"People live a breath", we often hear this sentence, which shows the important role of "qi" in human life activities. But in life, we can often see a type of person, who is low in language, short of breath and lazy, easy to fatigue in limbs, lack of energy, easy to sweat, and often cold. This type of person is called "qi deficiency constitution" from the perspective of physique.
Qi deficiency physique can try this conditioning
01 The three acupuncture points replenish your vitality
People with a weak qi constitution can also use acupressure point massage to replenish qi. The acupuncture points with the effect of replenishing qi are Zusanli, Guan yuan, Zhenzhong, Shen Que, Yin Valley, Kidney Yu, Spleen Yu, etc., and self-massage of these acupuncture points can replenish yuan qi and improve qi deficiency. The most commonly used acupuncture points are the three acupuncture points of The Middle, The Foot Three Mile, and the Yin Valley.
The acupuncture points are an important acupuncture point for cultivating the qi of the heart and lungs, and there is a saying that qi will be. This acupuncture point is a collection of gaseous substances on the chest, so it is the assembly of qi. The midriff is located on the thorax, currently on the midline, between the flat 4th ribs, and at the midpoint of the two nipples. After acupuncture, the patient may be in a sitting or supine position. We can press the hole 1 time a day with our thumb or middle finger for 15 minutes and 15 times per minute. This acupuncture point is suitable for people with qi deficiency and partial heart and lung deficiency.
Zusanli is one of the main acupuncture points of the "Foot Yang Ming Stomach Sutra", and it is a large acupuncture point that nourishes the vitality. Modern research has found that massage foot three has the effect of regulating the body's immunity and enhancing disease resistance. The role of this acupuncture point is mainly to regulate the spleen and stomach and replenish the qi. "Sanli" refers to the rational upper, the middle and the lower rationale. The stomach is in the upper part of the abdomen, when the stomach is bloated and the stomach is painful, it is necessary to "rationalize", and when pressing the foot three miles, it is necessary to force upwards at the same time; if there is discomfort in the middle of the abdomen, it is necessary to "rationalize", as long as it is pressed inward; the lower abdomen is in the lower part of the belly, and the pain of the lower abdomen should be pressed down while holding down the foot three miles, which is called "rationalizing". Frequent massage of foot three miles can greatly replenish vitality, because foot three miles are acupuncture points on the stomach meridian, so this acupuncture point is suitable for people with qi deficiency and partial spleen and stomach qi deficiency. At the same time, the acupuncture point of Qi Hai can also be selected.
For those who have a weak qi constitution and are partial to kidney qi deficiency, and those who sweat a lot, we can choose the acupuncture point of Yin Valley. The valley is on the inside of the popliteal fossa, when the knee is bent, between the hemi-tendon tendon and the hemimembranous tendon. We can find this acupuncture point in a simple way, that is, sitting or lying on the back, and the yin valley acupuncture point is located on the inner thigh, about 5 cm above the inside of the knee joint.
Yin Valley Acupoint is one of the important acupuncture points of the human body's foot less yin kidney meridian, which can not only replenish kidney qi, but also acupressure this acupuncture point, which is also very effective for the treatment of hyperhidrosis. At this time, it can also be massaged with the kidney Yu acupoints at the left and right 2 centimeters of the 2nd lumbar spine. During the massage, slowly exhale while pressing these points vigorously for 10 seconds until the degree of mild pain, patiently acupressure is required 30 times a day.
