Navel therapy can cure all diseases

Although the navel is a part that does not have many functions, in traditional Chinese medicine, it can be used to treat various diseases in the human body through a series of navel therapies. For example, navel cupping can treat diarrhea, colds, stubborn urticaria and other diseases. Navel moxibustion can relieve symptoms such as hiccups, nausea, and vomiting. Navel compresses can solve problems such as fever, insomnia, and high blood pressure. Below I will introduce you to the magical belly button therapy in detail.

1. Cupping

Cupping on the navel can restore yang and consolidate the body, treating long-term diarrhea; it can strengthen the body and eliminate evil, treating wind-cold type colds; it can promote blood circulation and dispel wind to treat stubborn urticaria; it can harmonize the middle and lower parts of the body, dredge the gastrointestinal qi, and treat pain around the navel and abdominal pain. Cupping is simple to operate and easy to master, but the cupping time should not be too long, especially for patients with cold and damp constitution who are prone to blisters, so 10 to 15 minutes each time is appropriate.

2. Moxibustion on the navel

Heavy moxibustion on Shenque point can have the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Generally, moxibustion or moxibustion with ginger or aconite cake for 10 to 30 minutes can warm the middle and dispel cold, warm and nourish the lower part of the body, treat abdominal pain caused by deficiency and cold, hiccups, nausea, vomiting caused by deficiency and cold of the spleen and stomach, and diarrhea and edema caused by deficiency of spleen and kidney yang.

3. Umbilical application method

Shenque is connected to the Ren, Du, Chong and Dai meridians, so applying medicine to the navel can exert its effects through the meridians throughout the body. The medicines applied to the navel are mostly spicy and aromatic drugs, which can penetrate quickly, reach the tissues and microcirculation, and achieve the purpose of harmonizing yin and yang and treating diseases. For example, applying berberine powder and bezoar powder can reduce fever; applying pearl powder and salvia miltiorrhiza powder can treat insomnia; applying Amomum villosum and Citrus aurantium can treat indigestion; grinding half of Evodia rutaecarpa and half of Chuanxiong into powder and applying it to the navel can lower blood pressure.

4. Navel drop method

The method is to convert the medicine into liquid and drip it into the navel, which is similar to navel compress. Some people claim that using Huoxiang Zhengqi drops placed on the navel can treat heatstroke, but this is a misunderstanding. Huoxiang Zhengqi type drugs can relieve exterior symptoms, eliminate dampness, regulate Qi and harmonize the middle, and can be used for summer gastrointestinal colds and some patients with heatstroke, but are not suitable for all patients with heatstroke.

Navel therapy is very good but it also has contraindications. In addition to prohibiting acupuncture to avoid infection, Shutong reminds you to pay attention to the following four points: First, it is forbidden for people with injuries or inflammation in the navel and pregnant women; second, it is not suitable to moxibustion the navel just after a meal or on an empty stomach; third, moxibustion should not be too close to the navel, otherwise it is easy to burn; fourth, it should be treated under the guidance of a doctor and according to each person's physical condition.
