It is also an important acupoint in our human body, called Shenque point. We can judge whether we are healthy or have some kind of disease by observing the change of navel every day. Today I will talk to you about the relationship between navel and health.
The navel is a big hole in the human body.
In essence, the navel is a scar left after the umbilical cord falls off after the fetus is born. In traditional Chinese medicine, navel is a place where diseases can be prevented and treated, and it is the only acupoint that people can see and touch-Shenque. In the eyes of Chinese medicine, Shenque point is a big point for health preservation.
Because in ancient times, the navel was considered as the acupoint connecting the five internal organs, and it was considered that "the navel is the root of the five internal organs and the root of the vitality returning to Tibet". Maintaining navel and pressing navel can prevent diseases and prolong life. At the same time, the different changes of navel are also the reflection of visceral health or disease.
Umbilical differentiation
Can a small navel distinguish diseases? Maybe many people will be curious about this or don't believe it. In traditional Chinese medicine, the navel is the acupoint connecting the five internal organs, so any problems of the five internal organs will be reflected on the navel. Gastrointestinal diseases, in particular, can be seen clearly from the navel. Let's look at different shapes of navel, which all reflect the state of the body.
1. Round (the healthiest navel shape): If a woman's navel is round, it means that she is healthy and her ovaries are functioning well; Men say they are energetic, have normal blood pressure and are in good health.
2. Bottom shape: attention should be paid to preventing gastroptosis, constipation, chronic gastrointestinal diseases and gynecological diseases.
3. Upward shape: The navel extends upward, almost becoming a triangle with the top facing upward. People with this navel should pay more attention to the health of the stomach, gallbladder and pancreas.
4. Sea snake (shape is crack, navel can't be seen): It is a sign of liver diseases such as cirrhosis, so be careful.
5. Full moon shape: it looks firm and full, and the lower abdomen is elastic, which is a sign of good ovarian function in women.
6. Left navel: symptoms such as poor gastrointestinal function, constipation or colorectal mucosal lesions should be prevented.
7. Right navel: Pay attention to diseases such as hepatitis and duodenal ulcer.
8. navel protrusion: when there is a large amount of stagnant water or ovarian cysts in the abdomen, the navel will protrude outward.
9. navel depression: when obesity or abdominal inflammation, such as adhesive tuberculous peritonitis, the navel will be depressed inward.
10. Shallow navel: indicates weakness, abnormal hormone secretion in the body, general weakness and poor mental state.
Remind everyone that the navel cannot be buckled.
The navel is a concave hole, which is very easy to shelter evil people and shelter evil people, but it is not easy to clean in our daily cleaning. After a long time, there will be pieces of dirt inside. Many people look uncomfortable and will clean it up by themselves.
In fact, this is a very dangerous move. Because our navel is the closest position between our internal organs and the outside world. If we dig hard, it will implicate the internal organs. If we don't dig well, it may lead to infection, inflammation and even affect the stomach.
Therefore, you'd better not touch the navel at will. If you really want to clean it, you can try to wipe it gently with a wet cotton swab first. The action must be light, just wipe the edge where it is easy to rub.
So don't button your navel if everyone is okay.
