Points on the body according to Chinese medicine. III. What to pay attention to before starting work with the device. Chinese medicine: points on the human body

The leading thought of Chinese medicine is the concept of wholeness. The basis of physiology and pathology is the internal organs of zangfu and jinglo channels. A feature of the theoretical system of medicine is dialectical treatment.

Chinese medicine believes that when the disease occupies the body, the regulation of the balance of Yin Yang is first of all affected. The balance of Yin Yang is deregulated and disease ensues. In Shuboshi - Comfortable Doctor - Comfort acupuncture treatment devices, Chinese acupuncture and massage are transformed into healing waves by means of modern high technologies. Based on the concept of a single whole organism, combined with local treatment, these waves affect the corresponding points of the jingluo channels and achieve the goal of restoring the balance of Yin Yang and curing the disease. The method is easy to learn and use. Everyone can master Chinese acupuncture and massage through simple study, and by applying at home Chinese acupuncture and massage, achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment.

What is Yin Yang?

Yin Yang is a generalization of some interconnected and opposed things and phenomena of the natural world. At the same time, there is the concept of opposites and unity.

Everything that moves sharply, what is outside, what is upstairs, what is hot, bright, all this is Yang.

Everything that is in relative peace, what is inside, what is below, what is cold, dark, everything is Yin.

However, the belonging of things to Yin Yang is not absolute, but relative. They are subject to change as conditions change. The balance of Yin and Yang between themselves is also not at rest and is not absolute. Within certain limits and certain time"Yin decreases, Yang increases" and "Yang decreases, Yin increases", thus maintaining a relative balance.

The normal development of the life of the organism is achieved by continuous decrease and increase and continuous maintenance of balance. When the balance is undermined, illness can occur in the body: Yin increases and Yang weakens, Yang increases and Yin weakens. Increasing Yang means hot, increasing Yin means cold.

Chinese medicine believes that illness is inseparable from Yin Yang. We add where there is a shortage, throw away where there is a surplus. Restoring the balance of Yin Yang is the basic principle of treating disease.

Using acupressure at home

Acupuncture has been known for over 5,000 years - Chinese method treatment with gold needles. AT recent times appeared and modern analogue such technique - electropuncture. However, not everyone knows that there is another method - acupressure. In Japan, a similar technique is called shi-atsu (shi - fingers, atsu - pressure).

Acupressure treats with finger pressure. Acupressure is further development acupuncture. It uses the same points and meridians that acupuncture needles are inserted into, but acupressure rejects the use of metal in treatment, making the technique gentler and safer, with little to no reduction in effectiveness. Instead of metal needles, with the same effect, the thumb and forefinger are used (you can use your own, if available).

Pressing-pressing fingers on the right points relieves many ailments and disorders. Acupressure not only relieves pain, but also reduces the time of illness, eliminates the violation of the functional activity of organs, eliminates organic consequences neuroses: anxiety, restlessness, fear.

Every person who knows the most important points on the body and medical indications, following the easy-to-remember rules of accupres- sion, will be able to help himself!

Acupressure relieves pain and effectively treats those diseases that are caused by disorders of the nervous system, and this is every second disease in our hectic time. But above all, accupressure is reliable, safe and effective method pain control - and that without any side effects. This method is especially effective when it is successfully selected and, all the more pleasant, the carrier of influence.

Acupressure does not cause pain from a needle prick, does not cause bleeding, and eliminates the introduction of infection into the body. But most importantly, this doctor is always with you!

Varieties of reflex points

The locations of the acupuncture and acupressure points are known exactly. They are located on 14 meridian lines, which have long been explored. These meridians have certain names, for example, "Big heart" ("Master of the heart"), "Three-degree heater" or "Guverneur meridian", while three types of points are used on each meridian:

• "Harmonizing points" - lying at the beginning and end of the meridian. Their acupressure gives harmonious echoes in all organs related to this meridian.
• "Exciting point" - only one on each meridian. Its acupressure activates the reaction and efficiency of the organs related to this meridian.
• "Calming point" - also only one on each meridian. This point suppresses, soothes, removes nervous state; sensations during her acupressure are most pleasant.

Relief is brought by enhanced acupressure of the system of so-called "Signal (alarm) points ("Moon-points"). Each major organ has its own signal point. Proper acupressure of this point contributes to an immediate improvement in a person's condition and, in particular, a reduction in pain.

In recent years of study at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a number of "special points" relating to certain ailments (diseases) have been discovered.

Below are the pictures key points accupres. It can be a "Calming point" for sleep disorders, and an "Exciting point" for low blood pressure, and a "Harmonizing point" for anxiety general neurosis, and "Signal point" for colic and joint pain, and "Special point" for reduced potency.

The figures below show typical hotspot locations. Due to the individual characteristics of the physique, the location of the points may deviate within one centimeter. By using special device, which measures the resistance of the skin, according to reduced value resistance point location is determined with an accuracy of one millimeter. However, for accupressure, such accuracy is redundant (the size of the finger is larger). As a rule, the accupressure point responds to hard pressing a clear pain impulse, which facilitates its search in the desired area of ​​the body.

How to influence the acupressure point?

Doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine distinguish three degrees of influence on healing points:

• at acute pain and at primary care shown lung application circular massage of the point, which is performed with the tip of the index finger of the hand. The duration of the massage is from one to five minutes.
• at chronic diseases, depending on the general condition patient, it is best and more reliable to use acupressure of medium strength. Multiple massage during the day is recommended, the duration of acupressure is up to 30-40 seconds.
• strong acupressure is done primarily with the thumb, but other variations are possible.

When the desired active point is found on the body, the tip of the index or thumb is touched to skin, then they begin to make circular movements with the finger, shifting the skin relative to the bone or muscle tissue at two revolutions per second. At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that when exposed, the finger constantly remains on the required point of the body.

With a symmetrical effect on the points of accupressure, one should be especially careful.

There is a well-known saying that one cannot carry one's homeland on the soles of one's boots... But in China and in the East in general, they are sure that on the soles, of course, not of boots, but of our feet, one can carry away one's own health!

In this way, you provide unhindered access to vital energy. qi to any organ and point of your body.

APPLICATION OF ACUPRESSURE IN HOME CONDITIONS.

Acupuncture has been known for over 5,000 years, a Chinese method of treatment using golden needles. Recently, a modern analogue of such a technique has appeared - electropuncture. However, not everyone knows that there is another method - acupressure. In Japan, a similar technique is called shi-atsu (shi - fingers, atsu - pressure).

Acupressure treats with finger pressure.

Acupressure Sura is a further development of acupuncture. It uses the same points and meridians that acupuncture needles are inserted into, but acupressure rejects the use of metal in treatment, making the technique gentler and safer, with little to no reduction in effectiveness. Instead of metal needles, with the same effect, the thumb and forefinger are used.(you can also own, if available).

Pressing-pressing fingers on the right points relieves many ailments and disorders.

Acupressure not only relieves pain, but also reduces the time of illness, eliminates the violation of the functional activity of organs, eliminates the organic consequences of neurosis: anxiety, restlessness, fear.

Every person who knows the most important points on the body and medical indications, following the easy-to-remember rules of accupres- sion, will be able to help himself!

Acupressure relieves pain and effectively treats those diseases that are caused by disorders of the nervous system, and this is every second disease in our hectic time. But above all, acupressure is a reliable, safe and effective method of dealing with pain - and this without any side effects. This method is especially effective when it is successfully selected and, all the more pleasant, the carrier of influence.

Acupressure does not cause pain from a needle prick, does not cause bleeding, and eliminates the introduction of infection into the body. But most importantly, this doctor is always with you!

Varieties reflex points

The locations of the acupuncture and acupressure points are known exactly. They are located on 14 meridian lines, which have long been explored. These meridians have certain names, for example, "Big heart" ("Master of the heart"), "Three-degree heater" or "Guverneur meridian", while three types of points are used on each meridian:

"Harmonizing points" - lying at the beginning and end of the meridian. Their acupressure gives harmonious echoes in all organs related to this meridian.

"Exciting point" - only one on each meridian. Its acupressure activates the reaction and efficiency of the organs related to this meridian.

"Calming point" - also only one on each meridian. This point suppresses, calms, relieves a nervous state; sensations during her acupressure are most pleasant.

Relief is brought by enhanced acupressure of the system of so-called "Signal (alarm) points ("Moon-points"). Each major organ has its own signal point. Proper acupressure of this point contributes to an immediate improvement in a person's condition and, in particular, a reduction in pain.

In recent years of study at Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a number of "special points" relating to certain ailments (diseases) have been discovered.

Below are images of the most important points of acupressure. This can be a “Calming point” for sleep disorders, and an “Exciting point” for low blood pressure, and a “Harmonizing point” for an anxious state of general neurosis, and a “Signal point” for colic and joint pain, and a “Special point "with a decrease in potency.

The figures below show typical hotspot locations. Due to the individual characteristics of the physique, the location of the points may deviate within one centimeter. With the help of a special device that measures the resistance of the skin, the location of the point is determined by the reduced resistance value with an accuracy of one millimeter. However, for accupressure, such accuracy is redundant (the size of the finger is larger). As a rule, the acupressure point reacts to strong pressure with a clear pain impulse, which makes it easier to find it in the desired area of ​​the body.

How to influence the acupressure point?

Doctors of Traditional Chinese Medicine distinguish three degrees of influence on treatment points:

in case of acute pains and in the primary treatment, the use of a light circular massage of the point is indicated, which is performed with the tip of the index finger of the hand. The duration of the massage is from one to five minutes.

in chronic diseases, depending on the general condition of the patient, it is best and more reliable to use acupressure of medium strength. Multiple massages during the day are recommended, the duration of acupressure is up to 30-40 seconds.

strong acupressure is done primarily with the thumb, but other variations are possible.

When the desired active point is found on the body, they touch the skin with the tip of the index or thumb, then they begin to make circular movements with the finger, moving the skin relative to the bone or muscle tissue in a rhythm of two revolutions per second. At the same time, attention should be paid to the fact that when exposed, the finger constantly remains on the required point of the body.

With a symmetrical effect on the points of accupressure, one should be especially careful.

Contraindications:

Acupressure in its simplified form cannot replace the necessary medical treatment in an emergency, but it can be used as an additional pain relief treatment, as well as for first aid.

Acupressure is contraindicated in:

severe organic diseases of the heart and circulatory systems

during pregnancy

with severe fatigue

until the treatment of a skin disease at the acupressure point (for example, suppuration, lichen, etc.)
