Nowadays, the neck and shoulder problem is the "standard" of most modern people, once provoked, the light cervical and shoulder periphery pain, soreness, swelling, heavy hand numbness, dizziness, dizziness, and even palpitations.
Generally in this case, it is recommended that they do not "treat the headache and treat the foot", but look for more problems with the small intestine. Why?
1, the small intestine belongs to the fire, the most afraid of cold
In the eyes of Chinese medicine, the small intestine and the heart are mutually superficial, the qi and blood are connected, and their sex belongs to fire and yang, and its main function is to be enriched by the substance and the secretion:
1. Fertile substances
Refers to the small intestine receiving the initial crushing by the stomach, downward transmission of chyme, and these chymes to stay in the small intestine for a certain period of time, playing the role of a container, in order to facilitate further digestion.
2. Clear the turbidity
On the basis of further digestion of chymolite, the small intestine absorbs the subtle parts (nutrients) to the spleen, and transmits the food residue down to the large intestine to form feces, and the water penetrates into the bladder to form urine through kidney vaporization.
So, through what do these two functions of the small intestine achieve? In a word: it depends on the abundance of yang qi in the small intestine!
Moreover, this has been confirmed by modern medical research: the small intestine is the largest digestive organ of the human body, and the digestive enzymes in it are the catalysts for the chemical reaction of food, but the digestive enzymes need to be at the appropriate catalytic temperature (37 ℃ - 40 ℃) to work properly.
Why are modern people prone to indigestion? Because bad habits such as gluttony and cold, clothing exposure, and love to blow cold air consume the yang of the small intestine, for the small intestine that belongs to fire and yang, the lack of yang will cause insufficient kinetic energy, and the following symptoms will appear:
1, The body absorption function is relatively poor, always eat not fat or can not make up;
2, Diet a little careless will be stomach pain, diarrhea;
3. Cold around the navel, occasional pain;
4. Neck and shoulder stiffness and limited range of motion, especially after eating raw and cold food and drinking iced drinks and beers;
5, Panic, chest tightness, often depressed mood, and even depression.
2. The relationship between the small intestine and the neck and shoulders
For the above symptoms of the 1, 2, 3, 5, it is not difficult for everyone to understand, the difficult is the 4th. Many people think that the small intestine is a digestive organ, which is not compatible with the neck and shoulders. In this regard, xiaobian said: If you think so, then you are OUT!
Regarding the neck and shoulder problem, there is a big difference in cognition between Western medicine and Chinese medicine - Western medicine believes that the neck and shoulder problem is a bone problem; Chinese medicine believes that the neck and shoulder problem is a meridian problem. Different cognitions, the treatment method is different, so Western medicine focuses on correcting the bones, often resulting in more and more trouble; However, Chinese medicine focuses on dredging the meridians, the meridians are clear, the qi and blood are smooth, then the pain, stiffness, numbness, and even dizziness, dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms will disappear on their own.
However, it should be noted that there is a problem with the neck and shoulder, and it is not only possible to unclog the meridians of the neck and shoulder area, because the meridians in charge of the neck and shoulder are not in the neck and shoulder, but on the outside of the two arms. It's the small intestine!
When the evil of yin and cold invades the small intestine meridian, the meridians will not pass, the qi and blood will be blocked, and the section from the shoulder blade to the side of the neck will naturally cause the muscles to stiffen and stiffen the muscles because of insufficient qi and blood, just like the frozen soil that cannot be illuminated by the sun. You know, the full name of the small intestine meridian is the hand sun small intestine meridian, "sun" means the most abundant yang qi, just imagine, the original most need for yang qi places become cold, all kinds of annoying problems will definitely come to the door.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, massage, massage, moxibustion, you can not only know that in the neck and shoulders toss, dredging the small intestine meridian is the key!
3, the sun, the root of the neck and shoulder problem
As mentioned above, the small intestine belongs to fire, belongs to the yang, the small intestine meridian is the most abundant place of yang qi, so to eradicate the neck and shoulder problems, it is necessary to improve the situation that the small intestine is cold and the small intestine is not passed, the best way is to ascend the sun, naturally, moxibustion is the best choice.
So, how do you raise the sun? There are three main steps:
Step 1: Warm the yang of the spleen and kidneys
The small intestine belongs to the middle focus and is closely related to the spleen and stomach. When the small intestine is cold and the yang qi is deficient, the yang qi of the spleen and stomach and even the kidneys will also be implicated. Therefore, the idea of driving away the cold for the small intestine lies in how to warm the yang of the spleen and kidneys.
Yi Kidney Health Appetite Liquid Formula adopts Guizhou special grade wild prickly pear as the main raw material, and matches it with Epimedium to make its medicinal effect stronger, which can help old patients with chronic diseases to reopen the door of spleen and stomach absorption and resist aging; At the same time, it accelerates the metabolic function of the kidneys, which can make the effect of nourishing element turbidity more effective, so as to achieve faster recovery of diseases.
Step 2: Unclog the neck and shoulder area
In the neck and shoulder area, there are three main acupuncture points: shoulder well, neck clamp ridge, and large vertebrae.
1. Shoulder well:
The human body has a well, and the shoulder well is the wellhead of this well, and in order for the body to be easily smooth from top to bottom, it is necessary to clean this well frequently. We often use shoulder pinching to eliminate fatigue, in fact, shoulder pinching includes the range where the shoulder well is located.
In Tui Na, Chinese medicine always massages the shoulder well first, then massages other places, and finally ends with the tuina shoulder well. First tuina shoulder well, in order to make the whole body relax, facilitate acupuncture points, qi and blood mobilization, the effect can be good; The end of the tuina shoulder well is to tighten the qi and blood that was fully loosened earlier. It's like cleaning a well, first open the manhole cover, then clean it up as you want, clean it up, and then cover the manhole cover.
2. Neck ridge:
The pinch point is a meridian point, which can adjust the meridian qi of the pulse and the foot sun meridian to relieve local pain. For neck and shoulder problems, it is recommended to choose neck 3-neck 6 pinch the spine, and open 0.5 inches next to the posterior midline.
3. Large vertebrae:
The large vertebrae, also known as the "Yama King Death Lock", is located at the intersection, plays the role of carrying up and down, and the large vertebrae are the meeting of "three yangs" and "supervising the pulse", and the whole body yang qi meets here, and the moxibustion through the large vertebrae is equivalent to opening the total switch of the whole body yang qi. People who are not connected to the large vertebrae will not only not be able to rise up, but also block 7 meridians (large intestine meridian, small intestine meridian, sanjiao meridian, stomach meridian, bladder meridian, bile meridian, and chakra).
Step 3: Unclog the small intestine meridians
The key to effectively unclogging the small intestine meridian is to unclog its most easily stasis acupuncture points, mainly the following 3:
1. Tianzong:
"Acupuncture A and B Sutra": "Shoulder weight, elbow and arm pain can not be lifted, Heavenly Sect Lord", people with neck and shoulder diseases, pressing Tianzong will have a strong sense of pain, and spread around, the main role of Tianzong is to generate Yang Qi.
2. Shoulder Chastity:
This is a common blockage point of the small intestine meridian, which persists here, which will affect the local qi and blood distribution, and over time it will cause neck and shoulder pain, so shoulder chastity is the preferred acupuncture point for treating shoulder pain.
Shoulder chastity is the main treatment for shoulder blade pain, arm failure to lift, numbness in the upper extremities and various shoulder discomforts.
3. Houxi:
Houxi is the acess of the small intestine meridian, one of the eight veins intersecting, through the supervisor pulse, the main treatment of head pain, low back pain, finger and elbow arm cramp pain and other pain evidence.
