What are the benefits of massaging the sun blood

The temple is the most important acupuncture point in our human body, and it is an acupuncture point that everyone is familiar with since childhood. When we were still in school, there was a section of eye exercises in the school about the temple, which shows the importance of the temple. Let us now review the location of the temple that we learned in school days, and then learn some specific knowledge about the temple.

The temples are in front of the auricle, on both sides of the forehead, and above the extended line of the outer corners of the eyes. The temple is called the "extraordinary meridian point" in traditional Chinese medicine, and is also one of the earliest "death points" listed as a vital part in various martial arts boxing manuals.

It is recorded in Shaolin Kung Fu that if the temple is hit, "the person may faint at the least and die at the worst." Modern medicine has proven that hitting the temple can cause a person to faint temporarily or cause a concussion, resulting in loss of consciousness.

The temple is the weakest part of the skull bone.

The location of the temple is the intersection of the parietal bone, frontal bone, sphenoid bone and temporal bone, which is called the "pterion" or "pterion suture". This is where the skull bone is thinnest and the bone is fragile. The skull is a hard bone plate that protects the brain. The thickness of the skull bone plates varies from place to place, with an average thickness of 5 mm and the thickest being 1 cm. The bone plate at the temple is only 1-2 mm thick, which is the weakest part of the skull. It is easy to fracture if hit violently. Fractures can directly affect brain function.

2. There are many sources of bleeding deep in the temple

This area of ​​the brain is rich in blood vessels and therefore provides numerous sources of intracranial hemorrhage. The middle meningeal artery originates from the internal maxillary artery, runs upward along the squamous part of the temporal bone outside the dura mater, and branches into the anterior and posterior branches of the middle meningeal artery at the squamous part of the temporal bone at the temple. At the same time, the middle meningeal vein also runs along with the middle meningeal artery. Under the dura mater deeper in the skull, there are also cortical arteries and veins of the temporal lobe of the brain.

The temple should be an acupuncture point that everyone is very familiar with. The eye exercises we often did in school were to rub the temples. It can be seen that the temples have the function of protecting the eyes. Sunken temples are generally congenital and do not cause any harm to health. Massaging the temples can clear the brain meridians, remove internal heat, induce feedback in the brain, relieve fatigue, clear the brain and improve eyesight, and prevent and treat dizziness. Thereby playing a role in brain health.
