is a neighbor and a person. Tongli point means to communicate the two meridians of exterior and interior, so that meridians and qi is unobstructed.
The heart is the yang organ, which belongs to the yang in yang, and is particularly easy to generate virtual fire and heat evil. Pair it with the small intestine to help the heart "relieve fire" through the clear and turbidity of the small intestine. The combination of the heart and the small intestine is a natural "fire relief" device in our body.
Tongli point is undoubtedly the trigger to activate this "fire relief device", which has the effect of clearing the heart fire and calming the deficiency heat in the heart. Therefore, this Tongli point has the effect of helping sleep.
- When the heart yin is insufficient, there will be deficiency and heat. Insomnia, poor sleep, and difficulty waking up early in dreams or falling asleep. It is also very annoying. The more you can't sleep, the more annoying you are. At the same time, the hands and feet are hot, thirsty and dry throat, and may also have night sweats, red tongue, or red tongue tip, less tongue coating, and tongue pain. At this time, it is suitable for Tongli point to clear heat and relieve restlessness, nourish yin and calm the heart.
- When your heart and blood are insufficient , you will also have signs of deficiency heat and irritability. Such people have poor sleep quality, insomnia and dreams, or wake up early, or can only fall asleep once a night, and it is difficult to fall asleep when they wake up. At the same time, upset, palpitations, , forgetfulness, physical fatigue, mental fatigue. His complexion was a little yellow, his tongue was pale and his coating was white. This kind of person is also suitable to use the Tongli point to calm the mind and help sleep.
- phlegm and fire disturb the heart , it will also cause deficiency, restlessness, insomnia. There are many nightmares, which are easy to wake up, restlessness in the heart, reduced diet, headache, red face, red eyes, hot urine, impatient temperament, and full abdomen. The tongue is red and the tongue coating is less yellow and greasy. This state is also particularly suitable for use of Tongli acupoint to regulate it, so as to clear the mind and calm the mind, eliminate troubles and calm minds.
Of course, there are more than these three causes of insomnia, but overall, can use the Tongli point to clear the heart, calm the mind and remove heat . does have a therapeutic effect on the above insomnia. Especially for insomnia who are upset and have red cheeks, the effect is better.
Because of this feeling of upset in my heart, the ancients called it queered . " Acupuncture Dacheng " said that this acupoint is "depressed for several days". "The Song of the Twelve Acupoints of Tianxing in Ma Danyang" proposes that it can cure "I can't speak, I feel anxious and palpitations, but in fact I have heavy limbs, my cheeks and cheeks..." " Jade Dragon Song " also says that it can be used to treat "facial makeup that has been irritated for several days, and it is hard to treat it..."
Therefore, we should indeed rub and press the Tongli point on this tendon on the wrist for more, and press each side for 15 minutes every day until sleep improves.
Some people say, what should I do if I can’t find the acupoints correctly? It is easy to do. The four acupoints on the wrist, Shenmen , Yinxi, Tongli , and Lingdao are close to each other. You can click and rub them, or you can use the scraping board to scrape the wrist to help sleep , is simple and effective!
