In modern times, when many people go to see Chinese medicine, they will be told that they are "wet", and most people will drink barley and red beans to get rid of dampness.
What I will share with you below is where the "dampness" we often say comes from, and several key acupoints for eliminating dampness.
1. There are three factors in the existence of dampness
1. Because you eat too much greasy things, you can't digest them and accumulate them into dampness;
2. Although I don't eat much, my digestive ability is insufficient. If I eat a little, I will get bored and get wet.
3. There are also environmental and seasonal factors, such as how wet Sichuan is, and people there will feel uncomfortable if they don't eat Chili. For example, in summer, many people will get wet in their bodies, and their bodies will become heavy and lazy.
All three symptoms are ultimately related to temper.
second, "wet weight" is the standard, and "spleen deficiency" is the spleen mentioned in this Chinese medicine, which is responsible for operation, and the elimination of any metabolites depends on the power of spleen. When the temper is weak, dirty things will stay in the body. What is the dirty thing? It can be excess fat, or abnormal secretions and excretions.
Many fat people are "wet and heavy" because of yang deficiency. Many fat people look strong, but they are actually deficient in cold. Especially those who have more fat on their stomachs and bigger swimming rings, we can't ignore the coldness of their constitution. If you touch such fat people, their skin is usually cool. It is because their bodies know that they lack yang and instinctively increase fat to keep warm.
Just like when there was no refrigerator in the past, people who sold popsicles in summer would wrap them in a quilt, which prevented heat dissipation. Fat on fat people also plays this role, so there is a theory that "fat people have more yang deficiency, while thin people have more yin deficiency", which is often that the fatter they are, the fatter they are, and the fatter they are, forming a vicious circle.
The correct way for fat people to lose weight should be to warm up the cold and dampness. "Warm" refers to the ability to increase fat metabolism, and "cold and dampness" refers to those fats that should not be accumulated in the body.
Third, children who love to sleep may be "wet weight"
Many children are very good and love to sleep, which is probably trapped by wet evil. The reason why these children are wet and heavy may be that the child's innate spleen and stomach are not very strong. When feeding the day after tomorrow, parents may not notice it and hurt his temper.
Temper has the ability to digest food, absorb nutrients and expel dross. If this ability declines, the dross can't be expelled while the nutrients can't be absorbed, and it will become wet if it stays in the body. With these wastes, the body naturally feels tired, so it is easy to get sleepy at a young age.
The typical symptom of being hit by damp evil is that your body always feels tired, but this kind of fatigue is not because of where it hurts. If it hurts, it may be because you have blood deficiency.
1. My body is heavy, my hair is heavy, and my head is foggy. Although my head doesn't hurt, it's not refreshing.
2. There will be eczema on the skin, poor appetite, tasteless eating and sticky mouth.
3. When your tongue sticks out, you will find that it is fat and light in color. If the symptoms are serious, there will be teeth marks on the edge of the tongue, even like a child's little skirt. This is called "skirt tongue", which is a serious spleen deficiency and dampness.
Fourth, introduce several big points for eliminating dampness in human body
1
Location of Chengshan point
: Chengshan point is located on the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, just below the calf, which is the best point for removing moisture in human body.
massage method: when you get up every morning, put your legs out of the bed, let Chengshan point rest on the edge of the bed, and swing your legs left and right to massage Chengshan point.
Efficacy: When pressing Chengshan point, there will be obvious soreness, swelling and pain, which is due to dampness in the body; After pressing Chengshan for a period of time, you will feel a slight fever on your body. This is because the yang in the bladder meridian is at work, and the dampness on your body is escaping with the slightly increased body temperature.
2
Yongquan point
A simple way to find Yongquan point is to bend your toes downward, and a depression will be formed at the foot center, and the sunken place is Yongquan point.
massage method: massage once in the morning and once in the evening, and massage for 3-5 minutes each time. It is better to feel sore, and both sides alternate. You can also use moxibustion after soaking feet in warm water, and moxibustion at acupoints of both feet for 15-2 minutes.
efficacy: Yongquan point is invaded by moisture, which will lead to knee pain, rheumatism, general fatigue and edema. Pressing this point often helps to promote sleep, and has a certain curative effect on dizziness, insomnia, tinnitus, headache and low back pain caused by kidney deficiency.
3
Dazhui point
Location: bow your head, and the Dazhui point is under the bone that rises highest behind the neck.
massage method: lower your head, put your hands and fingers crossed at Dazhui point, and rub Dazhui point back and forth with your thumbs until Dazhui point is hot.
efficacy: Dazhui point is invaded by moisture, which is easy to cause shoulder and neck diseases such as shoulder and cervical pain and discomfort. Stimulating this acupoint can avoid the invasion of pathogenic wind, cold and dampness and improve immunity.
4
Shenque point
Shenque point is the navel.
massage method: massage the abdomen clockwise, or light moxa cone to moxibustion and fumigate acupoints; Or apply tsao essential oil to the abdomen and warm it with a hot water bottle; Or use a moxa box, light it and fix it on the abdomen for 2 minutes. Be careful not to get too hot.
efficacy: when this acupoint is invaded by moisture, it will cause spleen and stomach discomfort, abdominal distension and sticky stool, and women will easily cause gynecological inflammation, such as increased leucorrhea and unsmooth menstrual blood. The abdomen itself should be kept warm, and stimulating Shenque point is helpful to strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness and strengthen the body.
5
yinlingquan point
location: this point is located in the depression of the lower edge of the medial condyle of tibia, which is the confluence point of the spleen meridian of foot Taiyin.
massage method: massage mainly with points, 1 ~ 16 times each time, once every morning and evening, or moxibustion with moxa sticks for 3-5 minutes.
efficacy: if the acupoint is invaded by moisture, it will cause knee pain, heavy feet and poor walking. Stimulating this acupoint can achieve the effects of clearing away dampness and heat, dredging channels and activating collaterals, and help relieve discomfort such as abdominal distension and knee pain.
Warm reminder, there are many acupoints for eliminating dampness, and there are countless other acupoints and methods for health preservation. Don't be greedy. According to your physical condition, choose the one that suits you best and stick to it, and then go to recuperate the next one after this acupoint is penetrated. Don't be dazzled for a while, but you will still get nothing.
5. Eliminating dampness and strengthening the spleen, and massaging the "spleen-strengthening line"
Here's another simple and easy way to eliminate dampness and toxin at home. As long as you often push Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan, the wet poison will run away.
The method is: Push from Sanyinjiao point to Yinlingquan point (pushing forward is a supplement), and then push to Yinlingquan point along the bone edge, and push repeatedly. In the process of pushing, find the pain point or subcutaneous obstruction with a knot in one's heart, and press it slowly. You don't have to stick to the acupuncture points. If you feel the most pain, press it more.
Push it to stop the pain, and then the "spleen channel" will be opened.
once the spleen meridian passes through, excess water and dampness will be discharged smoothly. The spleen meridian discharges dampness through the bladder, so after pushing for a period of time, you will feel more urine, which is the performance of discharging dampness.
sanyinjiao point is the intersection of three yin meridians, which can mobilize the qi and blood of the liver, spleen and kidney to smooth the spleen meridian.
6. Holding piles in the health station: effectively eliminating cold and dampness in the body
Modern people, busy and fast-paced life makes most people unable to spare extra time for exercise. Here is a simple and effective health care method to relieve fatigue and eliminate dampness and cold: Holding piles in the health station.
the method is as follows: stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly raise your heels, and place your center of gravity at the front 2/3 of your feet, that is, Yongquan point, with your arms crossed around your chest and your whole body relaxed. Stand for 15 to 2 minutes.
You can do it while watching TV, every day. The stress parts of this movement are just the front and outer sides of the legs and the calf, which encourages the stomach meridian with much gas and blood and can promote the smoothness of human qi and blood; The force on the legs and stomachs just acts on Chengshan point (the best point for eliminating dampness in human body).
It can quickly and effectively relieve fatigue and dispel cold and dampness in the body.
These methods can be easily applied to life. Are they simple and easy? Let's remind everyone not to ignore them just because they look simple!
