Find out the 6 pain-relieving "keys" hidden in your body

The key to relieving headaches - rubbing between the eyebrows

Whether it's a cold or a bad mood, headaches are always closely related. When you frown, you might as well relax your brows gently, because the key to resolving your headache is hidden between your eyebrows. When you have a headache, you may want to use your bent thumb and index finger to gently pinch and rub the skin in this area until you feel a slight numbness and swelling locally. If you really have a disease, a red or dark purple mark will appear in this place, like sha scraped out. Generally, kneading for 2 minutes is sufficient. The movements should be slow rather than fast, but should have a little force. It works immediately for common headaches. Dai Qibin, deputy director of the Tuina Department of Nanjing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, introduced that there is an acupuncture point called "Yintang Point", which is located on the Du Meridian. Massaging the area where Yintang Point is located can help promote the circulation of Qi and blood in the Du Meridian and relieve symptoms such as headaches and nasal discomfort.

The key to relieve back pain - warming the lower back with your hands

After a hard day's work or a trip, many people return home exhausted and suffer from back pain. Where is the "key" to relieve back pain hidden? Many people like to exercise with their hands on their hips while walking in the park. In fact, the "key" is located in the lower back. You naturally cannot use your hands to use keys. If you rub your lower back with both hands, you will be surprised to find that the symptoms of lower back pain will be improved immediately. First, rub your hands together to warm them up, and place them close to the waist on both sides of the spine on the back. Pause for a moment, and then rub down to the coccyx area (Changqiang point) with force. Do it 50 to 100 times each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. The waist is where the "belt meridian" (the meridian that surrounds the waist) in traditional Chinese medicine runs, especially the back waist on both sides of the spine where the kidneys are located. The kidneys like warmth and hate cold. Regular massage can warm the kidney yang, promote the flow of qi and blood, and naturally help relieve back pain.

The key to relieving toothache: Press the base of the thumb

Toothache makes people restless. At this time, you might as well open two "keys" to relieve toothache. One is near the "tiger's mouth" commonly known as the people. Place the transverse line of the thumb joint of one hand on the webbing edge between the thumb and index finger of the other hand. This place is under the tip of the thumb. The Hegu point in traditional Chinese medicine is also located at this position. When kneading the "tiger's mouth", you should apply force in the direction of the little finger instead of pressing straight up and down vertically on the back of the hand. This will better exert the therapeutic effect of this acupoint. However, it should be noted that patients with poor physical constitution should not be given strong stimulation. The second key is on the face, in front of the ear, in the hollow below the cheekbone. If you feel toothache, you can press this area with your fingers or knuckles, which is also the location of the Xiaguan acupoint. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the meridian of the hand yangming meridian enters the lower teeth, and the meridian of the foot yangming meridian enters the upper teeth. The Hegu and Xiaguan acupoints are both Yangming meridian acupoints. Massaging these two places can help relieve toothache. Pregnant women generally should not massage Hegu to avoid wasting fetal energy.

The key to relieve shoulder pain - lifting and kneading the "well" on the shoulder

Many children often massage the shoulders of their parents who have shoulder pain, but few know why shoulder massage can relieve pain and what the standard movements are. Dai Qibin introduced that in addition to activating the qi and blood in the shoulders, another reason for shoulder massage to relieve pain is that it massages a "well" on the shoulder - the Jianjing point. This point is located on the shoulder, at the midpoint of the line connecting the Dazhui point (the depression below the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra) and the end of the acromion, that is, where the shoulder line intersects just above the nipple. Massaging the Jianjing point can directly or auxiliary treat symptoms such as shoulder pain, heavy head and light feet, eyestrain, tinnitus, high blood pressure, and stiff neck. Many parents are old and often feel back pain. "Na Jianjing" is a good solution. The specific operation method is that the person being massaged sits upright, and the massager stands behind the person being massaged, with the palms of both hands open, four fingers together, and placed on the shoulder wells of the person being massaged, and the four fingers and thumbs apply force against each other to make rhythmic pinching movements. If you use your hollow fist to beat the elderly's back, the effect will be better. Do not massage the Jianjing acupoint too hard or for too long, especially for people with high blood pressure or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

The key to relieve heartache - the "entrance" on the wrist

About three fingers’ width above the horizontal line on the wrist, there is a “key” to relieving heart pain, which is the location of the Neiguan acupoint. Neiguan acupoint is the "collateral" point of the pericardium meridian and is the core acupoint used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat heart disease. It can be used for almost all symptoms related to heart abnormalities. If people with weak heart suffer from sudden angina pectoris, in addition to taking nitroglycerin, they can also press the Neiguan point. Pressing and pressing it can invigorate blood circulation, dredge meridians and relieve pain. It usually takes 5 minutes. For auxiliary treatment and first aid use only.
