"Ouch, my waist", I believe that this phrase often surrounds the ears of uncles and aunts. As we age, low back pain becomes more frequent.
Is low back pain really just because of age?
Dean Wang Jingui and Director Li Huanan will give you detailed answers.
01
There are 9 types of low back pain!
In daily life, many uncles and aunts will choose to put a hot water bottle on their waist to relieve pain. But some low back pain with a warm compress may worsen!
Each person has a different constitution and the type of low back pain they exhibit is also different.
Dean Wang Jingui divided low back pain into 9 types.
(1) Kidney deficiency and low back pain: soreness and weakness of the waist and knees.
(2) Guest cold and low back pain: the colder it is, the more painful it is, and the pain is severe.
(3) Cold and damp low back pain: feeling heavy, not liking to drink water, afraid of cold, and having long urine.
(4) Wind attack low back pain: As soon as you are affected by the wind, it hurts, and the pain will spread to the thighs and feet.
(5) Phlegm dampness and low back pain: heavy dampness in the body, dislike of drinking water, severe abdominal distention.
(6) Damp heat and low back pain: Similar to phlegm and damp low back pain, there will also be dislike of drinking water, abdominal distention, heat intolerance, and sticky stool. This type of low back pain can be aggravated with a hot compress!
(7) Qi stagnation and low back pain: when the body position changes, the pain is aggravated. For example, if you sit and stand up suddenly, the pain will be exacerbated.
(8) Flash flap low back pain: similar to qi stagnation and low back pain, but this kind of person will have waist trauma.
(9) Blood stasis and low back pain: the pain worsens at night.

Damp heat and low back pain
Frequent haunts in winter!
One of the many types of low back pain that uncles and aunts should pay special attention to in winter is damp and hot low back pain.
In winter, everyone will eat more nourishingly. The more nourishing a person with a damp and hot constitution is, the more the damp evil and the hot evil in the body will fight each other, affecting the passage of qi and blood, resulting in more frequent low back pain.
If you want to relieve damp heat and low back pain, Director Li Huanan taught you a simple method - kneading the Taixi acupoint.
Taixi acupoint is the original acupoint of the kidney meridian, and the original acupoint is the acupoint where the meridian qi enters and exits. It can not only nourish kidney qi, but also clear away heat and dampness.
Find the depression behind the tip of the inner malleolus, which is the Taixi acupoint.
Rub with your thumb and press firmly until there is a feeling of soreness, the effect is better. 1-2 minutes a day, 100-150 strokes each time, can effectively relieve damp heat and low back pain.

Two acupuncture points
Keep you away from pain!
The root cause of the above low back pain lies in the inherent kidney deficiency and constitution.
For example, the damp heat constitution will enter the body to dissolve heat, causing damp heat and low back pain.
Plus the Cold Evil Attack Table. The cold evil enters the meridians, causing the meridians to be blocked, and if they are not passed, it will be painful.
Dean Wang brought two solutions to the refractory kidney deficiency.
The first method is acupuncture point massage.
Director Li Huanan taught you two acupuncture points, both of which can replenish kidney qi and nourish Yuanyang, which are effective in relieving any kind of low back pain.
(1) Palm Zhenguan Yuan Acupoint
Guan Yuan acupoint is located on the Ren pulse line and is an important tonic point for the human body. Through the way of palm vibration, the Ren pulse line and the meridian line can communicate with each other, and play the role of nourishing Yuan Yang.
Guan Yuan's acupoint is three inches below the navel. After finding the navel, put the palm of your hand underneath, and the lower part of the little finger is the location of Guan Yuan's acupoint.
Then place the hollow palm on the acupuncture point and use the forearm to drive the palm to vibrate, as if trembling.
Every morning or when lying down, you can do it for 1-2 minutes, vibrating about 200 times per minute, and you will feel a slight heat in your stomach.
(2) 横擦命门hole
The waist is the house of the kidneys, and the life gate has a direct relationship with the waist, so massaging the life gate acupoint can also play a role in tonifying the kidney.
The positioning of the life-gate point is also very simple, after finding the navel, circle along the waist, and find the depression in the middle of the back, which is the life-gate point.
Rub the palm of your hand left and right to cross the life-gate acupoint, and you can feel the heat in your waist.

Diet
Mutton "meeting", kidney nourishment doubled
If you want to nourish your kidneys, the power of diet therapy should not be underestimated.
Today, the two dietary prescriptions recommended by Dean Wang are related to mutton, which are delicious and tonic for the kidneys, let's take a look!
1. A bowl of mutton soup replenishes qi and blood
The first course can replenish qi and blood. It is a very famous recipe of the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, called angelica ginger mutton soup.
The pathological basis of low back pain is mostly kidney yang deficiency, and mutton has the effect of warming and replenishing kidney yang, which is best for relieving low back pain.
The ingredients and steps are on the picture below, so uncles and aunts can learn to make them!
Solution: Mutton warms and replenishes kidney yang;
Angelica invigorates blood;
Ginger dispels cold.
Note: People with damp heat and low back pain should not eat more!
2. 饺子馅里藏奥秘
The second course is often seen on our New Year's table - dumplings.
The filling in this dumpling is very particular, in addition to mutton, there is also fennel.
Fennel has the effect of relieving pain. The fennel used in traditional Chinese medicine is the seed produced by the fennel we often eat. Paired with mutton, it treats both the symptoms and the root cause.
Composition: lamb, fennel, flour, cooked peanut oil, salt, chicken essence, soy sauce, pepper, chives.
Solution: Mutton warms and replenishes kidney yang;
Fennel relieves pain.
If the low back pain is not relieved for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for treatment~
