According to big data, there are about 2 1 10,000 new cases of female breast cancer in China every year, and the highest onset age is 42 years old. The average age of female breast cancer onset is earlier than that of western countries 10 years! Breast cancer has become the biggest disease threatening women's health. The growth rate of breast cancer incidence in China is twice the global average, ranking first in the world.
This fact makes me feel that this is not only my personal interest in learning, but also a responsibility to explore solutions. If I can be selfish and altruistic, it will be the biggest gain.
All problems have their roots. To solve the breast problem, we must trace the source. In traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is a unified whole, and we can't treat it in isolation. We can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The best policy is to treat both the symptoms and the root causes.
First of all, please take a look at yourself, your psychology, emotions, life, work, study, stress, anxiety, marriage, parenting, desire, and so on. The source of all diseases comes from the heart. What you think, what you eat, what you drink, what you do and where you live, all these make you, your success, your failure, your happiness, your sadness, your health and your illness. Therefore, introspection is the first step to trace the source. Find the crux of the heart, open it, put it down, forget it and break the vicious circle.
Then, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, where does the crux of the breast problem come from?
① Stagnation of liver qi
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs emotions, and stagnation of liver qi will lead to mental depression, emotional fluctuation and mental tension, which is easy to cause "qi stagnation". Activating qi promotes blood circulation, while stagnation of qi leads to blood stasis. If qi stagnation lasts for a long time, the meridians in the breast are blocked and blood circulation is not smooth, which will lead to breast pain, nodules, hyperplasia and other diseases.
Moxibustion points: Qimen, Dadun and Middle.
② Deficiency of kidney and blood
Kidney is the hiding place of human yang, which plays the role of warming the whole body. Some people often feel tired, yellow face, dark circles, bags under the eyes, weak waist and knees, and cold hands and feet indicate kidney deficiency and blood deficiency. Over time, without the warmth of kidney yang and sufficient qi and blood nourishment, breast parts are prone to hyperplasia and nodules.
Moxibustion points: Shu Ge, Guanyuan, Shenshu and Xue Hai.
③ palace cold and blood stasis?
Many women like to wear navel-revealing clothes and shorts, air-conditioning fans blow directly in summer, and they like to eat cold drinks and ice cream, as well as in winter. These factors will lead to palace cold. Cold coagulation leads to qi stagnation, and qi stagnation leads to blood stasis. Leading to blockage of blood vessels in meridians, resulting in blood clots and hyperplasia of mammary glands.
Moxibustion points: Guanyuan, Huilai, Bajiao and Sanyinjiao.
④ Spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness
Spleen governs Shui Gu, which prefers dryness to dampness and is prone to deficiency. People who like to eat heavy flavors, such as big fish and big meat, overeating, eating barbecue, beer and seafood hairy crabs, will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, leading to weakness of the spleen and stomach, and the result of weakness of the spleen and stomach is that it cannot dissolve human moisture. Long-term stagnation of moisture leads to phlegm-dampness inclusion, blocking the meridians in the breast, thus forming nodules and proliferative lesions.
Moxibustion points: Zhongwan, Fenglong, Chengshan and Jiexi.
During moxibustion, the above acupuncture points need to be added with the relevant acupuncture points of the breast. Let's explain the main points of breasts in detail.
Zhongshan point is an important point for treating hyperplasia of mammary glands. If the female friend's heart cavity and chest cavity are not smooth, it is easy to cause breast diseases. Zhongshan is a gasification meeting, which is close to the gasification meeting and can be treated nearby, so postpartum hypogalactia, mammary gland hyperplasia, mastitis and other problems are also managed in Zhongshan.
Let's touch Zhongshan. Some people think this place hurts, others are very sour and need more massage or moxibustion. Don't be afraid of pain The more painful and sour it is, the more massage is needed. When it doesn't hurt, it means there is no stagnation here.
There is a person suffering from hyperplasia of mammary glands who often feels chest tightness, chest pain, shortness of breath and palpitation. She said that there was a palm-sized place in the middle of her sternum, like pressing a heavy object. It can only be relieved if you take a breath frequently, and sometimes you will wake up when you sleep at night. There is no positive finding in ECG and color Doppler ultrasound. Therefore, she was depressed. This is actually a typical manifestation of myocardial ischemia in heart disease. Because it has not developed to the extent of organic lesions, clinical examination may not find problems. In the middle of the palm-sized place she refers to is Zhongshan point, and the pain can't be touched. Later, she rubbed it gently every day. It was particularly painful at first, but she endured it. After pressing it several times a day, the pain gradually stops. It doesn't matter how you touch it now My chest is no longer pressed and I don't wake up at night. The original symptoms have been alleviated. The point is that I'm not as bored as before, and I'm in a much better mood. A few months later, her mammary gland hyperplasia disappeared, which should also be related to massaging Zhongshan point.
Huangdi Neijing said: "Those who live in the mountains are officials of the official history, and they are happy", which means that the happy mood is generated from this mountain. Some people like to cover their chests when they are uncomfortable. At this time, they will feel much more comfortable by pressing the acupoints with their middle fingers. When you have nothing to do, you will press more, and gradually people will become strong and optimistic. Therefore, Zhongshan point is an important point to regulate emotions.
I want to cry, but I can't. I feel uncomfortable. Just rub it here and cry out my sadness and grievances. After crying, it will be very good for your health. A cry can relieve a thousand worries, because the toxins are discharged along the tears, and the stagnation in your heart will also disperse a lot. Some people are obviously not unhappy with moxibustion, but they cry when they do, which is also a very good way to vent their stagnation.
These four acupoints all belong to the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, passing through the center of breast.
Unknown point, located in the chest, between the second ribs, 4 inches away from the anterior midline. The house is a deep chamber, the clouds are hidden, the points are in the lungs, and the breath reaches the deep chamber. Wuyi has the functions of lowering adverse qi, relieving asthma, eliminating carbuncle and relieving pain, regulating qi, calming nerves, activating collaterals and promoting lactation.
False window point, located in the chest, the third intercostal space, 4 inches from the anterior midline. False in the chest is false, and the window is the window, which can relieve the depression in the chest and the symptoms of chest tightness can be treated. The fake window has the functions of relieving cough and asthma, reducing swelling and clearing heat, widening chest and regulating qi, eliminating carbuncle and relieving pain.
Breast point, in the middle of nipple. Postpartum massage of breast point and breast root point can effectively promote milk secretion, which is convenient and practical. Milk has the function of invigorating qi and waking up the mind. Zhu Danxi said: "Breast, Yangming meridian passes through; Nipple, Jue Yin and liver qi pass ",so Ruzhong point can also treat eye diseases.
Rugen point is located in the chest, just below the nipple, at the root of the breast, between the fifth ribs, 4 inches away from the anterior midline. Rugen point has the functions of promoting lactation, removing blood stasis, dispersing lung qi, lowering adverse qi, relieving asthma, eliminating carbuncle and promoting lactation. Rugen point is located on Yangming meridian of chest and foot, which is the meridian filled with qi and blood, and has the effect of regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and promoting lactation during dysmenorrhea. It is the main acupoint for treating breast diseases and precordial pain.
The sky is the sky, and the pond is the pond. This point is in the breast, and the lactation of the breast is like Tianchi water, hence the name Tianchi. Tianchi points are located in the chest, between the fourth ribs, outside the nipple 1 inch, and 5 inches beside the anterior midline. Tianchi point has the functions of regulating qi, broadening chest, clearing away heat and resolving hard mass.
Some people have auxiliary breasts, and some people have lumps under their armpits, which are inextricably linked with breast problems. Moxibustion at Tianchi point, deep in Jedaias's breast, can help to dredge the axillary lump.
Tianzong acupoint is located in the central depression of scapula and infraspinatus fossa, which is flush with the fourth thoracic vertebra.
Tianzong point is opposite to breast, so it can treat breast carbuncle and asthma. Many people will feel sour when they press this point. Some have problems with their breasts and some have problems with their shoulders and necks. This point is still
Key points of treating shoulder, neck and scapular diseases.
Shoulder is shoulder, well is well. This hole is on the shoulder, and the local depression is like a well, so it is named Shoulder Well. At the chest of Jianjing point, the midpoint of the connecting line between Dazhui and acromion.
The gallbladder meridian of foot shaoyang "goes up to the armpit and is tied to false breast", so Jianjing point can treat breast carbuncle, breast addiction and hypogalactia. The location of the gallbladder meridian is just around the breast, so if the breast is painful, the shoulder well point should be more painful. Pressing or moxibustion at this point will not hurt, and these problems will be gone.
Here, add something else. The word "well" extends in all directions, and Jianjing point is also an important acupuncture point extending in all directions. There are several meridians passing through here, belonging to the gallbladder meridian, and the triple energizer meridian on the back also passes through here, the stomach meridian shuttles through here, and the large intestine meridian passes through here, so if there are problems with other meridians, massage or moxibustion at Jianjing point is also useful.
Jianjing point is an important point for treating pain. Toothache and headache, especially gallbladder migraine, can be treated.
Jianjing point is also an important point for the prevention and treatment of lymphoid tuberculosis, which is due to the stagnation of liver qi along the gallbladder meridian, which can not be discharged and blocked inside (the gallbladder meridian leads to the liver, and the liver and gallbladder shine together). I remember the teacher once said that the treatment of some diseases is the same, such as thyroid nodules, breast nodules, uterine fibroids, just like three melons on a vine, the root of the problem is the same. So when you catch the source, not only one disease can be solved, but other related diseases can also be solved.
Ashi point is a pain point, where there is no moxibustion, so easy.
In addition, two commonly used acupoints are introduced.
If it's too big, flush it. This point is the original point of the liver meridian, which is located at the back of the foot and behind the first metatarsal space.
Taichong point calms the liver and relieves heat, soothes the liver and nourishes blood, clears the lower energizer, and regulates the deficiency and excess of liver and liver meridian in two directions. Taichong point is a big detoxification point of human body, so people who can moxibustion Taichong point are very diligent. I'll talk about it in detail next time.
Located in the foot, behind the medial malleolus, the gap between the medial malleolus and the achilles tendon. This point is the original point of the kidney meridian, which can stimulate and mobilize the motive force of the body, nourish yin and kidney, and strengthen the yang and waist. It is not only a big reinforcing point of the kidney meridian, but also a big reinforcing point of the whole body. This point is also a common point for moxibustion.
In fact, I can say a lot about acupoints, but I always feel that acupoints are not the most important, the most important thing is to make them. Many people ask a lot, but not doing it is tantamount to asking in vain. Some people ask questions while doing it, and the effect is inverted.
It is also good to massage these acupoints, and conditional moxibustion is better. I hope women can take care of themselves and maintain themselves. For us, breasts are the most expensive house!
