The second metacarpal radial massage therapy falls within the scope of reflexology, but the reflex in this reflexology does not refer to neurological reflexes. This reflexology theory believes that the whole of the human body can be reduced, projected, and reflected to a certain part of the body, that is, the local can reflect the whole. Therefore, it can be said that this reflexology theory is the biological holographic theory. Our commonly used hand, foot, ankle, wrist, ear, face, abdomen, eye, mouth, house, nose and other therapies belong to this. Among them, the most convenient and practical, but also suitable for self-operation is the second metacarpal radial side rubbing diagnosis and treatment method, which is now introduced as follows, so that the whole people can use self-care diagnosis and treatment.
1. Part: The side of the radius of the second metacarpal bone in the mouth of the tiger on the back of the hand is close to the bone edge.
2. The relationship between the radial reflex point of the second metacarpal bone and the meridians of the internal organs: The radial side of the second metacarpal bone is the place where the hand Yang Ming large intestine meridian passes, and its phase table is related to the Taiyin Lung Meridian and the same name meridian Yang Ming Stomach Meridian. The stomach is the sea of water valleys, the foundation of the day after tomorrow, the spleen and stomach are the source of qi and blood biochemistry, the hand Taiyin lung meridian is the consistency of the twelve meridians, and the changes in the qi and blood of the whole body can be reflected in the lungs throughout the mouth pulse, so the radius side of the second metacarpal bone is also the place where the twelve meridians of qi and blood flow are injected, and it can be diagnosed and treated by rubbing a variety of diseases throughout the body.
3. Distribution of the radial acupuncture point group of the second metacarpal bone: When learning first, grasp the six typical acupuncture points of the head, lungs, liver, stomach, waist and foot distribution of the radius acupuncture point group of the second metacarpal bone. When taking acupuncture points and treating, the hand is empty, like an egg. The cephalic acupuncture point is the intersection point between the end of the palm striation and the radius of the second metacarpal bone; the foot is the intersection point near the thumb side of the 1st and 2nd metacarpal side; the midpoint of the connection between the cephalic point and the foot acupuncture point is the gastric acupoint; the midpoint of the connection between the gastric acupuncture point and the cephalic acupuncture point is the lung acupuncture; the midpoint of the connection between the gastric acupuncture point and the lung acupuncture point is the liver acupuncture; the connection between the gastric acupuncture point and the foot acupuncture point is divided into three equal parts, and the middle two points starting from the gastric acupuncture point are the peri-umbilical point and the lumbar point in turn. The relationship between the whole and the second metacarpal is proportionally reduced, and the whole can be divided into countless parts, so that the acupuncture points corresponding to these innumerable parts corresponding to the radial side of the second metacarpal bone are also innumerable. Clinically, we determine the position of the remaining acupuncture points according to the position of the six typical acupuncture points and the principle that the radial side of the second metacarpal bone is the epitome of the whole.
4. The second metacarpal radial side rubbing method: usually using the compression method, when pressing the acupuncture point, you can start from the head, press on the acupuncture point with the tip of the thumb, apply force pressure in the direction perpendicular to the plane, and slightly rub the action. Use moderately sized force to knead 1 to 3 times one by one, when the acupuncture point has obvious acid, numbness, swelling, weight, pain, you should rub or press the acupuncture point slightly harder to obtain a strong feeling for treatment. The appearance of tender spots indicates that the corresponding organ of the same name or part of the site or other organs on the same cross-section is diseased, such as tenderness in the lung cavity, then the lungs, chest, back of the heart, trachea or both sides of the disease. According to the Tibetan elephant theory of Chinese medicine, the tender points of the acupuncture points also indicate that the parts closely related to the organs corresponding to them are diseased, and if there is tenderness in the liver acupuncture points, the eyes that are closely related to the liver may also be sick. If the tenderness of the left hand is heavier than that of the right hand, this means that the left side of the body is seriously ill or sick on the left side, and vice versa.
5. Pressing the treatment method: use the tip of the thumb to make a small circular movement or kneading with the acupuncture point as the center of the circle, the kneading pressure should be strong, so that there is a strong acid, swelling, numbness, pain, and heavy sensation in the deep tissues, each time it is pressed for 3 to 6 minutes, the acupuncture point can be selected according to the corresponding point, such as lung disease to take the lung acupuncture; or according to the Chinese medicine Tibetan elephant theory to take the acupuncture, such as the liver open to the eye, the eye disease to take the liver acupuncture point, etc.
