Yangchi acupoint is the original acupoint of the Sanjiao Sutra, and Sanjiao is the commander-in-chief of the five internal organs and six internal organs, and it is the main channel of the Qi of Yuanyang.

Let's first draw inferences from the story of Yangchi acupoint healing!

Last autumn, when the autumn breeze was just bringing a little coolness, a girl in her twenties came to see me, saying that she often had cold hands and feet, regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter. Sitting in the heating room in winter, others feel hot when they wear ordinary shoes, and their feet are cold when they wear thick warm shoes, and their hands are also cold; Even in summer, my hands and feet are cold every morning and evening or when it rains. I didn't pay much attention to this issue before, although my companions and my boyfriend always said that they were "cold-blooded animals", but I felt that it had no effect on my body anyway, so I thought it was a normal situation.

Later, when chatting with a female teacher in her 60s in her unit, she inadvertently talked about this topic, and the teacher touched her hand on the spot, and it was really like an iron bar, cold and cold! The teacher reminded her that it was a pathological phenomenon and that she had come to me.

I examined her pulse and tongue, and found that there was nothing obvious abnormal, but the hand was really cold, the weather was not very cold, and it was still in the afternoon, and the wrist was all icy, let alone the fingers. Since there is no disease, you can't take prescription medicine indiscriminately, but this symptom does need some conditioning and improvement to prevent the situation from aggravating. What to do? The human body has its own medicine, and the best, healthiest and most effective medicine is not outside the body, but the human body itself has its own belt.

So I taught her a method, go to the pharmacy and buy about 10 moxa sticks, and every day before going to bed, that is, around 90 o'clock in the evening, light the moxa sticks, and use it to burn the backs of the two wrists, and the small socket in the middle of the wrist horizontal stripe (you can feel it when you press it with your hand), that is, the Yangchi acupoint. When grilling, the head of moxa is about two centimeters away from the wrist, not only to feel the heat, but also to prevent burns, each hand to bake for 5~10 minutes each time (if there is no moxa, you can use a cigarette, a cigarette can just moxibustion one hand). If you insist on doing this every day, sleep after moxibustion, for 1 month in a row, you can see obvious results, and the symptoms of cold hands and feet will be greatly improved, and generally after two to three months, your hands and feet will no longer be cold for no reason.

Cold hands and feet are a very common condition in many people nowadays, and it can occur in both men and women, young and old, especially women and the elderly. And the above method can be said to be a "killer tool" to deal with cold hands and feet, for more than ten years, whenever I encounter a patient with a similar situation, I will use this trick, more than 90% of it can work, very effective. Including the young woman mentioned above, she was cured of cold hands and feet shortly after using my method.

Why does it work? This has to start with the root cause of the symptoms of cold hands and feet. Cold hands and feet, in the words of Western medicine, is caused by poor blood circulation, if the blood circulation is good, the heat is brought to the ends of the limbs, and the hands and feet will naturally warm up.

On this issue, the understanding of Chinese and Western medicine is fundamentally the same, because from the perspective of Chinese medicine, cold hands and feet are also caused by stagnation of qi and blood, poor circulation, and the inability of qi and blood to reach the ends of the limbs normally; In addition, their own yang qi is weak and insufficient, and their firepower is not enough, their hands and feet will often be cold, not only that, but such people also love to have chilblains on their hands and feet in winter. From the perspective of the dialectical constitution of traditional Chinese medicine, most of these people have yang deficiency constitution, and there is an obvious lack of yang energy!

"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: "The head is the meeting of the sun, and the limbs are the end of the sun." This means that the head is the place where the yang energy is the strongest, and the limbs are the places where the yang energy is weakest. According to the division of traditional Chinese medicine, the upper body belongs to yang, and the lower body belongs to yin, and in our body, the head is the highest place, the yang of yang, and among the 12 canons in our body, 6 yang meridians are all to the head. And what about the limbs? The limbs are the end of the sun, and the weakest place of yang energy. In addition, the limbs are the most difficult place for qi and blood to reach, of course, the root cause is actually due to the lack of yang qi. Traditional Chinese medicine says that "qi is the handsomeness of blood, qi is bloody, qi stagnation is blood stasis, and qi and blood are cured", your yang qi is insufficient, there is no power to promote the operation of blood, blood action is powerless to cause stagnation, and you will not be able to bring the calories converted from diet to the limbs, so the hands and feet will inevitably be cold, if the qi and blood are vigorous and smooth, the disease will be cured by itself! Therefore, Yang Qi is the foundation of human health.

What should I do if the yang energy on the human hands and feet is weak and insufficient? You have to start with the viscera and find a way to mobilize yang qi and replenish yang qi, and when yang qi is strong, your hands and feet will naturally not be cold for no reason. And the simplest and most effective way to regulate yang qi is the moxibustion yang pool acupoint method that I told the girl at the beginning of this article. Yangchi is a very important acupuncture point on the Sanjiao Sutra - the original acupoint. What does the original acupoint mean? The original acupoint of a meridian is the root of the qi and blood of this meridian, and it is the place where the original qi of the viscera gathers, and it is the best at regulating the function or lesions of the viscera. Therefore, the original acupoint of moxibustion of the Sanjiao Sutra is to mobilize the qi and blood of the entire Sanjiao Sutra, and through it to regulate the function of the Sanjiao, enhance the yang qi of the human body, and promote the "production" and "circulation" of qi and blood in our body.

Sanjiao is the commander-in-chief of human health, and is the general manager of managing and coordinating the five internal organs, and the production and processing of human qi, blood and heat are carried out in the "workshop" of Sanjiao. Everyone may have had this experience, when doing some physical activity or eating and drinking hot water, the body temperature will rise, this is actually because the heart and lungs of Shangjiao and the spleen and stomach of Zhongjiao play a role, accelerate the circulation of qi and blood, and produce new calories; On the contrary, after urinating, we sometimes shiver slightly, especially in men, and why is that? This is because the kidneys and bladder are responsible for excretion, and the process of urination releases heat, so the body will have a chilling and shivering reaction. And we stimulate the Yangchi acupoint in order to speed up the production and activity of qi and blood, so that we can increase heat to the body and relieve the "urgent need" of cold limbs.

Moreover, the "three-focal main qi" is the main channel for the operation of our human body's vitality. Traditional Chinese medicine says that qi belongs to yang, blood belongs to yin, and the qi of yuan yang is the foundation of the human body. Through the moxibustion of the original acupuncture points of the Sanjiao Sutra, we have strengthened the vitality of the body, so that the flow of the vitality is smoother, the cloth is more powerful, and it can effectively reach the end of the limbs, so as to play a good warming effect on the hands and feet. In this way, the cold hands and feet will naturally warm up as if they receive the bright spring light after the cold winter!

There are many ways to regulate yang qi through the yang pond acupoint, acupuncture, massage, and moxibustion, but moxibustion is the one with the best effect of tonifying yang qi and the most suitable for us ordinary people to operate. The so-called moxibustion is to use moxa leaves made of moxa leaves to ignite and then roast to give heat stimulation to the acupuncture points, and at the same time take the special medicinal properties of mugwort leaves to achieve the combination of "medicine points"! Friends who know some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine know that mugwort leaf itself is a very good pungent and warm traditional Chinese medicine, which is generally picked around the Dragon Boat Festival when the yang energy of the northern hemisphere is the most vigorous, and enters the liver, spleen and kidney meridians. And these three organs are the foundation of the body's qi and blood biochemistry, and the effect is naturally extraordinary. In addition, you use fire to light the moxa and then roast it, the fire is hot, so the effect of Wen Yang is even better.

Therefore, moxibustion yang pond is the best way to enhance yang energy. Especially for cold hands and feet, it is even more unparalleled. Because the Yang Chi acupoint itself is on the hand, the distance is the closest, and the conduction is the fastest, as soon as you moxibustion here, the yang energy will run to the fingers, and the effect is fast and obvious. In traditional Chinese medicine, the limbs correspond to each other, the left and right correspond, and the upper and lower correspond that means that the hands and feet correspond, and the qi and blood in your hands are smooth and warm, and the qi and blood on the feet are in place.

And this method also has a great advantage, that is, it enhances yang energy without causing yang hyperactivity and "fire", because it starts from the surface of the body, from the ends of the limbs, the weakest place of yang energy, and makes up for the real weakness, which is what you need most, it is a charcoal in the snow rather than the icing on the cake, and it will not add fuel to the fire. And you go to bed after moxibustion, sleep is the best way to nourish yin, so that you can achieve the harmony and balance of yin and yang, your hands are warm and warm, and your youth is always there.

In order to get the best recuperation effect, there is another key that must be mastered, that is, the grasp of the treatment timing. The best time for moxibustion is at night before going to bed, that is, at 21~23 o'clock. At this time, the torrent of human body's qi and blood just flows into the Sanjiao meridian, at this time, the qi and blood of the Sanjiao meridian are the most vigorous, the function is the strongest, and the effect of conditioning it is naturally the best. Because when the qi and blood flow into a meridian, the meridian itself is trying to solve its own problems, enhance its own energy, and collide with the stagnant place, and you push it in the back to help it, and the effect will of course be much better than usual. The acupuncture points on the Sanjiao Sutra, when you stimulate it, the effect is the best.

Here is a simpler way to prevent cold hands and feet, which is to soak your feet in hot water before going to bed. Some friends may want to say, why don't you just soak your feet, who wouldn't? Don't say it, the foot soaking method I'm talking about is really different from the usual foot soaking, and there are a lot of tricks that you need to master.

First of all, the water for soaking feet should be "ginger water (add four or five slices of ginger to the water each time to boil)" or "mugwort water (add about 10 grams of mugwort leaves to the water and boil)";

Second, do not use a general basin for foot soaking, but use a bucket at least 1 foot high, and prepare a pot of boiling water around you during the soaking process, and keep adding it to the bucket to keep the water temperature at a little hot foot feeling;

Third, soak for at least 15 minutes each time, until the head sweats slightly The effect is the best;

Fourth, it is best to go to bed within 10 minutes after soaking your feet, and pay attention to keeping your feet warm;

Fifth, we must insist on it every day, at least for more than one month, and do not stop at the beginning, and do not fish for three days and dry the net for two days. If you do all five of these things, then your foot soaking effect will be much better than the general soaking method!

We know that the limbs of the human body correspond to each other, and when you warm your feet, your hands will not be cold. Of course, this method does more than just warm your hands and feet. We know that the feet are the root of the human body, and it is the place where the meridians converge, and soaking the feet with ginger water or mugwort water has a very wonderful function of discharging cold and dampness, ventilation and blood, especially for women with dysmenorrhea and menstrual irregularities caused by cold condensation and stagnation of menstruation, and the elderly with inflexible legs and feet, and joint pain, it is a good prescription, and the effect is incomparable!

Of course, if you can combine this method of foot soaking with moxibustion Yang Chi acupoints, first moxibustion Yang Chi every night, and then soak your feet, and go to bed after completing the task, then this is really a trick to strengthen your body, not to mention any small problems such as cold hands and feet, cold and cold, any evidence of yang deficiency and weakness, qi and blood stagnation, and cold and damp condensation can not escape this "three tricks in a row". And this "three tricks" is suitable for all ages, both men and women, especially those who are aging and the elderly are weak and weak, if you can implement this "three tricks in a row" every day, then your health troubles will be saved by half, and you can live to the end of your life in a leisurely way!

A small hole, penetrating the mystery of heaven and earth. Many people always like to ask what acupuncture points can cure what diseases, and what method works best? In fact, the effect of each acupuncture point is endless, and you need to practice and understand; And what method works best is even more difficult to answer, because everyone is different, the physique is different, the root cause is different, the good method used on others may be used on you is a "bad method", and the "bad method" that cannot be used on others may be a good method for you. In other words, there is no such thing as a good or bad method, it depends on who you use it for, just as "trash is misplaced treasure"!
