I was shivering all over when I was sleeping in the middle of the night

Feeling cold all over when sleeping in the middle of the night is most likely a symptom caused by yang deficiency. Yang deficiency is a symptom that is very harmful to human health. When this symptom occurs, you must regulate your body in time so as to enhance your own resistance and avoid various diseases. Below we will introduce in detail several massage methods for Yang deficiency for your reference!

1. Reasons for feeling cold all over when sleeping at night

When some people are sleeping, perhaps some people around us will feel cold and shiver unconsciously. Chinese medicine believes that this is a manifestation of yang deficiency. Cold is also the source of all diseases. Yang deficiency and some bad living habits, such as sleeping with windows open in summer, sleeping with air conditioning on in summer/winter, etc., will accelerate the reduction of the body's own ability to resist cold and make it more susceptible to invasion of wind evil.

2. Taixi Point - Tonify the Kidney, Replenish Qi, Calm the Body and Warm the Body

The Taixi point is located in the depression at the posterior edge of the medial malleolus of the foot. When rubbing the Taixi acupoint, many people have no reaction at all, especially those who are weak, heavy and afraid of cold. They have no reaction at all, and the acupoint will sink when pressed. Therefore, Chinese medicine often says that "pain means blockage, and no pain means no obstruction". This is a conclusion made under general circumstances. At this time, if friends who are not in pain must rub it until it hurts, and if friends who are in pain must rub it until it doesn't hurt. In the final analysis, it is all about directing qi and blood to the Yongquan point on the soles of the feet. Taixi Point is the original point of the Kidney Meridian. The Yuan point can stimulate and mobilize the body's original power, but after mobilizing it must be stored, that is, stored in the Yongquan point, so that you will have a foundation for health. Therefore, health care methods such as rubbing the soles of the feet, doing the Golden Rooster Stand, and soaking the feet every day are aimed at opening up the kidney meridian and guiding the fire back to its source.

Only when the blood stasis is dispersed and fresh blood is allowed to circulate can the body have vitality. Taixi point is not only a great tonic point of the kidney meridian, but also one of the largest acupoints in the whole body. The kidney is the foundation of the innate nature, and this is exactly the case.

3. Dazhui Point - replenishing qi, promoting yang and regulating qi and blood

The Dazhui point is located below the most protruding bone behind the neck. Patients with lumbar spondylosis can rub their waist. The spine is the site where the Du meridian runs in acupuncture, and the Du meridian can regulate the yang meridians of the whole body. Massaging the neck and waist can dredge the Du meridian and regulate Qi and blood. The specific method is to rub your hands together to warm them up and press the neck and waist tightly, rubbing vigorously about 30 times. Patients with cervical spondylosis can massage the Dazhui point frequently.

4. Hegu Point & Zusanli Point - Double Yang Points, which can withstand severe cold

The Zusanli point is located four finger widths below the outer kneecap and on the edge of the tibia. The Hegu point is located on the back of the hand, at the midpoint of the second metacarpal bone, on the thumb side. Both Hegu and Zusanli acupoints belong to the Yangming meridian. Yangming is a meridian with abundant qi and blood, and is of great importance to the smooth flow of qi and blood in the meridians. If you can insist on massaging Hegu, Zusanli and other acupoints every day, you can also increase the body's resistance and improve the body's ability to withstand cold.
