Massage introduction:
Traditional Chinese medicine treats the human body by pushing, holding, lifting, kneading and massaging meridians and acupoints with hands. Massage is a non-drug natural therapy and physical therapy.
Usually, it means that doctors use their own hands to act on the patient's body surface, injured parts, uncomfortable places, specific acupoints and painful places, and use various methods and forces such as pushing, taking, pressing, rubbing, pointing and patting to achieve the effects of dredging meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, healing and relieving pain, eliminating pathogenic factors and strengthening the body resistance, harmonizing yin and yang, and prolonging life.
The main features of massage:
Massage is economical and simple, because it does not need special medical equipment and is not limited by time, place and climatic conditions, and can be implemented anytime and anywhere; And is stable and reliable, easy to learn and use, and has no side effects. It is precisely because of these advantages that massage has become a health and fitness measure deeply loved by the masses.
For normal people, it can enhance the natural disease resistance of human body and achieve the effect of health care; For patients, it can not only make the local symptoms subside, but also accelerate the recovery of the affected function, thus receiving good treatment results.
Benefits of massage:
Harmonize qi and blood:
Luo Hong, a health care practitioner in the Ming Dynasty, said in the book Immortal Immortal Immortality: "Massage can dredge the orifices and spin Wei Rong". Wei Rong here means to harmonize qi and blood. Because massage acts on the human body along the meridians and acupoints with soft strength, and regulates the whole body through the conduction of the meridians, thus harmonizing the qi and blood of the camp and health and enhancing the health of the body.
Modern medicine believes that the mechanical stimulation of massage can raise the temperature of local tissues, promote capillary dilation, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce blood viscosity, reduce peripheral vascular resistance, and reduce the burden on the heart, so it can prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.
Improve immunity:
Such as infantile dysentery, the symptoms are relieved or disappeared after massage; When the child has dry and wet rales in his lungs, press the small stripes. Palm stripes are effective. Someone did a health massage of the same age group in parallel with the control group. After massage, the incidence of children decreased, and their height, weight and appetite were higher than those of the control group.
The above clinical practice and other animal experiments have proved that massage has the functions of anti-inflammation, antipyretic, enhancing immunity and enhancing human disease resistance.
