Five "special areas" of a woman's body: A "dirtier" belly button is healthier

In traditional Chinese medicine, observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation are the most basic steps. Why can the doctor know what's wrong with you just by looking at you? The key is to find the right place. In daily life, if we look in the right place, we can also know where our problems lie!

Special Zone 1: Abdomen and Umbilical Cord

The navel area is a health care "fortress" that health experts attach great importance to. Traditional Chinese medicine calls the navel in the center of the abdomen "Shenque". Massaging, stimulating and conditioning the abdomen and navel can benefit the lungs and strengthen the kidneys, calm the mind, soothe the liver and promote bile secretion, clear the three burners, and prevent disease and strengthen the body.

Abdominal massage also has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease and obesity.

Health care methods:

Overlap your hands and press them on your navel. Apply moderate force while keeping your breathing natural and rub your abdomen around the navel in a clockwise direction.

For people who lack daily exercise, it is recommended to develop the habit of patting the lower and middle abdomen with both palms alternately (once per second) for 20 minutes in leisure time or while taking a walk, which can promote abdominal metabolism.

What is umbilical feces?

The navel is the only acupuncture point in the human body that can be touched with the hands and seen with the eyes. It is called Shenque. Shenque point is the channel through which the fetus obtains nutrition from the mother before birth. During embryonic development, it is directly connected to the abdominal wall. Medicines can easily pass through the navel, enter the intercellular matrix and be quickly distributed in the blood. It is also connected to the twelve meridians, internal organs, limbs, five palaces, skin, flesh and tendons. Therefore, it has always been regarded by doctors as an important acupoint for treating diseases.

When a person is born, the belly button has completed its mission. The fetus is connected to the lifting plate through the front end of the belly button and absorbs nutrients from it. These things are no longer needed once a person is born. In other words, the "belly button" (except for the bulge) is just a "small depression in the folds." However, dirt can easily accumulate in these small pits in the skin folds. Some metabolites accumulate in this small area, and the black stuff containing dirt forms "umbilical feces".

Can women pick their navel feces?

Some girls who love beauty think that umbilical cord feces are an eyesore and often think of ways to dig it out. However, there is no need to dig out umbilical cord feces deliberately. If you dig too much or clean it improperly, it will easily damage the umbilical cord. Because picking your belly button can easily hurt the skin and may cause inflammation. Once the condition worsens, it may turn into suppuration, and bacteria may invade important blood vessels in the abdominal cavity. As for scratching it with your fingernails, it should be absolutely avoided. There is no harm in not cleaning the umbilical cord stool specifically.

Special Zone 2: Ear

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney opens up to the ear. Rubbing the earlobe frequently can prevent and treat frostbite on the ear, and can also help to strengthen the kidney and waist, and maintain health and prolong life.

Health care methods:

Lift your earlobes. Place the index fingers of both hands on the inside of the tragus, and then use the index fingers and thumbs to pull up the tragus and earlobe from the inside to the outside, using light techniques to gradually increase the strength of the pull. The force should be limited to not causing pain. Repeat for 3 to 5 minutes each time.

Rub the earlobe with your hands. Make fists with both hands, and use your thumb and index finger to push and rub the earlobe up and down until the earlobe becomes engorged and hot.

Lift the ear tips. Use the thumb and index finger of both hands to pinch the tip of the auricle, pull it upwards, pull, knead, pinch and rub it 15 to 20 times until the local area becomes hot and red. This method has the effects of calming, relieving pain, clearing the brain and eyes, and reducing fever.

Special Zone 3: Front Chest

The strength of a person's immune function depends, to a certain extent, on the concentration of thymosin. Regulating and stimulating the thymus can help fight disease, prevent cancer, strengthen the body and prolong life.

Health care methods:

Press your right hand on the upper part of the right breast, with your fingers slanting downward, and push and rub to the lower left abdomen with moderate force, rubbing back and forth 50 times; use your left hand and rub in the same way 50 times. Then, use the palm of your hand to rub the center of your chest up and down 50 times. You can also use your palms to pat your chest and back alternately, more than 100 times each time, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Patting the chest can activate "dormant" thymus cells and enhance cardiopulmonary function.

Special Zone 4: Back

Regularly scraping, rubbing, pressing and patting the meridians and muscles on the back can dredge the meridians, calm the mind and help prevent colds. In addition, rubbing the back has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on middle-aged and elderly patients with chronic diseases.

Health care methods:

Rub (rub) your back, pat your back, or knock your back (including the back and neck) with a health hammer every morning and evening; or take back massage therapy such as back scraping, spinal manipulation, cupping, etc.

Special Zone 5: Spine

Currently, about 70% of people develop spinal diseases due to lack of proper health care in their daily lives. There are four physiological curvatures in the spinal column, the most susceptible to pathological changes are the cervical (cervical spondylosis) and lumbar curvatures (lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation).

Health care methods:

Every night, the spine is massaged, scraped, cupped, and gently tapped.

Acupuncture, Chinese bee therapy and moxibustion in the spinal area have therapeutic effects on nerve pain and ankylosing spondylitis in various sections of the spinal cord.

When women take good care of these five special areas every day, they can promote metabolism, detoxify and cleanse the body, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the body and anti-aging.
