What are the top ten qi-invigorating acupoints?

Do you know which ten acupoints can invigorate qi? The following is what I arranged for you, I hope you like it!

First lecture on invigorating qi and acupoints: spleen acupoints

Spleen point is the point in the bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, located on the back of human body, under the spinous process of the eleventh thoracic vertebra, with two fingers wide on the left and right. Spleen point is an interesting name. You see, spleen is spleen, which means that this acupoint must have a lot to do with spleen. Why does an acupoint that has a great relationship with the spleen run to the bladder meridian? What if we find out? Hey? I also understand the meaning of the word, hey? Pass? Lose? , which means transportation. ? Spleen? It shows that the damp-heat of the spleen is transported to the bladder meridian. The bladder meridian is like the radiator of a car. The external heat in the human body goes up along it, and the cold liquid goes down along it. People who have a cold and fever will get better if they drink more water and urinate more. The reason is that the heat in the body radiates along the bladder meridian.

? Spleen point? It is responsible for dispelling damp-heat qi of spleen. Below we will say that the spleen has four fears, and fear of dampness is one of them. If the damp-heat in the spleen cannot be dispersed, the function of the spleen will be damaged, and the spleen is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Once the spleen is damaged, qi and blood will be weak. Therefore, spleen acupoint is one of the most important qi-invigorating acupoints in human body.

Spleen acupoints are like a big hub on the railway line. If this hub is not smooth, the whole railway will be paralyzed, and the damp and hot gas in the spleen will not be transported out. Over time, the whole person will have problems. So, how to ensure the normal function of spleen acupoints? The simplest method is: regular massage, regular cupping and regular moxibustion. According to the different seasons, the methods adopted should also be different. Cupping is best used in early spring and late autumn; Moxibustion is more effective in late summer and early winter. Xia Dong's two-season moxibustion can not only warm and tonify temper, but also dispel dampness. If cupping moxibustion at home is inconvenient, choosing massage is not only simple but also effective.

The best time for massage is around 8 o'clock every night, because you are running all day? Temper? It's already a little weak. At this time, removing waste gas and supplementing fresh air can relieve fatigue during the day and accumulate strength for the next day.

Press the acupoints of the posterior spleen meridian forcefully with your fingertips for 3 ~ 5 seconds each time, then put your hand on the spleen and stomach, first push it horizontally from right to left for 30 times, and then push it horizontally from left to right for 30 times. Note: When massaging, the palm should be close to the skin, and the downward pressure should not be too great.

Buqi Point Section 2: Zusanli Point

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the stomach meridian is the most vital and vital meridian of the human body, and Zusanli point is one of the main acupoints of the stomach meridian, which has the functions of regulating the spleen and stomach, invigorating the middle energizer, dredging the meridians, expelling wind and removing dampness, strengthening the body resistance and eliminating evil spirits. Stimulating Zusanli point can stimulate the biochemistry and operation of qi and blood.

Huangdi Neijing says:? Pathogen in the spleen and stomach leads to myalgia, while deficiency of yang leads to hunger. Lack of Yang Qi and excessive Yin Qi will lead to abdominal pain in the cold. Both yin and yang deficiency are more than enough, and both deficiency are cold and hot. They are all transferred to Zusanli. ? Among more than 360 acupoints in the human body, Zusanli is the first acupoint with health care function, so it is also called? Healthy? And then what? Live longer? . This point has the effects of strengthening the spleen and stomach, strengthening the body resistance, eliminating diseases and prolonging life. Pressing Zusanli point frequently can regulate the secretion of gastric juice, enhance the function of digestive system, improve human immune function and delay aging.

Has it been circulated among the people? Often moxibustion Zusanli is better than eating old hens? It can be seen how important Zusanli is to a strong body. Acupuncture or massage at Zusanli point can treat common diseases of digestive system, such as gastric or duodenal ulcer, acute gastritis and gastroptosis. It is especially effective in relieving acute stomachache, and has adjuvant therapeutic effects on vomiting, hiccup, belching, enteritis, dysentery, constipation, hepatitis, cholecystitis, gallstones, kidney calculi's colic, diabetes, hypertension, etc.

I'll teach you a few simple massage methods. Sticking to massage every day can prevent diseases and keep fit, and make people refreshed and energetic. Zusanli point is located below the external knee, and the four-finger depression is there.

Pressing Zusanli: Press Zusanli with your thumb or middle finger, and operate both sides at the same time. First, hold it for a few seconds, and then release it quickly; Then slowly hold down the force, and then quickly release it. When releasing, do not touch the skin with your fingers, and operate for 5 minutes in turn. Note that every time you press Zusanli point, you have to feel acupuncture-like pain and burning.

Knead Zusanli: Knead Zusanli points on both sides with thumb or middle finger. Press the acupoints on both sides with both hands and rotate in the same direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), and rotate in the opposite direction after 36 turns. Be careful not to rub too fast, keep breathing evenly and gently, drive the skin with your hands and fingers, and don't rub the skin on the surface.

Ironing Zusanli: Rub the palms of your hands and quickly stick them on Zusanli points on both sides. Stay for 5 ~ 6 seconds, rub your hands up and down and operate for about 5 minutes. At this time, the calf should feel warm. If you feel that the heat is not enough, you can extend the operation time. Exercise in this way for 2 ~ 3 weeks will enhance gastrointestinal function, not only improve sleep, but also make people refreshed and energetic, and many chronic diseases will be relieved to varying degrees. For people who are overweight and have severe cold and dampness in their bodies, the most suitable way is to use moxibustion at Zusanli, once 15 minutes, twice a day1~. If ginger moxibustion is used, the effect is better and it is not easy to burn. Generally, it is enough to pinch 5 ~ 7 sticks of moxa sticks.

My wife is also the chief physician of internal medicine in a big hospital in Beijing. She was very busy before she retired. One day, just after she came back from a business trip, she became seriously ill. Anxious for a consultation, she grabbed the mineral water on the table and took a few sips. That's great. After three or five minutes, my stomach began to hurt. I didn't go home until the consultation was over and I handed over the task to the doctor on duty. When I got home, I saw that she was pale and slightly bent. I asked her if she had a stomachache, so I told her to sit down quickly and help her roll up her trouser legs and massage Zusanli, first pressing the left side and then pressing the right side. Pressing the acupoints hard will make her feel particularly painful and sour. In fact, for ordinary people, the pain of accurately pressing acupoints is unbearable, but once it feels worse than itching and pain, it means that the acupoints are right. After 15 minutes of massage, her stomach has a faint hydrodynamic sound, similar to the purring sound when she is hungry. At this time, her expression has obviously relaxed and her stomach doesn't hurt much.

Buqi Point Section III: Zhongshan Point

Zhongshan point is one of the main acupoints of Renmai. If you have chest tightness, cough and asthma, vomiting, palpitation and other symptoms, as long as you massage Zhongshan point, you will get good results immediately.

One night in the middle of the night, our downstairs neighbor Lao Zhang had an asthma attack. His son came to see me. When I arrived at his home, he was short of breath and pale because he had a bad cough. If we don't take some measures quickly, people will be in danger, so I quickly find the Zhongshan point on his chest, press it rhythmically for dozens of times, and then massage several points such as lung point and Neiguan point. After a few minutes, his asthma finally subsided and he slowly recovered. In fact, Lao Zhang suffers from chronic bronchitis and is a heavy smoker, so he often gets sick. Pressing Zhongshan acupoint can effectively relieve cough and asthma of patients with chronic bronchitis, broaden chest and smooth qi, and improve discomfort symptoms.

For patients with liver disease, it is more miraculous to massage this acupoint frequently.

Why does Zhongshan acupoint have such a magical effect? Zhongshan point should be said to be a very special point, located at the midline of the human chest and the midpoint of the connecting line between the two nipples, belonging to any one of the eight strange meridians. Huangdi Neijing says? Who is in the middle, Qi Hai? ,? How happy am I to make it official? That is, the cave halfway up the mountain is the sea that contains all the true qi. So, massage this point and you can open it? Air lock? Let the qi of the whole body flow unimpeded. When you encounter unhappy things, massaging this acupoint can also make the depressed mood normal. If you are in a bad mood, your breath can't reach your feet, your body can't reach your head, and your body can't move smoothly, of course you will feel irritable and chest tightness. At this time, as long as you massage the acupoints of Zhongshan, you can naturally relax your chest and feel comfortable.

Massage Zhongshan point generally with the thumb or middle finger, and the intensity should be slightly painful. Every massage 10 second, 6 times is 1 time, massage 3 ~ 5 times a day. In order to enhance the effect, massage should not use brute force. When a friend with good physique massages, the intensity can be slightly larger; Friends who are in poor health should move gently.

Female friends massage this acupoint, which also has a certain breast enhancement effect. If the postpartum milk is insufficient, you can also massage this acupoint frequently.

It is the lowest point of the whole body and the first point of the kidney meridian. Huangdi Neijing says:? The kidney comes from the spring, and the spring is full of heart. ? It means: the qi of kidney meridian, like source water, originates from the foot, gushes out and irrigates the whole body. Therefore, Yongquan point is beneficial to essence, kidney and five internal organs. Yongquan point plays an important role in human health, disease prevention, treatment and health care.

Put the four fingers together except the thumb, and take a horizontal line in the middle of the middle finger as the standard. What is the total width of four fingers? Three inches? .

Moxibustion lasts for 15 ~ 30 minutes every time, and moxibustion every other day 1 time,1time every month.

Buqi acupoint Section 6: Qihai acupoint

Qihai point is an important point for invigorating qi. In the Qi Sea, the water vapor in the pulse absorbs heat and then vaporizes and expands, thus becoming a complete gas. Therefore, the point is like the sea of qi, hence the name of the sea of qi.

What did the seniors have? Warm your whole body with a little air? It is said that Qihai point has the functions of warming yang and benefiting qi, eliminating dampness and regulating qi.

Qihai point is about an inch and a half below the navel. Chinese medicine believes that this acupoint is the center of the human body and the source of qi, from which the true qi of the human body is born. Therefore, Qihai points often have the effects of warming yang and benefiting qi, strengthening the body resistance and consolidating the foundation, and tonifying yuan and deficiency. We often say that Xiadantian actually refers to an area centered on Qihai point.

Huangdi Neijing says:? What's wrong with keeping the righteousness inside? ,? Evil gathering leads to weak qi? . Speaking of evil, let's talk about wet evil first. Wet evil often plays an important role in the process of disease. If there is dampness in the body, it will block the qi movement and diseases will occur. As the key point of evaporating yin in human yang, Qihai point is very important for various diseases caused by dampness and qi stagnation. Such as abdominal pain around umbilicus, edema and abdominal distension, abdominal distension, Shui Gu's failure to lift, constipation, nocturnal emission, impotence, hernia, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, postpartum lochia, retained placenta, asthenia of dirty qi, emaciation, lumbago, anorexia, nocturia, and infantile dysplasia.

Then, press counterclockwise with the left palm, such as front massage 100 ~ 200 times. The movement should be gentle and slow, and you can feel the blood flowing and relaxing in your body.

Buqi Point Section 7: Taixi Point

Taixi point is located in the depression between the medial foot, the posterior part of the medial malleolus and the heel tendon, and it is one of the main points on the kidney meridian of Foot Shaoyin. Taixi point is the original point of kidney meridian, that is, the place where the vitality of kidney resides, so Taixi point is a big tonic point, which has the functions of nourishing kidney yin, benefiting kidney qi, strengthening kidney yang and regulating uterus. Symptoms caused by kidney deficiency, such as low back pain, backache, dizziness, tinnitus, alopecia, loose teeth, asthma, sexual dysfunction, habitual abortion, etc. You can achieve unexpected curative effect by stimulating this acupoint.

Deficiency of kidney yin? Caused by pharyngeal diseases. If you swallow while pressing Taixi point, you can replenish kidney qi, and then your condition will be relieved.

Two years ago, I once treated a patient, a lesbian in her thirties, who had enuresis at a young age. What bothers her most is that she can't hold her urine. She will be incontinent if she moves a little. She can't even cough loudly, let alone laugh loudly. After diagnosis, she was found to be unable to stop astringency and shrink urine because of weak kidney qi. I didn't prescribe medicine for her. I pulled out a vacuum jar on the kidney meridian point on her back and rubbed the left and right Taixi points 10 minutes. When I got home, I told her to treat herself in this way, and told her that if she persisted for 20 days, it would have unexpected results. As a result, within a week or so, a big blister was pulled out of her kidney point, and Taixi point was also swollen and painful. In fact, the blisters pulled out and the swelling and pain of acupoints are all an onset process from the inside out. It shows that there is something wrong with the body, but it has achieved certain curative effect by cupping and pressing acupoints. Twenty days later, her enuresis was completely cured and has not recurred so far.

Such as headache, top-heavy, hemorrhoids, hypertension, hypotension, hangover, dizziness, insomnia, anxiety and so on. Even for healthy people, regular massage of Baihui point can refresh the mind and enhance memory. For many patients with low blood pressure, I often advise them to massage Baihui point by themselves after returning home, with their thumbs and abdomen, with moderate intensity. Note that when they massage, they don't use their fingers, but exhale, sink their shoulders, and use their arms and fingers. Massage 50 times clockwise and counterclockwise, 2 ~ 3 times a day, and massage for about 20 days will have an effect.

Buqi acupoint Section 9: Lung fat

The lung meridian points are located on the back, under the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra, and open sideways 1.5 inch. The lung governs the qi of the whole body. Lose? , has the meaning of menstruation. Therefore, lung points have the functions of regulating lung qi, tonifying deficiency and clearing heat.

Every woman wants to have fair and beautiful skin, but with the increase of age, some freckles and buckwheat skins often appear on the faces of middle-aged women. In order to get rid of these spots, some female friends have exhausted various methods, such as going to a beauty salon, laser freckle removal, and using high-end cosmetics, but the results are not satisfactory.

Buqi point Section 10: Hanging Bell Point

The hanging clock point is located on the lateral side of the calf, 3 inches above the lateral ankle tip, and at the front edge of the fibula, belonging to the gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang. Hanging bell is also called medullary meeting and broken bone. As the name implies, it is closely related to bone marrow, and it is specialized in collecting human bone marrow and has therapeutic effect on bone marrow-related diseases. In addition, there is the Hui point, which is characterized by a point connecting several meridians, and its position is very important.

Old people are particularly prone to stiff neck when they sleep. If they are not careful, they will get stiff neck. For several days in a row, their necks can only keep one posture, which makes them very uncomfortable. Because the elderly are weak, qi and blood are weak, once the sleeping posture is improper, the pillow is too high or too low, the muscles on one side of the neck are overstretched for a long time, the local qi and blood are out of balance, and cold pathogens take advantage of it, resulting in blood circulation disorder affecting the excretion of metabolites, and the neck muscles feel pain and stiffness. Xuanzhong point is the best point to treat stiff neck. Because it governs the marrow, and the marrow is connected with the bone, it has a good regulating effect on stiff neck caused by weakness and qi-blood imbalance.

After the stiff neck, you can feel the relaxation and relief of the neck in just ten minutes by rolling, kneading, pinching and pushing the points in the air. Moreover, tapping the clock often has the effect of lowering blood pressure. When it comes to invigorating qi, many people naturally think of ginseng. Yes, ginseng is indeed the king of Qi. Chinese medicine has a famous prescription called Shen Du Decoction. There is only one medicine in this prescription? 30 grams of ginseng and 30 grams of brown sugar. I remember a long time ago, before I entered Zhongnanhai, one day, the old lady living next door came to call me in a panic. Dr. Hu, please have a look! ? I asked:? What happened? The old lady said incoherently, the daughter-in-law fainted. ? When I went to her house, my daughter-in-law was lying in bed, pale and fainted. The family cried and was helpless. It turned out that the daughter-in-law of this family lost too much blood after delivery and her body was greatly weakened. I asked the old lady to go to my house to get ginseng, brown sugar and a bowl of ginseng chicken soup. After a bowl of ginseng soup, she woke up slowly and the whole family breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ginseng is a good medicine for invigorating qi and strengthening yang. But ginseng is not suitable for everyone. In fact, many inexpensive foods around us have the effect of invigorating qi. How to choose the food for invigorating qi? I'm here to tell you a secret, that is, food grown in water and food born in soil have the function of invigorating qi. Because these foods absorb the most earth gas. Traditional Chinese medicine treats food differently from western medicine. Western medicine only analyzes the ingredients of food, while Chinese medicine observes the performance of food. Traditional Chinese medicine can judge the function of food according to its growth environment, growth time and shape. For example, an earthworm lives in the soil, and it can walk freely in the soil. Therefore, Chinese medicine has made earthworm a blind medicine called earthworm. The idea of traditional Chinese medicine is that since earthworm can walk freely in the soil, it will definitely have the function of dredging meridians and removing silt from human body. Sure enough, earthworm does have the effect of dredging collaterals and removing silt. Patients with blood stasis in the body drank dragon water, and the blood stasis slowly dispersed. Pangolin, for example, understands more than half of the name. It has a strong ability to travel underground. After being made into traditional Chinese medicine, it has the main functions of expelling blood stasis, resolving hard mass, treating arthralgia and dredging collaterals.
