Steps:

1. Knock your teeth:

After waking up in the morning, don't talk about living, calm your mind, get rid of other thoughts, relax your whole body, close your mouth and lips, unite your mind, close your eyes, and then make your upper and lower teeth knock each other rhythmically, clanging and sounding for unlimited times. At the beginning of exercise, you can tap about 2 times. With the continuous progress of exercise, you can gradually increase the number and intensity of tapping teeth, generally 36 times is better. The strength can be measured according to the health of the teeth. This is to complete a knock.

2. Swallowing body fluid:

From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, after percussion, it should be supplemented by "red dragon stirring Tianchi Lake", that is, after percussion, stir with your tongue against the upper and lower gums and tooth surfaces in the cavity, with gentle and natural force, first up and down, first inside and then outside, stirring for 36 times, which can massage the gums, improve local blood circulation and accelerate the nutritional blood in the gums. When you feel that body fluid (saliva) is produced, don't swallow it and continue to stir it. When the saliva gradually increases, put your tongue on the upper palate to gather saliva, gargle your cheeks with saliva several times, and finally swallow it slowly in three times.

3. Time and frequency

It is a complete "health care method", and it is better to knock your teeth ten times every time, ten times every morning, noon and evening, and it is better to do more. Among them, knocking teeth in the morning is the most important, because people will loosen their teeth after a night's rest. At this time, knocking teeth not only consolidates gum and periodontal tissue, but also excites dental nerves, blood vessels and dental pulp cells, which is of great benefit to dental health.

Extended information:

The method of "tapping teeth and swallowing body fluid" is one of the important health preserving techniques in traditional Chinese medicine. The ancients believed that good teeth made people healthy, and good health made them live longer. According to documents, Tao Hongjing, a physician in Liang Wudi 14 years ago? , over eighty years old? , teeth tight intact? , strong body? His main fitness method is knocking his teeth? He thinks that "teeth are the bones and muscles"? Will the teeth be strong and strong? , refreshed. Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, advocated "three hundred times in the morning".

The health-preserving function of chewing teeth and swallowing body fluid can be summarized as follows:

1. Strengthening the spleen: the spleen and stomach are the "acquired foundation, the source of qi and blood biochemistry." "All diseases are caused by the failure of the spleen and stomach" (Li Dongtan's Spleen and Stomach Theory, Spleen and Stomach Rise and Fall Theory). Tapping teeth can strengthen the spleen and stomach in two aspects: first, tapping teeth can strengthen teeth. With healthy teeth, food is easy to be chewed, and the stomach burden is reduced, thus nourishing the stomach; Second, the spleen's "salivation in fluid" and the stomach's exterior and interior, and salivation in mouth is a light and thin part of saliva, which has the function of helping food digestion. Biting teeth produces saliva, which helps the stomach to "decompose water (food and drink)" and the spleen to "transport and clear up" (turning Shui Gu into subtle substances and "irrigating the four sides" and dispersing the whole body), reducing the burden on the spleen and stomach and achieving the purpose of strengthening the spleen and stomach.

2 Bushen: Kidney is the "innate foundation" and the source of life. There are two mechanisms for tapping teeth to strengthen the kidney: first, "the tooth is the standard of the kidney" ("The Origin of Miscellaneous Diseases, the Origin of Mouth, Teeth and Lip and Tongue Diseases"), which is nourished by the essence in the kidney, and the essence in the kidney is abundant, so the teeth are firm and not easy to fall off; If the essence in the kidney is insufficient, the teeth are easy to loosen or even fall off early. Whether teeth are healthy or not is one of the signs of kidney health. Tapping teeth can strengthen teeth and replenish kidney essence, so it can strengthen kidney. Second, the kidney is "saliva in the fluid", and saliva in the mouth is the thicker part of saliva. It is called "golden law" to stimulate saliva by knocking teeth, also known as "jade liquid", and "fluid" passes through "essence" and is transformed by kidney essence, so it can nourish kidney essence without spitting, so it can strengthen kidney.

3 strengthening bones and benefiting brain: the kidney dominates bones, and "teeth are the rest of bones". Teeth and bones come from the same source and are nourished by kidney essence. Tapping teeth can strengthen the kidney, fill the kidney essence, benefit the bones, and make the bones firm if it is carried out persistently, so it can strengthen the bones. "Su Wen Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun" said: "Kidney gives birth to bone marrow", while the brain is the marrow sea, and the essence in the kidney is full, then the marrow sea is nourished and the brain is well developed, and its function as a "smart house" can be fully exerted; On the other hand, the kidney is deficient in essence and qi, so the marrow sea is insufficient and the nutrition is lost. Chewing teeth can strengthen the kidney and make the kidney full of essence, so it can strengthen the brain.

4 hearing and seeing clearly: "coffin pulse degree" says: "kidney qi passes through the ear, and kidney harmony can make the ear smell five tones." The kidney is full of essence, and the marrow sea is nourished, so the ears are alert; Deficiency of essence and qi in kidney, tinnitus or even deafness due to malnutrition in medullary sea. In addition, "the kidney is hidden by the essence of the five zang-fu organs" (Su Wen Gu Qian Naive Lun), and "the essence of the five zang-fu organs is focused on the eyes" (The Theory of Coffin and Great Confusion), and the eyes can distinguish five colors when the essence is full. Tapping teeth can fill the kidney essence, so it can be clever and clear.

5 Beauty and hair care: Tooth tapping can activate facial muscles, strengthen facial blood circulation, improve the nutrition of facial skin, and then beautify the face. The growth of hair depends on Jingxue. When Jingxue is full, the hair is long and shiny. If the essence and blood fail, it will turn pale and fall off. Kidney stores essence, "its flower is in the hair", and knocking teeth can make kidney essence full and flourish.
