Acute cystitis is a common and frequent disease of the urinary system, especially in women. Traditional Chinese medicine often classifies it as "heat and dampness in the lower urinary tract" and believes that the main pathogenesis is kidney deficiency. Massage is considered an effective treatment method. Below are two massage methods for treating acute cystitis, hoping to be helpful!
【Specific Methods】
First, locate the Zhongji point, which is a point one-fifth down from the line connecting the navel to the pubic bone. This point not only enhances energy but also has a special effect on the urinary system. Apply pressure with your fingers, exhaling slowly and pressing for 6 seconds, repeating this 24 times.
Zhongji Point
Location: 4 inches below the navel on the midline of the body. When locating the point, you can lie on your back. The Zhongji point is located in the lower abdomen, on the midline of the body. To find it, divide the line connecting the pubic bone and navel into fifths and locate it one-fifth up from the bottom.
Main functions: treating genital diseases, urinary diseases, frequent urination, urgency, physiological disorders, lack of energy, and cold sensation, etc. This point is one of the main acupoints on the Ren meridian. Related treatment methods on this site include: acupressure for treating cystitis, acupoint pressing method for treating circular hair loss.
Next, apply pressure to the Yongquan point, located in the central slightly inward depression of the sole near the toes, using the same method, pressing 10 times. Patience and persistence are necessary for acupressure treatment of cystitis, and the effect is particularly good.
Yongquan Point
Location: Located on the sole of the foot, in the depressed area at the front of the foot when curled, about one-third of the distance from the front end of the second and third metatarsal creases to the line connecting the heel and the front two-thirds.
Main functions: treating lung diseases, difficult bowel movements, urinary difficulties, and asthma. The operating method is direct needling of 0.5 to 1 inch.
Here I want to emphasize that in order to prevent acute cystitis, first, avoid holding urine. Second, drink plenty of water and eat fruits, such as watermelon. Urination itself can flush the urethra, and less urination can promote bacterial growth and lead to infection. Third, develop good hygiene habits. After urinating or defecating, women should wipe from front to back to avoid bringing bacteria from the vagina and anus to the urethra. It is also important to take regular showers, change underwear frequently, and keep the external genitals clean.
