Poking at this critical moment can save lives

In English, there is a phrase called "first aid", which means first aid. In a sense, proper first aid is equivalent to a life, while untimely first aid will result in great sorrow and regret. The purpose of first aid is to save life and promote the recovery of various body functions. In traditional Chinese medicine, there is also first aid, which can also save people's lives at critical moments. The first aid method is to massage the corresponding acupoints. This article introduces 5 important acupuncture points. I hope that readers will remember them carefully. They can even save lives at critical moments. The specific contents are as follows:

The savior of hypertension patients - Laogong acupoint

In life, we call high blood pressure the invisible killer. It is ranked alongside coronary heart disease and cerebral stroke as the biggest health threat to mankind. Hypertension can be a serious or minor disease. In mild cases, long-term antihypertensive medication can be used to maintain a normal life, while in severe cases, it can even cause sudden death. What is more noteworthy is that the blood pressure of patients with hypertension is unstable. In crisis situations such as excitement, anger, rage or excitement, the blood pressure often rises sharply, causing a sudden decrease in blood supply to many organs and causing lesions, especially damage to the heart, brain and kidneys, which can easily cause sudden death. What should you do at this time? As a family member of the patient, you must press the Laogong point in time.

Laogong acupoint is the name of a meridian point. In the palm of our hands, when we make a fist, the place where the tip of the middle finger touches the palm is Laogong acupoint. "Lingshu Benshu" also calls it the center of the palm, which belongs to the hand Jueyin pericardium meridian. When the human body experiences symptoms such as a sudden rise in blood pressure, coma, fainting, heatstroke, vomiting, heartache, madness, epilepsy, mouth ulcers, bad breath, and tinea pedis, you can press the Laogong point, which can effectively improve various symptoms and even save lives for patients with hypertension. The specific operation method is to use your two thumbs to press the opposite Laogong points alternately. When pressing, you should keep calm and breathe evenly.

The savior of fainting patients - Hegu acupoint

I remember that during the summer military training, many people fainted from heatstroke because of standing at attention under the scorching sun. I was very nervous at the time, fearing that I would also faint from heatstroke. In summer, fainting due to heatstroke is very common. The best first aid method at this time is to pinch the Hegu point on the back of your hand with your thumb (located between the first and second metacarpal bones on the back of both hands, close to the second metacarpal bone). Generally, continue kneading for about 3 minutes and the fainting symptoms will disappear. Not only that, Hegu point is also used for emergency treatment of fainting caused by stroke, collapse, etc., and can effectively promote the body's recovery.

The savior of angina patients - Zhiyang Point

In life, there are many middle-aged men in their 40s who often suffer from angina pectoris. The symptoms are mostly caused by atherosclerosis in the patient's coronary arteries, which causes blood vessel narrowing, insufficient coronary blood supply, and temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Generally speaking, angina pectoris mainly manifests itself as pain in the precordial area, with the main characteristic being paroxysmal squeezing pain in the anterior chest, which may radiate to the precordial area and left upper limb.

Many patients will suffer from angina pectoris when they are excited, angry, tired, or when their body, mind, or emotions are unstable. They may even suffer from angina pectoris in cold, rainy weather, or even after eating a full meal. Mild cases can be cured by a short rest, while severe cases will experience persistent chest pressure and suffocation. At this time, the patient, his/her family members and people around him/her must press the patient's Zhiyang point in time (located in the depression below the spinous process of the 7th thoracic vertebra, that is, the midpoint of the line connecting the lower edges of the scapular angles on both sides through the spine when lying down with arms hanging down), which can effectively relieve angina pectoris. In normal times, insisting on pressing the Zhiyang point 3 to 4 times on time every day can also effectively prevent angina pectoris.

The savior of patients with renal colic - Sanyinjiao acupoint

For those who have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine or are more concerned about health preservation, the professional term "Sanyinjiao Point" should be very familiar. Sanyin refers to the three yin meridians of the foot (located 3 inches above the medial malleolus of the foot). Jiao means intersection, and Sanyinjiao acupoint is where the qi and blood of the three yin meridians of the foot intersect. Sanyinjiao acupoint involves the spleen, liver and kidney of the five internal organs. The acupoint material includes the damp heat provided by the spleen meridian, the damp wind provided by the liver meridian, and the cold air provided by the kidney meridian. The qi and blood of the three yin meridians meet here, hence the name Sanyinjiao acupoint. Because it connects to the kidney meridian, massaging this point can effectively relieve renal colic.

We often hear about angina pectoris, but what is renal colic? Renal colic is a type of colic that affects the kidneys and ureters. In many cases, it occurs as an acute condition, often manifested as sudden onset of severe pain. The pain starts from the affected waist and radiates along the ureter to the lower abdomen, groin, inner thigh, testicles or labia, and can last for several minutes or tens of minutes, or even several hours. The attacks are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating, pale complexion, and restlessness. In severe cases, it can lead to shock. Get to know the Sanyinjiao point. When pain occurs, press this point with your thumb for 3 to 5 minutes to effectively relieve the pain.

In modern medicine, there is "First Aid", which also exists in traditional Chinese medicine. Just like artificial respiration, sometimes lightly pressing a certain acupoint can achieve the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives. Whether it is Laogong point, Hegu point, Zhiyang point or Sanyinjiao point, each one is a very easy to find and identify acupuncture points. In an emergency, scientific and effective pressing will produce amazing results.
