Moxibustion is a must.

The ancients compared Yang to the sun. If there is no sun in the sky, then the earth is dark and unknown, and nothing can grow. Therefore, the operation of heaven and earth must have the sun.

However, the yang of human body must be reconciled to consolidate its protective function, otherwise it will attract the invasion of pathogenic factors.

Huangdi Neijing said

"If the sun is the sun, if the sky and the sun lose their position, they will lose their lives."

Therefore, maintaining yang qi is the basis of health care and treatment.

What is Yang?

We often hear people say that tonifying yang, strengthening yang and supporting yang, so what is yang?

Yang of human body is everywhere in the whole body. According to different distribution and characteristics, it can be divided into five qi: primordial qi, ancestral qi, nourishing qi, defending qi and middle qi, which are collectively called Yang Qi.

In thousands of years of Chinese medicine culture, yin refers to the human body, and yang refers to the energy that the human body has. A person's life is a process of yang decline. If the body has no yang, it becomes an empty shell and will die.

In Huangdi Neijing, Su Wen said: "Yang is defensive and exterior is solid", which means that the human body has the ability to resist external evils, and this ability is Yang.

How is the yang consumed?

A combination of work and rest will hurt the yang.

A 23-year-old student nurse, due to the disorder of biological clock, has insufficient yang. The main symptom is "no matter how long you sleep, you are sleepy when you wake up every day".

After the doctor's careful inquiry, I found out the cause of the female nurse: I work night shifts at both ends of the day and am always busy until two or three in the morning.

Work and rest schedule is contrary to the law of the rise and fall of yang, and the yang in the body will be consumed quickly, but if the yang is insufficient, people will have no spirit, so female nurses will still feel tired and sleepy even if they sleep until noon every day.

Second, overwork consumes Yang.

Strenuous exercise and overwork will also accelerate the loss of yang. The yang in the human body is dynamic, but when people do strenuous exercise, the yang will diverge outward.

Whenever the patient is tired, he will have a fever. Experts believe that the patient has internal injuries and fever. In Huangdi Neijing, it is said that "those who are yang and tired will be Zhang", and Zhang means prancing.

Chinese medicine advocates keeping in good health by quietness, especially in the evening, at night or in autumn and winter, when yang is stored, strenuous exercise should be avoided.

Three overeating leads to cold and yang deficiency.

It is hot in summer, and many people have the habit of drinking cold drinks and eating cold food. Sun Yang begins to sprout in spring and gradually moves towards the surface of human body.

In summer, the yang is the most vigorous, and the yang in the human body is basically distributed to the body surface. If there is less yang left in the body, the ability to resist diseases will be weakened. Eating cold food at this time is easy to cause physical discomfort.

Many young people are physically exhausted. Analyze the reasons. One is that they study hard and think too much; Or work pressure, anxiety and tension, leading to dark temper, lost support the day after tomorrow; Second, I refuse to go to bed early.

Return to Yin in the evening, meet with Yin, and accumulate strength for the rise of the next day. If you stay up too late, Yang Can can't be cloudy, so it will be wasted outside, so staying up late is the most yang-consuming, and it will be very poor.

Moxibustion is very important for nourishing yang and selecting points.

Mingmen point: the hiding place of kidney yang

Waist and knee weakness, edema, male impotence, female infertility due to palace cold, etc. Are symptoms of kidney-yang deficiency. My hands and feet will be cold in winter, so I can't sleep warm. At this time, it is necessary to warm the kidney and tonify the yang.

Kidney is the congenital foundation and the root of yang pulse. Where is the kidney yang? It's in the Ming doorway. As the saying goes, "a silly boy sleeps on a cold kang and has strong firepower." The firepower mentioned here is the real fire hidden in Mingmen, which is called Mingmen fire.

The life gate is on the median line of the back, between the two kidneys at the waist. Moxibustion at Mingmen point, just like "fanning the wind and igniting", can generate kidney yang and let the fire of kidney yang follow the meridian. Usually, you can massage Mingmen with your palm, because Laogong point in the palm is a fire point, which has the function of "adding fire to Mingmen".

Baihui point: the meeting of the hundred veins in Quanyang

Baihui point, the Du meridian point, is located at the intersection of the midline of the head and the connecting line between the two ear tips, that is, the center of the head.

Baihui point: the place where the weather is open to the outside world and the yang is the highest. Baihui point is located in the center of the head and is the highest position in the human body. According to the yin-yang theory of traditional Chinese medicine, Baihui point is a place where the weather can pass. The sky belongs to the sun, so Baihui point, which is connected with the weather, is the most yang-nourishing part of the human body.

Baihui point is condescending, and it can receive cosmic energy upward, and it can communicate with all kinds of qi and blood downward. Therefore, moxibustion at Baihui point has the functions of inducing resuscitation, strengthening yang and relieving depression.

Baihui point: it connects the inner medullary sea and regulates the brain and the whole body. The brain is the medullary sea and is the fundamental function of human mind. Part of my mind is under Baihui and above Fengfu.

Baihui point belongs to the Du meridian, which is the "sea of yang meridian". It manages the yang meridian of the whole body, and the yang of the whole body should gather in the Du meridian. Yang has the function of nourishing the medullary sea, and the Du Meridian and Bladder Meridian which meet at Baihui reach the brain directly, so Baihui point plays an important role in regulating the medullary sea. In addition, Baihui point is a place where many meridians of the human body meet, which can access the yin and yang veins of the whole body and connect the large and small meridians of the whole body, so it also plays an important role in regulating the functional state of the whole body.

Therefore, frequent moxibustion at Baihui point can drive most of the meridians and acupoints of the human body, which is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly friends who are gradually weakening.

Because Baihui point is the ancestor of hundreds of veins, stimulating Baihui point can mobilize the hundreds of veins of the human body, and "four or two can pull a thousand pounds", which plays a role in connecting the whole body with one point.

Dazhui point: the yang of the subject

Many friends know dog days moxibustion and Sanjiu moxibustion, and Dazhui point is the most commonly used point in moxibustion. Dazhui point! Also known as the deadlock of Yan, it is the crossroads of the human body and has the function of connecting the preceding with the following. If the spine is blocked, it will block seven meridians.

The ancients compared the yang of human body to the sun in the sky. The role of natural moxibustion is to supplement the body's yang, and Dazhui point is an important channel connecting the body and the head. Moxibustion at Dazhui point is like recreating a "small sun" for the human body, so it is very effective for people with cold body and poor immunity.

Dazhui point is the highest point of the back spine and the intersection of Du meridian and Sanyang meridian, so the yang is sufficient. Moxibustion on Dazhui point or rubbing Dazhui point by hand at ordinary times can play a very good health care role.

Guanyuan point: an important point to replenish vitality

Guanyuan point is the intersection of Zusanyin and Renmai, and it is also located in the lower jiao, where true yin and true yang are locked. Therefore, moxibustion with this warm gas can go directly to Jinggong and help Yuanyang.

Yuanyang, the true yang of the whole body, is the motive force of yang activity in the internal organs. It can also be said that it is the source of the whole body yang, and the source is long branches. Continuous moxibustion on Guanyuan can warm abdomen, strengthen Yuanyang, tonify kidney essence and benefit bone marrow.
