Four acupoints should be pressed frequently

Eliminate dryness

Press "Yingxiang" to moisten the lungs and prevent dryness

After entering autumn, the weather will gradually change from summer humidity to autumn dryness, which can easily harm the lungs and cause pneumonia. This season is also the peak period for chronic bronchitis, especially for the elderly who are more sensitive to climate changes and are prone to upper respiratory tract infections. In addition to doing acupoint massage, you should also pay attention to air circulation, exercise more, try to maintain a light diet, and improve your body's immunity. In addition, be sure to keep your room clean and tidy and avoid contact with allergens.

Tips: Pressing and rubbing the Yingxiang point has the effect of clearing away heat and dispersing wind, removing dryness and moistening the lungs, and unblocking the nasal passages. Yingxiang point is located about 0.5 inches from the outer edge of the nose and in the nasolabial groove. Before massage, relax your whole body, put the tip of your tongue against the upper palate, and place the tips of your middle fingers on the Yingxiang acupoint. When you feel a sore and swollen feeling, rub the acupoint with your middle fingers or index fingers for 20 to 30 times in each direction, until you feel soreness, swelling, and heat in the Yingxiang acupoint.

Nourishing the Heart

Press "Jiquan" to regulate Qi and protect the heart

When the "autumn tiger" is strong, many people will always feel depressed. This is mainly because the occasional temperature rise after autumn is comparable to that of midsummer. When the temperature exceeds 33℃, the human body's metabolism will significantly speed up, which will have a great impact on the blood circulation system. Qi and blood will not flow smoothly, and people will feel chest tightness. In addition, this season is the period when the human body's blood viscosity is the highest. If you do not pay attention to replenishing water in time, the high blood viscosity can easily cause a recurrence of heart disease.

Tips: Jiquan point is the first important point of the Heart Meridian of Hand Shaoyin, located at the apex of the armpit, where the axillary artery pulsates. This point is effective in treating heart pain, chest tightness, dry throat and thirst. Regularly tapping and pressing the "Jiquan" point can regulate qi and blood, thereby expanding the chest, regulating qi, and nourishing the heart and lungs. The force should be gentle and the movements should be continuous. The amount of tapping and pressing each time should vary from person to person, generally about 10 times.

stomachic

Follow the "Four Seams" to Prevent Autumn Fat Gain

After the beginning of autumn, the temperature gradually drops, and people's spleen and stomach functions gradually recover. The appetite is significantly better than in summer. In addition, some fat is needed in autumn to keep warm in winter. Therefore, after the beginning of autumn, it is a good time to eat meat and gain weight. But it should be noted that this is also the time when weight gain is the fastest. If you do not pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables and consume too much high-protein food, your weight will change significantly. Therefore, obese people should pay attention to strengthening their stomach and digestion to avoid rapid weight gain.

Tips: Sifeng point is a special point for eliminating food stagnation and removing stagnation. The acupoints are located at the center of the 1st and 2nd transverse lines of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th palm surfaces.

Heat and cold prevention

Press "Zusanli" to strengthen the body and reduce internal heat

The cold during the last period of the dog days is still a summer cold, commonly known as a "heat cold". That is, in a hot environment, the body's sweat pores open, sweat leaks out, and the body is exposed to wind evil, causing a cold. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, this is because the body consumes a lot of energy during the dog days of summer and the body's immunity decreases. Many citizens were not knocked down by the heat during the first and second dog days, but could not hold on during the last dog days. This was mainly because they had overdrawn their resistance in the previous period and neglected their health care recently.

Tips: "Zusanli" is a golden acupoint for strengthening the body, nourishing the stomach and relieving internal heat. This point is located four finger widths below the outer knee. One of the most commonly used massage methods is to make a fist, use the back of the first joint of the index finger as a focus, or spread your hands naturally, use the web of your thumb as a focus, and massage in circles on the selected acupoints. Massage each acupoint for 3 to 5 minutes.
