Our hands are the second face of our body, and we can find corresponding positions of our internal organs on our hands. So, how can we scrape our hands to relieve and prevent common respiratory system diseases in winter? Today, I will share with you some knowledge about scraping. Let's take a look.
Scraping the Middle Finger to Assess Brain Health
The hands are a reflection of the whole body, and the first two joints of the middle finger correspond to the human brain's nervous system. Therefore, when our brain is fatigued, the nervous system is imbalanced, or there is a lack of yang energy in the brain, our corresponding fingers will lose their mobility. So, scraping the middle finger can stimulate our brain, promote blood circulation, and clear the brain's nervous system, thereby assessing its health condition.
Method to Assess Health by Scraping the Middle Finger
After applying scraping oil to the first and second sections of the back of the middle finger, use a scraping board or a horn comb to slowly scrape from the second joint of the middle finger to the fingertip. If the scraping board feels smooth and flat, it is normal. If it feels painful, uneven, or there are gravel-like or nodular substances, or if there are purple spots, it indicates brain fatigue or lack of oxygen.
Improvement Methods
Use a scraping board to gently scrape the entire head in the order from the side of the head to the top, focusing on the Fengchi acupoint at the back of the head. The scalp should feel warm after scraping, and pay attention to finding and scraping the painful points on the head. Regularly scraping the head and the corresponding head's nervous system can have the effect of health preservation, improving brain oxygen deficiency, preventing cerebrovascular diseases, and promoting blood circulation in the brain.
It is important to note that the best time to scrape the head is in the morning or when the brain is fatigued. It is not recommended to scrape before bed, especially for those with neurosis and insomnia.
What to Do for Brain Fatigue
1. Adequate Sleep: Sufficient sleep not only eliminates brain fatigue and improves learning efficiency, but also benefits the protection of brain tissue cells. Adequate sleep also helps consolidate acquired knowledge in the "memory warehouse" of the brain. Medical experts recommend that students should have 7-8 hours of sleep each day and take a 1-hour nap after lunch. It is not advisable to stay up late at night.
2. Moderate Exercise: Scientific and reasonable physical exercise can increase the brain's oxygen supply, improve the metabolism of brain tissue cells, enhance the excitability of the cerebral cortex, and promote memory and thinking abilities. Choose exercises with appropriate intensity, such as jogging, swimming, practicing Tai Chi, playing badminton, sitting in meditation, or practicing swordsmanship.
3. Listen to Music: When our brain becomes fatigued, we can listen to beautiful and pleasant music, which not only relieves brain fatigue and cultivates sentiment, but also improves physiological functions and promotes brain development. Listening to lyrical music can improve brain function and promote brain circulation.
4. Smell Fragrant Flowers: Place orchids, jasmine, and lilies in the study or learning environment to fill the space with a refreshing fragrance. This can make the mind fresh and energized, helping to improve brain function and eliminate fatigue.
5. Massage the Head: Spend a few minutes each day massaging the temples, Fengchi acupoint, and Baihui acupoint, or use your fingers to comb your hair. Massage can relieve brain fatigue, invigorate the spirit, and enhance memory.
Scraping the hands can unblock meridians, clear heat, promote blood circulation, and eliminate blood stasis. It has good effects on respiratory system diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, insufficient heart and liver blood, and other symptoms. Scraping the hands can judge the body's condition based on the amount of sha (red marks) and the presence of pain during scraping.
Therefore, it can be seen that scraping the hands not only has a health-preserving effect on the body, but also can detect the body's health condition. If there are any health risks, timely treatment can be sought.
Conclusion: From the above discussion on scraping the middle finger, we can see the knowledge about brain health. When we do hand scraping for health preservation, it promotes the circulation of qi and blood. After scraping, it is also recommended to perform active movements of the fingers by opening and closing them several times. This will enhance the effectiveness. You can give it a try!
