According to the statistics of the International Diabetes Federation in recent years, the number of adults with diabetes in the world has reached 382 million, and China has become the largest country in diabetes. This metabolic disease, known as the "disease of wealth", is gradually entering the lives of the general public, affecting our health, in fact, thousands of years ago, our ancestors had a clear understanding of diabetes.

Diabetes is known as "quenching thirst" in traditional Chinese medicine, and Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Plaque Essentials" in the Han Dynasty has a record: "thirsty to drink water" and "thirsty to drink, dry mouth".

In thousands of years of practice, traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of diabetes, and it also has very good effects, which can significantly improve the symptoms of patients and prevent the occurrence of diabetes complications. The stimulation of the Yin City acupoint has the effect of assisting in lowering blood sugar. Next, let's talk about this method of Chinese medicine to assist in lowering blood sugar - stimulating the Yin City acupoint.

Yinshi acupoint, also known as Yinding acupoint, from the "Acupuncture A and B Sutra", belongs to the Zuyang Ming Stomach Meridian, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the Yinshi acupoint has the function of regulating qi and relieving pain, warming the meridian and dissipating cold, and is often used to treat rheumatism and paralysis pain in the waist and knees, unfavorable flexion and extension, numbness of the lower limbs, paralysis, hernia and other diseases. Therefore, there is a cloud in "Acupuncture A and B Sutra": "Cold hernia pain, abdominal distention, impotence and lack of qi, the yin city is the master." ”

Modern research has shown that in addition to the above effects, Yinshi acupoint also has the effect of lowering blood sugar, and it is an acupoint that can assist in the treatment of diabetes.

The specific location of the Yin City Cave:

The Yin Shi point is in front of the thigh, when the anterior superior iliac spine is connected to the lateral end of the patellar base, 3 inches above the patellar base. When taking acupoints, we can use the upright sitting and bending knee position, the kneecap is what we call the patella, and the 4 horizontal fingers along the outer upper edge of the patella are the position of the Yin Shi acupoint.

Tap method:

In a sitting position, find the position of the Yin Shi acupoint in front of the thigh, and press the Yin Shi acupoint deeply down with the fingertips of the thumb, and be sure to use force when stimulating. When you feel soreness, hold for 5-6 seconds, then release, press again, and release again. Repeat this 40~50 times.

Percussion:

Hold a hollow fist and strike the Yin Shi acupoint, every 6 times, make a breath, 1 to 3 times for inhalation, 4 to 6 times for exhalation, and so on, each time 3-5 minutes. In addition, you can use a small leather hammer or massage stick to gently tap here.

Kneading method:

Press the thumbs and fingertips of both hands on the Yin Shi acupoints on both sides, and then maintain a certain amount of strength, rotating and kneading from the inside out. Rub on each side for about 5 minutes.

Moxibustion:

Set the moxa sticks on fire, and then aim the lit end at the Yin Shi acupoint, so that the skin at the acupuncture point feels mild but no burning pain. Moxibustion can be used for 10~15 minutes each time.

Of course, the method of kneading the Yin acupoint can only assist in lowering blood sugar, and cannot replace the drug, so the patient must not stop the drug casually. This is exactly what it is:

Red Luo gold belt tens of millions of horses, golden hairpins and jade threads embroidered clothes.

The sun rises to heaven and looks up to Fulu, and the pompous is tens of thousands of Bao Xin.

If the wealth turns into a gossamer, the sickbed stretches for a few days.

The foot is bright and the city is yin, and Ronghua is happy.
