Three acupuncture points that will warm your whole body

　　The cold winter is here again, and the weather will get colder and colder. Even if you wear heavy clothes, when you go home at night, the cold wind blowing will make you feel biting, especially for your hands, feet and exposed skin. What should you do? You might as well try acupuncture point warming! I believe it can bring you a little warmth in the biting cold winter!

　　The upper limbs are afraid of cold - mainly Yangchi, massage the arms

　　Stroke upward from the inside of the palm to the junction of the arm and shoulder, then stroke downward from the outside of the arm to the fingers, three times in a row, and then stroke the other arm. Because there are three yin and yang meridians on the arm, stroking the arm can dredge the yin and yang meridians on the arm and solve the disharmony between yin and yang.

　　Yangchi point (on the back of the hand and wrist, along the inside of the little finger to the horizontal crease on the back of the wrist) is an important point that controls blood circulation and hormone secretion throughout the body. Stimulating this point can quickly improve blood circulation, warm the body, and eliminate chills. To stimulate the Yangchi point, it is best to do it slowly, for a long time, and with gentle intensity. It is best to use both hands together. First press the Yangchi point of the other hand with the middle finger of one hand, and then switch to pressing the Yangchi point of the other hand with the middle finger of the other hand. This posture can naturally transfer power from the middle finger to the Yangchi point.

　　The whole body is afraid of cold - Dazhui Tongyang

　　When you lower your head, feel the most protruding high bone at the back of the neck. Below this high bone is the Dazhui point. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "Dazhui connects yang" because this point is the intersection of the Du meridian and the six yang meridians. Dazhui is an important acupoint for regulating the body's fear of cold. Warm moxibustion on the Dazhui point can unblock meridians and disperse cold, which is also an important method to relieve the body's fear of cold.

　　Female friends with cold hands and feet may wish to apply hot water to the Dazhui point for about 10 minutes every time they take a bath until the skin at the acupuncture point turns red - this acts like warm moxibustion. When the whole head, neck, back and even the whole body feel hot, stop and keep warm after bathing and have a good sleep; or rub the Dazhui point with the palm of your hand for 5-10 minutes each morning and evening, until the acupoint feels sore and hot.

　　Dazhui point can also prevent and treat colds. If you feel that a cold is coming and you have prodromal symptoms such as dizziness, headache, nasal congestion, and itchy throat, you can rub the Dazhui point on the back of the neck with your palms until the skin becomes hot and red. This can help the body to invigorate Yang Qi and resist external evils.

　　Lower limbs are afraid of cold - Massage Yongquan

　　First, use your right palm to quickly rub the sole of your left foot, and then use your left palm to quickly rub the sole of your right foot until you feel warm. Rub it 100 times every morning and evening, and then rub each toe another 100 times.

　　Traditional Chinese medicine believes that many meridians of the human body converge on the soles of the feet and are closely related to various organs, tissues, and organs throughout the body. Yongquan is known as the hub of "grounding Qi". Massage and massage can regulate Qi, blood and sleep, stimulate Yongquan point, which is beneficial to nourishing the kidneys, strengthening yang, and strengthening muscles and bones. Regularly rubbing this point will inevitably lead to the recovery of cold hands and feet and cold-sensitive lower limbs.

　　Everyone knows about these three acupuncture points that can warm up the body. In the cold winter, if you want to make yourself warm, you need to press one acupoint 100 times. Don’t be lazy!
