The Benefits of Regular Finger Massage
For many office workers and students, sitting all day is a common occurrence. Especially for office workers, they sit from the start of work until the end, often facing a computer. This can easily lead to many health problems. So, is there a way to stay active while working? Let me introduce you to a finger massage technique that you can do while working.
Frequent finger massage has many benefits. By massaging the little finger, you can regulate and care for the heart. The heart is the only organ in the human body that does not develop cancer, but all cancers are related to the heart. Therefore, taking care of the heart and maintaining a good mood can prevent and treat all types of cancer.
Scientists have discovered that the heart can produce a life-saving hormone that can kill over 95% of cancer cells within 24 hours, and it also has excellent effects on other terminal illnesses. If we massage the little finger and also massage the happy reflex zone on the sole of the foot, the effect will be even better. Why is that?
The happier the mood, the more hormones the heart secretes. Conversely, when a person is in a state of pain, worry, depression, or other negative emotions, the heart almost completely stops secreting this hormone substance.
The Benefits of Regular Finger Massage and How to Massage Your Fingers
However, we need to be careful. If you massage the little finger for more than five minutes, you must press the ring finger, otherwise there may be some side effects.
The hand has six meridians that connect to various organs, tissues, and organs throughout the body, reflecting the health of the five internal organs. Gentle finger massages can achieve twice the result with half the effort, making it the simplest method of health preservation.
Finger Massage Method
1. Start by massaging the left hand. Press the thumb and index finger of the right hand on both sides of the left thumb, and hold for 10 seconds when it feels painful.
2. Squeeze the left thumb between the index finger and thumb of the right hand, press firmly, and hold for 3 seconds.
3. Repeat the same method on the right hand.
4. Massage intensity:
For most acupoints and reflex zones, there will be no effect without pain. Therefore, you need to stimulate them more forcefully and make them more painful. However, the force should not be too heavy, as long as there is obvious pain. When massaging, start gently and gradually increase the pressure until reaching the maximum tolerance.
5. Massage sequence:
For men, start with the left hand and then the right hand. For women, it's the opposite—start with the right hand and then the left hand. If there is not enough time, just massage the acupoints on one hand.
Preventing and Treating Diseases through Finger Massage
Massaging the thumb can relieve heart disease, allergic dermatitis, hair loss, and sore throat.
Massaging the index finger can relieve constipation, loss of appetite, stomach pain, and chronic gastritis.
Massaging the middle finger can relieve liver disorders, fatigue, increased appetite, tinnitus, and dizziness.
Massaging the ring finger can relieve colds, sore throat, headaches, frequent urination, excessive sweating, and cold uterus.
Massaging the little finger can relieve shoulder pain, back pain, irregular menstruation, eye fatigue, obesity, and insomnia.
Predicting Health by the Pain of Pinching Fingers
As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart. Even a little injury to the fingers can cause significant pain. We can also determine a person's physical condition by observing the condition of their nails or fingers. Let's try it out. Start by pinching the little finger and feel the sensation. Each finger represents a different part of the body and can predict different diseases.
Pain in the thumb: The Shaoshang point in the thumb is closely related to the lungs. If pressing this area causes severe pain, it may indicate lung problems.
Pain in the index finger: The Shangyang point related to the large intestine is located on the index finger. If pressing this finger causes pain, it may indicate constipation.
Pain in the middle finger: There is an acupuncture point called Zhongchong on the middle finger, which surrounds the heart on the Pericardium Meridian. If the heart cannot bear the heat and pressure, it will cause obvious pain.
Pain in the ring finger: It may indicate a sore throat or headache. There is a Guanchong point on the ring finger of the Sanjiao Meridian. If you have a cold and a fever, massaging this area can provide relief.
Pain in the little finger: It may indicate heart or small intestine problems. The fingertips on one side of the little finger have the Shaochong point, which is closely related to the heart. So, when experiencing a heart attack, pressing the tip of the little finger can help alleviate the symptoms. The other side of the little finger has the Shaize point, which is an acupuncture point of the small intestine. Pressing this fingertip can help with small intestine problems.
