What is the method of Eight-section Brocade of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

In terms of health preservation, people pay more attention to the health preservation method of traditional Chinese medicine. The health preservation of traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes nourishing qi and blood to regulate the body, and more importantly, it is to ensure good health. There are many wonderful prescriptions for health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine. Different people can choose different health preservation methods. Especially for many elderly friends, health preservation is the most critical. Then let me introduce the eight sections of health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine to you!

1. The sole of the foot is the second heart. Rubbing the Yongquan acupoint frequently is good for health.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the more than 60 acupuncture points on the feet are closely related to the 12 meridians of the internal organs, and are covered with reflex areas of related organs throughout the body. However, since the soles of the feet are far away from the heart and have low resistance, they are the body's congenital weak link, which objectively provides favorable conditions for the invasion of cold and damp evil spirits. Therefore, foot care is particularly important than other parts. Rubbing the Yongquan acupoint regularly after a warm bath can cure diseases and prolong life.

2. Swallow saliva 300 times a day and you will live to be 99

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that saliva is the essence of the human body, which is stored in the dantian, then transformed into essence, and plays the role of harmonizing the spleen and stomach, moistening the orifices, moistening the limbs and five internal organs, strengthening the kidneys and replenishing the essence, lubricating the joints, and nourishing the brain marrow. Therefore, it makes sense to swallow saliva frequently.

3. The head is the seat of intelligence. Combing your hair 500 times a day will cure all diseases.

The head is the home of intelligence. The 12 important meridians of the human body, more than 40 large and small acupuncture points, and more than a dozen special stimulation areas are all concentrated in the head. Using a wooden comb or bone comb instead of small silver needles to perform so-called acupuncture massage or stimulation on these acupoints and meridians can cure diseases and improve health. Combing your hair frequently is indeed a simple and easy longevity health care strategy that actively maintains the body's essence, energy, and spirit.

4. Relieve fatigue, keep fit and stretch, the blood circulation is the best

The so-called stretching refers to self-exercise including straightening the neck, raising arms, breathing to expand the chest, stretching the waist, moving the joints, and relaxing the spine.

5. Sit quietly and live longer, regulate your body, breath and mind

Medical research shows that emotions and health are closely linked. People who are optimistic and cheerful can keep their internal organs functioning healthily and enhance their resistance to external pathogens. At the same time, they can engage in sustained intellectual activities only when they are in a calm emotional state. Therefore, one of the ancient people’s ways of maintaining health was to calm the mind and relax the spirit.

6. Pinch the anus 100 times a day to cure diseases and prolong life

The anus is also called the anus. To pinch means to pull up and contract. In layman's terms, it means contracting the anus. In his "The Pillow Book", Sun Simiao advised people to "regularly squeeze the anus", believing that the muscles around the anus should always be in a state of exercise to maintain health and fitness, especially for preventing and treating hemorrhoids.

7. The kidney qi of a person is connected to the ears. Pulling, stretching and rubbing the ears can improve your health.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the ear is the external orifice of the kidney. If the ears are healthy, the kidney meridian is unobstructed, the kidney qi is sufficient, and the kidney essence is full, then the hearing will be sensitive. Pulling, massaging, rubbing, and pinching the ears are actually various forms of physical stimulation to the ears.

8. Improve sleep quality - four treasures

The sleep mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine is: when Yin is strong, one falls asleep (falls asleep); when Yang is strong, one wakes up (wakes up). Therefore, you should go to bed before midnight (21-23 o'clock) at night and enter the best sleeping state at midnight. Because according to the sleep theory of "Huangdi Neijing", midnight is the time when yin and yang meet, when water and fire interact, which is called "Yin He". It is the time of the day when yin energy is the heaviest. Yin controls tranquility, so one should have a deep sleep at midnight.
