1. Rub your forehead to boost your spirits

Many people have no impression of this action, but when you are tired or sleepy, you may subconsciously make this action. Rubbing your forehead when you feel tired will not only make your face comfortable, but also brighten your eyes and make you feel refreshed. It is a good way to refresh yourself. Place the palms and fingertips of both hands facing each other on the forehead, and push and rub in one direction from the midline to both sides, 30 to 50 times a day. This method can clear the mind and delay the appearance of "forehead wrinkles". It is better to perform it after waking up in the morning.

When rubbing, pay attention to your own physiological characteristics and don't be too reckless. People with dry skin should not rub their face too hard or too fast to avoid hurting the skin. If you rub your face too hard, it can easily cause high blood pressure, so you should stop when it is too late.

2. Rub your stomach to clean your intestines

Many people with big bellies have started rubbing their stomachs. In fact, elderly people with poor stomachs can also do this. Poor gastrointestinal health is a common problem. If you don’t pay attention to what you eat and drink, rubbing your belly can improve the symptoms a lot. Place your palms lightly on the epigastric area and massage in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This method can promote defecation if performed clockwise, and stop diarrhea if performed counterclockwise. In addition, doing it before going to bed can calm the mind and promote sleep.

3. Rub your ears to protect your hearing

To say that a person is in good health, "sharp hearing and sharp eyes" is a criterion. Nowadays, people’s hearing is not very good. It has little to do with age. If you want to improve your hearing, start with your ears. The ears are densely covered with acupuncture points that connect to various parts of the human body. When the body is sick, it usually shows on the ears. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney opens up to the ear. Rubbing the earlobes frequently can nourish the kidneys, strengthen the waist, maintain health and prolong life.

Even though it's only one acre and three mu of land, there are some rules to rubbing your ears. When rubbing your ears, you should rub the external helix (the outermost cartilage part of the ear that rolls inward), which can promote the filling of capillaries and improve peripheral circulation. When rubbing your ears, be careful not to use too much force so as not to hurt yourself. In addition, the elderly with severe heart disease, patients with ear ulcers, and some tumors should avoid rubbing their ears.

4. Rub the waist to warm the kidneys

All the internal organs need proper maintenance. The kidneys have always been of great concern to people, and to warm the kidneys you must rub the waist. The waist is located four fingers above the highest point of the human pelvis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the waist is located in the "belt meridian", which is where the kidneys are located. The kidneys like warmth and hate cold. Regular massage of the waist can warm the kidney yang and promote the flow of qi and blood. Rubbing the waist with your palms can not only dredge the belt meridian and strengthen the waist and spine, but also has the effect of consolidating essence and kidneys and prolonging life.

When massaging, rub your hands together to warm them up, press tightly on the waist, pause for a moment, and then rub downwards vigorously. Do it 50 to 100 times each time, once in the morning and once in the evening. After rubbing, lightly clench your fists and use the knuckles or the back of your fists to rotate and massage the waist area for about 5 minutes each time.

5. Rub the wings of your nose to prevent colds

Colds are a common disease in spring and involve many health problems. To prevent colds, you should rub the wings of your nose. Use the index fingers of both hands to start from the center of the eyebrows, push down along the bridge of the nose and then rub upwards. Do not use too much force. The best number of times to do this is when the nose wings turn slightly red. This method can speed up blood circulation in the nose, stimulate acupoints, and prevent colds and rhinitis. But be careful to keep your hands clean, otherwise it will contaminate your nose and damage your skin.

Rub your hands and feet 6 times to strengthen immunity

Immunity is the basis for disease prevention and resistance, and the strength of immunity is directly related to the severity of the disease. Many people's immunity is not very good, and improving immunity is inseparable from your hands and feet. Rub the palms or backs of your hands together until they turn red and warm. This can stimulate the acupoints on your hands and strengthen your body. Rub the soles of your feet with the palms of your hands until they are warm. This can improve your immunity and resistance and prevent colds and respiratory diseases.

Although the feet are not a part that directly threatens life, they are at least our "second heart". There are two types of foot rubbing: dry rubbing and wet rubbing: when rubbing dryly, hold the front of the left instep with your left hand, and rub the sole of the foot up and down 100 times with your right hand to make the sole of the foot warm, and then use your left hand to rub the sole of the right foot. The strength of rubbing should be suitable for your comfort. When rubbing wet, place your feet in a basin of warm water and soak until your feet turn red, then rub them using the dry rubbing method. In addition, diabetics should be careful when rubbing their feet.
