Now more and more people attach importance to massage, especially acupoint massage. Although acupoint massage can play a very good role in nursing the body, to some extent, if you don't know the acupoints of the body, don't press them casually, which is easy to cause problems, especially because many people think that pressing them casually in all parts of the body is likely to threaten life safety. Now let's find out.
First, the following four acupoints should not be pressed at will during acupoint massage.
1, Temple
Next, let's take a look. The temple is mainly in front of the auricle, on both sides of the forehead, and above the extension line of the outer corner of the eye. The place where you can feel pain by pressing with your hand is the temple. Temples, also known as dead spots, are very fragile parts of the human body. This is because there are many arteries under the temple. If you press it at will, it may directly lead to death. After watching a lot of gun battles, when you hit people or threaten others, you will point a gun at the temple, which is described by the characteristics of the artery under the temple. If aortic bleeding is difficult to stop, it is particularly easy to bleed to death.
Temples are also an important part of our bodies. Many people are too busy at work at ordinary times, so they will stop and press their temples, thinking that this will refresh their minds. As we all know, the temple is the closest part to the skull, and it is extremely fragile. There are a lot of blood vessels distributed here. If it is pressed improperly, it will easily lead to the rupture of blood vessels and lead to a series of dangerous situations. So I hope you can pay more attention to them and take good care of their position in the future.
2. Carotid sinus
As the name implies, the carotid sinus is located in the neck, on the upper edge of thyroid cartilage, at the beginning of internal carotid artery, that is, on both sides of the midline of larynx, and moves outward about one centimeter. The neck is the key to connect the body and the head, so there are a lot of blood vessels and arteries in it, and the carotid sinus is the starting point of these arteries, which is also a very dangerous part.
If you press the carotid sinus, it will easily lead to a rapid drop in blood pressure in the body and block blood supply to the brain. Once cerebral ischemia occurs, it will easily lead to dizziness and shock. If it is not relieved in time, it will even threaten life safety. Therefore, it is recommended that you touch this part as little as possible.
It is a special structure on arterial blood vessels, which can sense the change of blood pressure and adjust the frequency of heart beating and vasoconstriction according to blood pressure. Pressing the carotid sinus is prone to slow heartbeat, blood pressure drop, and even fainting, so this acupoint is also called "dead point", so generally don't touch him!
Due to excessive massage or excessive stretching and twisting of the neck, the intima of the vertebral artery wall of the brain is torn and peeled, which eventually leads to cerebral infarction. Once a rough massage, especially if it is stuck on the neck and forcibly broken, it may cause them to tear, which may lead to blood vessel rupture, massive hemorrhage or acute occlusion of blood vessels, that is, cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. The woman's sudden cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke) after massage in the news was caused by pressing the acupoint of carotid sinus. Improper massage leads to dislocation of the neck, which in turn leads to cerebral infarction, leading to dysfunction of the central nervous system and timely death. In addition to causing a cerebral infarction like the girls in the news, pressing the carotid sinus may also lead to a slow heartbeat, a drop in blood pressure, coma and even a serious risk of death. ? The neck has a special position and many important neurovascular physiological structures. Neck discomfort and pain, rough and improper massage may lead to disastrous consequences.
Here, I especially remind young couples that "passionately planting strawberries" can also easily lead to vascular dissection, which is a very dangerous phenomenon. Planting strawberries in the neck will not only peel off the artery, but also easily touch the carotid sinus, causing carotid sinus syncope and endangering life. For example, after making out, common couples like to plant "strawberries" on each other's necks, especially young people, who like to use "strawberry seals" to express their possessiveness. In fact, this romantic "strawberry print" is due to the rupture of subcutaneous capillaries, that is, when kissing each other's neck, they are too hard and have congestion. Such an explanation is not only unromantic, but also dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, there is no danger in simply kissing the neck, but you should pay attention when planting strawberries. This is not an alarmist, because planting strawberries is very easy to squeeze into the carotid sinus of the kissed person, which makes his heartbeat and breathing stop suddenly and eventually leads to death.
3. Baihui point
I believe everyone is not familiar with Baihui point. Baihui point is the highest point of human body, commonly known as Changshou point. At the intersection of the head midline and the connecting line between the two ear tips, the health care and exercise of this acupoint can improve the vitality of human body and regulate the function of the heart system, which has a good therapeutic effect on headache, dizziness and hypotension. However, if Baihui point is not massaged properly, it will immediately lose consciousness.
4. Dumen Point
There is a blind spot hidden in the posterior cervical fossa, which is located in the posterior neck and the middle and posterior midline of the depression on the spinous process of the second cervical vertebra. Peripheral connective ligament is an important part of neck movement. If it is badly stimulated, it will easily cause bad damage to local soft tissue. If the massage method is wrong, it will not only cure the disease, but will cause voice loss.
Pressing Yamen point must be done by professional medical personnel. Touching it wrong will make the body feel particularly uncomfortable, and there will be symptoms such as chest tightness, breathlessness, dizziness and nausea. In severe cases, there will be unsteady walking, cold sweat, numbness of hands and feet and slight twitching of fingers.
Second, the correct massage technique
The methods of acupoint massage in traditional Chinese medicine mainly include: pressing, pushing, pinching and kneading. You can choose according to your own habits. In addition, two or more methods can also be combined to massage acupoints. Don't be too heavy with your hands. Gentleness can achieve nourishing effect. Acupoints are the key adjustment points in human meridians, and correct acupoint massage can play a role in dredging meridians. When doing acupoint massage, you must find the right acupoints and then press them in a targeted way, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.
1, different massage techniques
Pushing method: there are rotary pushing and reinforcing, direct pushing and purging (pointing to the direction of root); Bend your fingers straight to make up the thrust, and push your hands straight to make them diarrhea; Push it up, push it down.
Spin-push method: this method has the following statements: diarrhea caused by forward transport, tonic caused by reverse transport, sweating caused by left transport, cooling caused by right transport, vomiting stopped by left transport and diarrhea stopped by right transport.
Membrane method: the forward membrane method is the supplement, and the reverse membrane method is the diarrhea; Palm rubbing is a supplement, which means rubbing is diarrhea; Slow rubbing is tonic, and urgent rubbing is diarrhea.
2. Color matching and purification of massage technology
When you massage, you need to keep in mind the following rules in order to master the reinforcing and reducing massage techniques well:
● In terms of massage strength, lightly press the tonic, and then press the tonic. It can be understood that people feel more comfortable when they are on time, and their bodies are in a relaxed state, just like a good sleep, so they have a nourishing effect; When the load is on time and the stimulation is intense, the energy of the human body will suddenly gather at the stimulation point, and part of the excess energy will be consumed, so it has the effect of diarrhea.
● Massage direction, the direction along the meridian is supplement, and the direction against the meridian is diarrhea. The direction of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine is different. The three yin meridians of the hand are from the chest to the hand, the three yang meridians of the hand are from the hand to the head, the three yang meridians of the foot are from the head to the toe, and the three yin meridians of the foot are from the foot to the head. Analysis of the truth, probably along the direction of the meridians, increased the power for the blood circulation in the meridians, so in order to supplement, reverse massage increased the resistance for the blood circulation in the meridians and consumed the power, so it was diarrhea. In addition, when kneading in a circular motion, clockwise is the supplement and counterclockwise is the diarrhea.
● In terms of massage frequency, slow massage is tonic and fast massage is diarrhea. This is also related to the degree of stimulation. In slow massage, it increases energy for qi and blood circulation, while in fast massage, the energy of the body is in a divergent state, so it is tonic and diarrhea respectively.
3. Frequency and time of acupoint massage
The number of massages depends on the specific condition. For chronic diseases and people with chronic diseases, they can be treated once a day, and the daily treatment time is between 10 and 20 minutes. Massage 30-50 times per acupoint is appropriate. Manipulation should be supplemented, that is, the manipulation should be light and the force should be light.
Third, points for attention of acupoint massage
1, smoking and drinking are prohibited before meridian and acupoint massage, so as to ensure the surrounding air circulation.
2. Massage the meridian points one hour after meals. It is forbidden to massage acupoints on an empty stomach or full stomach.
3, in the process of meridian acupoint massage, try to massage the acupoints when exhaling, so that the pain is small and it is convenient for acupoint stimulation and conduction.
There are many acupoints in the human body, which should be paid attention to in daily life. It is recommended to go to a regular massage shop for massage. I am not familiar with acupoints and can't grasp the strength. It is still recommended not to press it casually to avoid adverse effects.
