In fact, massage can effectively cure snoring. So, how does massage cure snoring? Let's take a detailed look together!
Snoring is a common occurrence, but in life, many couples have conflicts due to their husbands' snoring. Snoring is caused by the vibration of soft tissues in the throat, such as the soft palate, uvula, and tongue root, when the air flow pushes the jaw during sleep. Now let's share how to use massage to treat snoring!
Snoring is a very common condition that not only affects one's own health but also affects others' rest, which can be embarrassing. In this regard, experts suggest that snoring can be cured through massage.
In traditional Chinese medicine, massaging acupoints is an effective way to stop snoring. Massage each acupoint for 5 minutes in the morning and evening, in the order of Yinlingquan, Fenglong, Zhongwan, and Tianshu.
Yinlingquan Acupoint
Yinlingquan acupoint is a combined acupoint of the spleen meridian's five transport points. Massaging this acupoint can regulate the spleen. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation, water metabolism, and the formation of phlegm. Therefore, Yinlingquan also has a good strengthening and phlegm-removing effect. Yinlingquan is located on the inside of the lower leg, below the inner condyle of the tibia.
Fenglong Acupoint
This acupoint is an excellent acupoint for phlegm-removal and cough suppression. Fenglong belongs to the Stomach meridian of Foot Yangming. It is a collateral acupoint of the Stomach meridian and is also connected to the Spleen meridian. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. If the spleen is deficient, water and dampness cannot be transformed, which can easily accumulate and form phlegm. Fenglong can regulate the stomach and spleen, and its effect in removing dampness and phlegm is particularly obvious. It is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat cough, asthma, and other respiratory diseases. Fenglong is easy to find, it is located on the outside of the lower leg, 8 inches above the outer ankle bone.
Zhongwan Acupoint
This acupoint is the meeting point of the Fu organs. It can treat various related diseases caused by spleen and stomach disorders and abnormal transportation and transformation. It has excellent effects in treating cough caused by lung disease and phlegm production caused by spleen deficiency. Zhongwan can promote lung function and remove phlegm, making it an ideal acupoint for treating snoring. Zhongwan is located on the upper abdomen, 4 inches above the navel.
Tianshu Acupoint
This acupoint is located in the middle of the abdomen, 2 inches from the center of the navel. When locating the acupoint, measure 2 horizontal fingers to the left or right of the center of the navel. Tianshu belongs to the Stomach meridian and is close to the stomach. Therefore, it has a good effect in regulating the stomach and intestines, nourishing deficiencies, and transforming dampness. Dampness can generate phlegm. When combined with Zhongwan, it can enhance the effectiveness of treating snoring.
Expert suggestions: When using massage to treat snoring, it is important to exercise daily. It is also important to develop good habits, such as smoking and drinking less. Adjusting one's sleeping position can also be a good method to prevent snoring. Combined with massage, it is very useful for the condition.
