Facial meridian dredging

Many people will get acne during adolescence, which is a very normal situation, but it is also an unhealthy phenomenon. If the meridians in the face are not unblocked, causing lymphatic blockage, acne and redness will occur. The meridians of the face are completely connected to the meridians of the whole body. You can often rub the sides of your face with your hands, or gently beat your back. These methods can dredge the meridians. Here are the specific steps.

1. Warming up

When there is a lot of cold and dampness in the body, it is like facing a piece of land that is frozen due to the cold. It is necessary to warm up to solve the fundamental problem. Only when the "earth" warms up, the rivers melt and the land thaws, will the rivers become unobstructed and the land become soft and breathable.

The same is true for our body. As long as there is a lot of cold and dampness in the body, all the pipes in the body will contract due to the cold, and the muscles and tissues in the body will also become hardened due to the cold. When encountering such a situation, we must learn to warm up the body through proper physical exercise to expel cold and dampness.

Only in this way can the body be completely thawed and various channels become unblocked naturally.

2. Gently massage the earlobe

Make empty fists with both hands, and use your thumb and index finger to rub the earlobe up and down for 1 minute until the earlobe becomes engorged and warm. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "kidneys govern bones and produce marrow". The body's essence is collected by various organs and then stored in the kidneys. The kidney opens up to the ears, which are covered with acupuncture points throughout the body.

Therefore, massaging the ears can not only strengthen the kidneys, but also open up acupuncture points throughout the body.

3. Beat your back often

A study found that beating the back once or twice a day can help improve work efficiency and skin health, among other things. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach, gallbladder, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, triple burner, and twelve Shu points are all connected to the back.

Moderate back beating can invigorate Yang Qi, dredge meridians, promote the circulation of Qi and blood, harmonize the internal organs, eliminate fatigue, calm the mind and soothe the nerves; it can also stimulate the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the back.

Through the conduction of the nervous system and meridians, it strengthens the endocrine and nervous system functions of the human body, and improves the body's immunity and disease resistance.

Back pounding is simple and easy to do and is not subject to time constraints. There are usually two methods: patting (patting with empty palms) and knocking (tapping with empty fists). Both methods should be light rather than heavy, and strive to achieve coordinated movements, even rhythm, and flexible force.

When beating the back, use your hands to lightly tap and pat both sides of the spine from top to bottom or from bottom to top. The strength of the beating should be enough to make the body vibrate without feeling pain. You can beat yourself or have others beat you, and the person being beaten can be sitting or lying down. Generally, the frequency of back beating should be 60 to 100 times per minute. You can do it 1 to 2 times a day, and the duration of each back beating should be limited to 20 minutes.

There are a few things to note when massaging your back: 1. When using the knocking method to hit the back, you should clench your fists into hollow fists. Do not use too much strength in clenching your fists. The force should be light at first and then heavy so that you can gradually adapt to it. 2. Change the frequency of beating according to the situation. If the person being massaged is nervous or emotional, it is advisable to use a gentle and slow massage. If the person being massaged is depressed or tired,

It is advisable to use strong and fast techniques to beat the back. 3. Patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, undiagnosed spinal lesions and tumors, and severe osteoporosis should not receive back pounding.

So as not to aggravate the condition or cause accidents.

4. Sitting in Lotus Pose

When sitting, bend your left leg, place the instep of your left foot on the groin of your right thigh, place your hands on your left knee, and gently make elastic movements up and down several times to make it touch the ground; then change to your right foot. Keeping exercising can help to activate many ligaments in the human body.

Fully stretch the muscles of the legs, abdomen, chest, neck, etc., and keep the meridians unobstructed.

5. Comb your hair

Use your fingers or a wooden comb to comb your hair from the forehead to the back of the head, and from the temples on both sides to the top of the head.

Do it 50 to 100 times each time. It is best to comb your hair in the morning. All the meridians of the human body converge at the head. When combing your hair, you will pass through nearly 50 acupoints, including Mei Chong, Tong Tian, ​​Bai Hui, Yin Tang, Yu Zhen, Feng Chi, etc. Stimulating these acupoints like acupuncture can promote blood flow in the head and dredge the meridians.
