Chinese Medicine

Although traditional Chinese medicine does not specifically treat tendons, various stretching methods have always existed in the practice of martial arts, qigong, and yoga plus exercise. There is a saying in Taoism: the tendon is an inch long and its life span is ten years. So longevity people usually have a soft pair of bones. At present, there is no concept of muscle contraction in western medicine. Many patients have been treated for a long time and the cause is not known. For example, some muscle contractions are regarded as lumbar disc herniation. In the process of stretching, the general doctor thinks that when the patient feels that the muscles are tightened and painful, they should stop to avoid straining the muscles. In fact, it is precisely because the muscles are contracted that it is not easy to pull them apart, so the tighter they must be, the tighter they become, the tighter they become, and they will become looser after being pulled over the pain points. But not desperately pulling! People who are not sick want to avoid muscle cramps and can stretch muscles every day. One of the best ways to stay healthy is to stick to the muscles on weekdays.

Stretching can not only promote sleep, but also has more benefits: anti-cancer, anti-cancer, promotion of whole-body qi and blood circulation, rejuvenation, and longevity. It can generally improve various chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, kidney disease, liver disease, Frozen shoulder, insomnia, stubborn personality, irritable mood ...

1. Pulling the abdominal muscles: The method is to kneel on the bed or cushion, put the instep on the bed or cushion, and then pull the heels of the feet to the left and right sides, then let the hips fall, sit on the bed or cushion, and let the body Lean back slowly. Touch your head to the bed or pad first, then lie down slowly on your back, face facing the sky, press your back against the bed or pad, and hold for 60 seconds before getting up. This action often causes soreness in the hamstrings and should be patient. After a long time, the soreness will be relieved, so that people will not endure it.

2. Pull back muscles: There are two types of pull. The first is to straighten your legs on the bed or pad, and then touch your knees with your forehead at least 10 times. Keep your legs straight as much as possible, and try not to bend your knees upwards. The second is to sit on the bed or mat with the palms facing up, palms facing up, the little toes of the feet close together, and then touch the big toe of the foot with your forehead for at least 30 strokes. It's hard to come across at first, but you'll run into it after a long practice.

3. Pulling the hamstrings: It is also called "split leg", which is a kind of all kinds of difficult to pull the hamstrings. Once practiced, it can be regarded as a great achievement in life. Its action is to split the legs to the left and right. At the beginning, the hips are very high from the bed or cushion surface, but as long as you are not discouraged and persistent, one day your hips can be pressed against the bed surface or cushion surface so that your legs become a straight line. For this movement to be successful, it must have extraordinary confidence, perseverance and perseverance. Practice it at home, as long as you pull it every day, you will succeed one day. As long as you pull every day and endure soreness, your thighs will definitely change, they will become soft and elastic. The hamstring is the largest and toughest tendon on the human body, and even if you pull it hard, you won't break it. Don't be afraid. Practise split legs on the cushion every day for two minutes each time, watch the table, and get up and walk for two minutes. After walking for one or two minutes, continue to pull, five times a day. After a period of time, the height of the hips from the ground has gradually decreased, and my confidence has been strengthened, and I firmly believe that we can succeed.

4. Grips: Grips are also a chore for older people, but it's easier than practicing leg splits. The method of pulling the tendons is to hold the back of the palm of the right hand against the spine, with the palms facing outwards and the fingers facing upwards. Then use your left finger to extend down from your left shoulder and hook up with your right finger. Use at least two index fingers, middle fingers, ring fingers to cross each other. You can't hook it at first, you can make a loop with a rope to help. Hold the rope loop with your left hand and hang down behind your back, let your fingers of your right hand catch it, and then use your left hand to pull it up with force. Pull a few times a day for a few minutes each time. When the tendons gradually become softer and longer, you don't need a rope ring to help you. You can directly hook each other's fingers for at least half a minute or one minute.

Its effect is to relax the shoulder bones and bones, and it is absolutely effective in treating shoulder periarthritis. The right hand can be pulled down, the left hand can be pulled up, and the left hand is down, and the right hand is hooked up. Therefore, you ca nt practice the pull with the left hand down and the right hand up. The shoulders of the first exercises often feel as stiff and tense as concrete, and very uncomfortable.

5. Neck Tension: Many people feel that their neck is stiff and uncomfortable. This is due to their older age and poor blood circulation to the neck. The cure is to do gymnastics every day. The method is: stand with both feet and shoulder width, and then slowly bend your body to the right, you must bend to the right ear hole toward the ground, then slowly bend your body to the left, and also bend the left ear hole to the ground. From left to right, you can do it continuously for at least 3 minutes, and you can do it about 120 times. If you have chronic rhinitis, this exercise should be done for at least 10 minutes a day. When the chronic rhinitis is better, it can be reduced to 3 minutes a day.

Two basic methods of stretching method one: lying position stretching method

The direct effects of stretching muscles are pain relief, detoxification, and sexual enhancement, while indirect effects are numerous. What is the principle?

First, the direction of the twelve tendons is the same as that of the twelve meridians. Therefore, the meridians at the tendon contraction are not accessible. During the stretch, there will be pain in the crotch, the inner thighs, and the popliteal fossa, which indicates that the muscles in these areas are contracted, and the corresponding meridians are not smooth. Stretching tendons to soften the tendons and restore the dislocation of the spine, so "the bones are tendon tender and the blood flows freely", so the pain, numbness, swelling and other symptoms of the waist, knees, limbs and the whole body are eliminated and slowed down

Secondly, Lajin can open the back veins and bladder meridians, which is of great significance to health, because the veins are the channel of the yang and the vital energy channel. This pulse channel strengthens the kidney function, and the kidney is the innate essence. The source, the energy and strong sexual ability of a person depend on the strong kidney function. Du veins are on the spine, and the spinal cord runs through the brain, so the spine is inextricably linked to brain diseases. Ren Du's second pulse is a cyclic circle on the human body, which is what Ren Du's second pulse is to reach. The bladder meridian is the body's largest detoxification system and an important barrier against wind chills. If the bladder meridians are unobstructed, wind chills are difficult to invade, internal poisons are discharged at any time, and symptoms such as obesity, constipation, acne, and stains are naturally eliminated and reduced. The bladder meridian is where the acupoints of the viscera are located, that is, every acupuncture point with the same name as the viscera on the bladder meridians on both sides of the spine. Unblocking the bladder meridian is beneficial to all viscera. According to western medical theory, the main nerves and blood vessels connecting the brain and the viscera are attached to the spine and the bones on both sides. Unblocking the spine up and down naturally cleared many visible fortresses, obstacles and invisible mines and traps.

Thirdly, the tendons are softened and the three meridians of the liver, spleen and kidney on the inner thigh are improved. Many medical books have introduced that the smooth passage of these three classics makes a person's sexual function powerful. Therefore, some books encourage people to practice splitting, but this is too difficult for ordinary people, and it is still the most convenient. The imperfections of these three meridians are also the cause of reproductive and urinary system diseases, such as men's impotence, premature diarrhea, prostatitis, women's dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, pigmentation, uterine fibroids, and breast hyperplasia. . Therefore, if men want to enhance their sexual abilities and women want to cure various gynecological diseases, one of the easiest and most effective methods is to stretch the muscles. This method is simple and effective, and can be implemented at home and in the office, regardless of weather and site restrictions.

Pulling pain, numbness, sourness, swelling, is it a blessing or a curse? For all kinds of patients, or those with stiff muscles and stiff muscles, the primary response to stretching muscles is pain, numbness, soreness, swelling, itching, and sleepiness, which are basically the same as those of acupuncture, acupoints, and qigong. People who do not understand are often fussed and afraid to continue to stretch, thinking that it will damage the body. In fact, this is a natural phenomenon generated during the course of natural remedies. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it the Qi Chong lesion, that is, the physiological reaction that occurs in the human body when the righteousness of the human body is mobilized and activated to hold the evil atmosphere. It can be called the darkness before dawn.

This response is actually a good thing, it tells people that blocked meridians are being opened up. In addition to the above reactions, some stretchers may have erythema, rash, blisters, and various symptoms of discomfort such as dizziness, headache, belching, and nausea. They may also have spitting, runny nose, snoring, farting, and ache. There are all kinds of strong reactions such as stinky feces and very urinary urine. In fact, these are detoxification reactions. Not only do you not need to be nervous, but you should be glad and congratulated. In the face of the above symptoms, we should chase after victory and continue to stretch and beat. After internal cleaning and detoxification, the body will gradually return to normal, become healthier, and even reborn. It should be emphasized that even after the disease is cured, you should continue to stretch and beat, and develop a habit of maintaining it for life, instead of taking medicine and injection. But the time and intensity of the stretching is reduced, and the treatment of the disease is health care. Some people ask why you need to stretch your muscles every day. In fact, this is different from eating every day? Do you like taking medicine and injections so much every day?

Some people worry that it will cause strains and meat. In fact, stretching is a natural and reasonable action. Pain, numbness, soreness, and swelling all indicate that Qi and blood are unreasonable. Stretching is actually much safer than traction, because stretching is the ability of a person to stretch their own muscles, which can be controlled by force and time, and there is a limit to pulling himself, that is, he will never pull the muscles and meat out of his body. However, the traction is easy to pull out the accident, because the external force is pulling, not the patient's own control. Since the first edition of this book was released, especially since I played with Liang Dong on the Central People's Broadcasting Station "Voice of China" series, I have received a large number of readers and listeners' consultations on my blog and email every day. The most common question is Worry and fear of gas-rushed lesions, mistake good things for bad things, and wrong rewards for punishment. Of all kinds of problems, the most common concern is pain.

Because it hurts, you have to stretch your muscles; because it hurts, you have to pull it hard. But the pain must be within the range that you can tolerate, and the strength and time of the tendons can be flexibly controlled. Beginners, those who are seriously ill, and the elderly do not need to pull too hard at the beginning, nor do they need to be in place at one time. It is best to gradually increase the stretching time and increase the intensity gradually. As long as you keep stretching for a long time, the end result will only be more comfortable and healthy.

Difference from leg press, yoga, traction, dance

1. The biggest difference is that the stretching is simple and effective, that is, learning will be immediate. For most patients with various types of waist, back and leg pain, it can be effective at once, which can be seen as immediate results;

2. It has a wide range of applications and popularization. It is suitable for men, women, children, and children. It can be used in homes and offices. It is effective in preventing, curing and fitness.

3. Traction, dancing, leg press, and yoga are all dynamic, easy to get out of control and injured. However, the tendons are static, but the time and intensity of the tendons can be controlled by themselves. Whether lying on the back or standing, the tendons will not turn the waist and joints. , So it is not easy to strain, and the safety index is high;

4. The tendon method will stretch the tendons more completely, pulling all the tendons from the cervical spine to the back, knees, heels, hip joints and inner thighs. There will be "carpet bombardment" sweeps of whole body lesions and imperfect meridians. effect. In other sports, only the local tendons are pulled apart;

5. When you stretch your muscles, you can both close your eyes and listen to music, and listen to music and meditation. It can be described as "revolutionary production is correct."

First of all, Lajin can be practiced by everyone because it is easy to learn and has a significant effect. Most people can learn it in one minute. I have researched and tried various methods of external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, and found that whether it is acupuncture, acupoint, massage, or massage, you must have a certain understanding of the meridian and acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine. Most people have difficulty. It is not easy to remember the common acupuncture points, it is even more difficult to master a few hundred points.

Secondly, other external treatment methods have stricter requirements on techniques, strength, and equipment. If you pay no attention, you will make mistakes, and there is no method that can be suitable for men, women, children, and children.

Third, traditional Chinese medicine has never had a health tool that is as popular as western medicine, such as stethoscopes, thermometers, etc. The appearance of lacing stools makes up for this gap and allows anyone to vividly experience the principles of traditional Chinese medicine and meridians. , Curative effect.
