Know your body.-the twelve meridians

I am a timid person. I have studied Chinese medicine for a long time and read many prescriptions, but I dare not use them. Always remember the old saying that "medicine is toxic in three parts", and be careful when eating. In the absence of symptoms, only one prescription will be used, and the compound prescription will not be used.

By chance, I met an old man who called himself an old Chinese doctor.

The old man was a masseur when he was young. At that time, I thought, can a masseur be an old Chinese doctor? It's like putting gold on your face. But I always insist on massaging my child's back. I don't know what acupuncture point it is, but the effect is quite good. If the child is still too excited to sleep that night, I will give him a massage, from head massage to back massage, then face massage and finally hand massage. After that, the child has fallen asleep, which is very soothing. At that time, I also read some articles about massage, which was really exciting, so I took the opportunity to make an appointment for a course of treatment, with a course of treatment of twelve days.

So I took a book and a massage acupoint map and experienced a large set of massage for twelve days. The so-called big massage is full-body massage, followed by the twelve meridians's massage and Ren Du's second pulse, totaling 14. The old man watched me study hard and was willing to teach, so he listened carefully and asked modestly while giving a massage. I have gained a lot in the past twelve days. Only then can I realize the wonderful use of massage, and it is not an exaggeration to attribute massage to Chinese medicine. The advantage of massage is that it is convenient to massage symptoms without taking medicine.

If you want to learn, you must have a clear understanding of the twelve meridians and Erjing of the human body, and you must also find the right acupoints and have certain skills. This is a long-term learning process.

I saw it today and forgot it the next day. Fortunately, the network is developed now, and mobile phone search is very convenient.

I personally saw the benefits of massage. Let me give you two examples.

The first example is that the child came back from school that day and had a high fever. The temperature measured by the thermometer is 39 degrees. So I found that the massage acupoints for high fever were Dazhui, Quchi, Waiguan, Hegu and Xuan Shi (ten fingers), and each acupoint was massaged for 200 times.

Except Dazhui point is an acupuncture point, Quchi point, Waiguan point and Hegu point are all left and right hands, and it takes ten fingers to massage ten places.

I massaged from Dazhui point to Xuan Shi point for two hours, and my fingers and arms were sore, but the effect was very good. When the temperature was measured again, it had dropped to 38.5 degrees, and the child was sweating slightly.

The child fell asleep and his temperature was normal the next morning. I gave my children my classic diet: a small bowl of glutinous rice porridge, and another bowl at nine o'clock. By noon, the child wanted to eat meat, and he was completely improved. It's amazing!

Another example is a stiff neck. When I got up one morning, my father said I had a stiff neck. I saw this acupoint just two days ago, just between the index finger and middle finger on the back of my hand. The sore part from the heel of the finger to the depression of the wrist is the stiff neck point. I pushed him about 100 times to let him feel it. He moved his neck and found that the rotation was normal. Ha, good again. I have to admit. This acupoint is really simple, easy to use and has no side effects.

In fact, think about it, the general program of meridians is qi and blood, and the general program of qi and blood is to eliminate all diseases. Most of the diseases we usually talk about are just symptoms, and the real reason lies in the disharmony between yin and yang in the body, the impassability of meridians and qi and blood.

In life, we will go to the hospital when we are sick and give our health to an unknown doctor. It is really a bold thing.

The reason why I want to write these words is to tell you that only you are a health expert, prevent diseases before they happen, don't be confused, and hand yourself over to a doctor you don't know at all when you have no choice.

If you meet a good doctor, you have accumulated virtues from your ancestors, but good doctors are hard to find, and quacks are everywhere. I think I still believe in myself and learn some knowledge of Chinese medicine to prevent problems before they happen.

I picked up the following knowledge from the internet. First, I'll watch it again by myself. The more I read, the better. I can't watch it a hundred times. Secondly, if it is fate that makes you read this article and learn something from it, that's really great.
