Today, Baizhu will give you a good talk about the "6 minutes before bedtime" that everyone easily ignores.
Minute 1: Comb your hair
After a busy day, before you are ready to sleep, massage your head and relax your scalp, using a meridian comb or finger comb.
Combing your hair more is conducive to dredging the meridians, smoothing the blood vessels, relieving dizziness, headache, fatigue and other problems, helping you sleep, and delaying brain aging.
2nd minute: pinch your ears
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidneys mainly store essence and open the body to the ears, and there are many acupuncture points in the ears to heal kidney diseases, so some ear massage is often carried out, which can play a role in strengthening the kidneys and waist, nourishing the body and prolonging life.
The ears are gathered by the lineage, and all organs and tissues of the human body have corresponding stimulation points on the pinna, and kneading the ears can also help us dredge the meridians, run qi and blood, and regulate the five internal organs.
If middle-aged and elderly friends have eye problems such as dry eyes, astringent eyes, conjunctivitis, etc., you can focus on pinching the eyes and ear points in the center of the front of the earlobe, which can brighten the eyes, relieve symptoms, and prevent various elderly eye diseases such as presbyopia, cataract, glaucoma, etc.
3rd minute: Beat the back
The spine of the human back and both sides of the spine are distributed with the Du Mai, the bladder meridian and many important acupuncture points, which are closely related to our internal organs and limbs.
The Du Mai has the function of supervising the 6 Yang meridians, known as the "Sea of Yang Meridians", and the bladder meridian is also a place where Yang Qi gathers, and there are important acupuncture points such as Heart Yu, Liver Yu, Kidney Yu, Spleen Yu and so on.
Insisting on beating the back before going to bed is conducive to stimulating the meridians of the back, promoting the flow of qi and blood throughout the body, strengthening the waist and kidneys, dredging the meridians, circulating qi and blood, and smoothing yin and yang.
If it is inconvenient for some friends, they can use tools such as massage hammering and meridian patting, and the hammering method is the same as that of hands.
4th minute: Leg kick
At night, it is not advisable to do strenuous exercise, so leg kicking is a very simple and gentle health action.
As the saying goes: people's old legs decay first, and many friends suddenly realize that they are beginning to age when they are tired and their legs and feet are inflexible.
Insisting on pressing your legs every night is not only conducive to strengthening your muscles and bones and flexible knee joints, but also making your qi and blood run more smoothly, stabilizing your mind, smoothing your qi and blood, making it easier to fall asleep and better your sleep quality.
The action is simple:
Note: If you feel some small induration or hard bumps in your legs during the exercise, you can press with your heel to relieve the stimulation.
5th minute: Lie down
After kicking your legs, you can go to the bed to lie down and rest, and at this time you can have a "return to the yang bed" and relax your whole body.
If you insist on practicing for 1 minute before going to bed every day, it is conducive to stimulating the kidney meridian, nourishing the kidney and strengthening qi, and aphrodisiac qi.
The method is simple,
6th minute: Meditation
The last thing before going to bed is to use your sleep time to nourish your spleen and stomach.
The spleen and stomach are the foundation of nurture, the source of energy for the whole body, and we can't pay too much attention to it. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "thinking hurts the spleen", not only busy with work and housework during the day, but also mixed with various worries and worries in our minds, which makes our spleen tired enough.
It is better to take advantage of the quiet night to have a "meditation" to relax the spleen and stomach.
Choose a more comfortable position to lie down,
Finally, focus your attention on each part of your body, starting with your toes and gradually working your way up, feeling the relaxation and comfort of each part for 1 minute.
It doesn't take a lot of time to maintain health before going to bed, as long as 6 minutes is enough, adhere to it every day, not only the physical and mental benefits, but also the quality of life will be improved.
