Three Elements of Male Health Massage in Autumn
In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, saying goodbye to the hot summer and welcoming the dry and fiery autumn. Many people choose to focus on health in autumn, especially in terms of replenishing water. This is also an important part that cannot be ignored by everyone who pays attention to health. Do you know that the health benefits can also be achieved through acupressure? Let me introduce you to three tips for autumn health!
When resisting external invasions, the quantity and vitality of various immune cells are related to vitamins. Therefore, during the flu season in autumn, don't forget to take vitamin C tablets daily, or eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as kiwi and oranges.
To keep the respiratory mucosa moist, you also need to supplement vitamin A. Good sources are fennel, carrots, and cabbage.
1. Eat a small handful of walnuts or sunflower seeds regularly, as they are rich in vitamin E.
2. Take Lingzhi (ganoderma lucidum).
Lingzhi contains polysaccharides with anti-cancer effects and rich germanium elements, which can accelerate the body's metabolism, delay cell aging, and enhance the body's immune system. You can cook porridge with Lingzhi by cutting it into thin slices and boiling it in water, then cooking it with rice, or adding 5g of Lingzhi powder to cooked porridge.
3. Massage three acupoints.
By stimulating these three acupoints, you can improve local blood circulation, prevent the occurrence of anger and inflammation in autumn, and enhance immunity.
These three acupoints are Dazhui acupoint (located below the prominent vertebra when bowing), Quchi acupoint (1.5 inches outward from the outer end of the elbow crease formed by bending the elbow at a right angle), and Fengmen acupoint (two spinal segments below Dazhui, and one and a half finger widths to the left and right). You can use the fingertip of the middle finger to massage each acupoint for 2-3 minutes.
Reminder: Autumn passes quickly, and winter is not far away. Therefore, autumn health is particularly important. Acupressure is also an easy and convenient daily health method!
Acupressure Helps Women's Health
After the beginning of autumn, many people have physical problems, especially women. Today, I will introduce the use of traditional Chinese medicine acupressure to achieve the effect of health preservation. There are many acupoints in the human body, which are also excellent methods for preventing and treating diseases. If not utilized, it would be a waste. Let's take a look at some acupressure methods.
According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, from the beginning of autumn to the autumnal equinox is the long summer season. During this time, residual heat has not dissipated, and frequent rainfall leads to heavy dampness. Therefore, there is a saying that the "autumn tiger" is fierce. Heavy dampness may damage the spleen, so in the long summer season, it is necessary to invigorate the spleen. Through acupressure, we can help conquer the "autumn tiger".
To invigorate the spleen and prevent dampness, we must take care of the spleen and stomach. The long summer climate is hot, and the digestive function of the body is relatively weak, leading to symptoms such as loss of appetite and a bland taste in the mouth. The spleen and stomach are important organs in the human digestive system, and the digestion, absorption, and excretion of food are completed under the coordination of the spleen and stomach with other organs. When it comes to invigorating the spleen and nourishing the stomach, there are two acupoints that cannot be ignored, which are Zusanli and Yinlingquan. Yinlingquan is the main acupoint for invigorating the spleen, located on the inside of the lower leg, in the depression below the medial condyle of the tibia. Zusanli belongs to the stomach meridian. Stimulating it can regulate the circulation of meridians and activate the function of the stomach.
If you don't take care of yourself in the long summer season, you will suffer in autumn. For example, if you have been overeating and drinking too much cold beer during this period, you may not have any acute problems now, but when autumn comes, the evil qi will be vented. Therefore, it is advisable to drink less cold beer in the long summer season, as alcohol also tends to induce dampness and can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases.
After the long summer season, autumn has arrived. Autumn is associated with the lungs, and the lungs are opposite to the spleen. They prefer moisture and dislike dryness. In autumn, the air is dry, and the dryness in autumn is easy to damage the lungs and cause respiratory system diseases. Therefore, we should be cautious about autumn dryness. In autumn, we should eat more pears and other moisturizing foods. To nourish the lungs, we must first enhance the function of the spleen and stomach. In the Five Elements theory, the lungs belong to metal, and the spleen and stomach belong to earth. Earth gives birth to metal. There is an important health principle in traditional Chinese medicine, "when deficient, supplement its mother." Therefore, to solve the problems of the lungs, we must first nourish its "mother" - the spleen and stomach. The main acupoints for nourishing lung qi and moistening lung yin are Feishu, Tanzhong, Tiantu, Zhongwan, Zusanli, and Qihai. Therefore, autumn acupressure should take care of the spleen and stomach as well as the lungs.
