Sanjiao, which seems to be a mysterious and important concept in Chinese medicine, is actually an important channel in our body. It runs through the upper, middle and lower parts of our body, connecting the five internal organs, like a busy transportation network, ensuring that all parts of our body can communicate and cooperate smoothly. Once there is a problem with this network, such as a three-focal blockage, then our body will experience various discomforts, such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, etc.
Today, I will bring you a set of massage techniques for the three focal points, hoping to help you alleviate these symptoms and restore the harmony and balance of the body.
The reason for the three-focus failure
There are many reasons for the lack of focus, including external cold, uncontrolled diet, emotional disorders, etc. These factors can lead to poor qi in the body, which can affect the normal function of the trifocal body. For example, the external wind chill will hinder the operation of yang energy on the body surface, so that the qi of the three cokes will be blocked; Poor diet will damage the spleen and stomach, and then affect the transportation function of Sanjiao. Emotional imbalance will cause liver qi stagnation, affecting the qi leakage of Sanjiao.
Analysis of massage techniques
For the problem of trifocal blockage, we can use the following massage techniques for treatment:
1. Push the three points
The Tui Sanguan acupoint is located on the wrist and is one of the important acupuncture points in Tuina. By pushing the Sanguan acupoint, you can activate blood and dispel blood stasis, dredge the meridians, and thus improve the poor qi of Sanjiao. The specific operation method is: gently rub the wrist with the thumb or index finger, the strength is moderate, continue to massage for a period of time, and then gently push and press the Sanguan acupoint in the clockwise direction, repeat several times.
2. Pull the earlobe
Earlobe pulling is a commonly used technique in TCM massage, and it also has a certain effect on improving the function of trifocal care. By pulling the earlobe, it can stimulate the acupuncture points in the ear, regulate the function of the viscera, and promote the flow of qi and blood. The specific operation method is: use the thumb and index finger to clamp the earlobe, gently lift it upward, then relax, repeat several times, and then gently pull the earlobe in the clockwise direction to achieve the purpose of dredging the meridians.
3. Rubbing the abdomen
Abdominal rubbing is one of the basic techniques in TCM massage, which also has a significant effect on regulating the spleen and stomach and dredging the three-focal qi machine. By rubbing the abdomen, it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and improve digestive function, thereby alleviating the symptoms of trifocal obstacle. The specific operation method is: lie on your back on the bed, put the palm of your right hand on the left lower abdomen, fold your left hand on top of your right hand, gently rub your abdomen in a counterclockwise direction with moderate strength, continue to massage for a period of time, and then gently rub your abdomen in a clockwise direction, repeat several times.
4. Rub your back
Back rubbing is a commonly used technique in traditional Chinese medicine massage, which also has a certain effect on dredging meridians and harmonizing qi and blood. By rubbing the back, it can stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians on the back, promote the flow of qi and blood, and thus alleviate the symptoms of three-focal blockage. The specific operation method is: sit on the chair, use the left hand on the bottom, the right hand on the top, fold in front of the lower abdomen, the thumb of the right hand is buckled inward, the remaining four fingers are stretched out, the palm of the hand is inward, in the shape of a ten, stacked on the left hand; The middle finger of the left hand is bent, the first joint of the ring finger, little finger and index finger is pressed against the thumb of the left hand, and the remaining three fingers are stretched out, and the palm of the hand is outward, forming a tenth; Press the thumb of the right hand on the depression between the index finger of the left hand and the second joint to feel soreness; In the same way, with the left hand on the bottom and the right hand on the top, in front of the lower abdomen, the thumb of the right hand is pressed against the depression between the left index finger and the second joint, so as to feel soreness; Then put your right hand on the bottom and your left hand on the top, stack it in front of the lower abdomen, and press the thumb of the right hand on the depression between the index finger of the left hand and the second joint, so as to feel soreness; Repeat this action 3~5 times.
