The neck is really the most important part of our body. A cervical vertebra supports the head and connects the body. Many people who have dizziness and headaches go to check their brains. The result is that their brains are normal and the problem is in their cervical spine. What's more serious is that a "meat bag" grew out of the Dazhui point under the cervical vertebrae, which is also known as a wealth bag. Little did they know that this meat bag may also cause serious problems such as stroke and cerebral infarction.
How does cervical spondylosis develop? Needless to say, everyone knows that long-term work and study, maintaining the same posture, especially long-term bowing of the head and playing with mobile phones, cause meridian blockage. There are three yang meridians on the outside of our arms. Among them, the hand-taiyang small intestine meridian passes through our cervical spine. When there is cervical spondylosis, congestion points will appear on the small intestine meridian. Therefore, cervical spondylosis often affects the shoulders and arms, causing soreness, numbness, and pain. . Blocked meridians and blocked Qi and blood will lead to insufficient supply of Qi and blood to the head, leading to dizziness, dizziness and other symptoms. Without a sufficient supply of Qi and blood, the intervertebral discs between the cervical joints will grind dry due to ischemia, causing a "clicking" sound when the neck is rotated.
The Wealth Bundle appears at the Dazhui point under the seventh cervical vertebra. Due to the long-term incorrect posture of the cervical vertebrae, the surrounding soft tissue has become hypertrophic and hyperplasia. In the early stage, the hyperplasia feels soft to the touch, but this location is susceptible to the invasion of wind and cold. As the wind, dampness and cold accumulate for a long time, it becomes a slightly hard muscle bag; as it progresses, the vertebrae deviate from their normal position and the bones become deformed. , the Fugui Bao becomes a bone bag, which feels hard to the touch, as if the seventh cervical vertebra bone is particularly large. At this stage, the risk of cerebrovascular problems is greater, and conditioning will be more difficult than in the first two stages.
Usually when we treat cervical spondylosis, we will choose to massage the cervical spine, or add massage on the bladder meridian on the back, but this can only provide relief, and some even cause more pain after massage than without treatment. . In fact, if you want to truly solve the cervical spine problem, you must clear the small intestine meridian. Moxibustion and massage are very effective.
To clear the small intestine meridian, the following acupoints must be selected:
Tianzong point. It is located in the scapula area. People who do not usually have cervical spondylosis will feel strong swelling and pain when pressing this acupoint, and this feeling will continue to the fingers. If the meridians are blocked, the swelling and pain will only stay in the upper arm. We need to endure the pain first and press with our thumbs for about 3 minutes, pressing both shoulders. Tianzong point plays an important role in treating cervical spondylosis and frozen shoulder. "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia and B Jing" records: if the shoulder is heavy and the elbow and arm are painful and cannot be lifted, Tianzong will control it.
Jianzhen point. When the arm hangs naturally, it is located one inch above the back of the armpit. It is also very painful to massage. We not only press this acupoint, but also massage the area where the small intestine circulates, especially the outside of the upper arm. When the meridians are blocked, there will be many hard knots. When encountering hard lumps, we should focus on rubbing them. Try to break up the lumps as much as possible.
Houxi Point. When making a fist, the horizontal stripe on the back of the fifth knuckle is red and white. This is an important acupoint for treating neck, shoulder and lumbar spine problems, but this acupoint is relatively deep. We can use the edge of the table to roll and press. This acupuncture point should also be held for more than 3 minutes. We can also press this acupuncture point more often after work.
After massaging, we need to moxibustion the above three acupoints one by one. It is best to use moxibustion sticks for hanging moxibustion. There is no need to stick to the moxibustion time. The most important thing is to moxibustion a position thoroughly so that the heat can enter the body. . You can use a moxibustion box when there is no one to help. Wooden boxes are best. If someone helps, you can moxibustion the three acupoints together to get twice the result with half the effort.
Dazhui point. If the Wealth Pain is also serious, it is necessary to dredge the Dazhui point. The seven yang meridians of our body all meet at the Dazhui point: Du meridian, bladder meridian, large intestine, small intestine, triple burner meridian, gallbladder meridian, and stomach meridian, all pass through here. If the Dazhui point is blocked, in addition to cervical spine problems, other problems will occur. Many other questions.
For Fugui Bao, you must knead it first, pushing and kneading it from top to bottom, so that Fugui Bao becomes softer before moxibustion. It would be best if you can scrape it first, the effect will be doubled. Afterwards, apply moxibustion to the Dazhui point and near Fugui Bao. If no one is available to help, you can also use a moxibustion box.
The most important thing to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis is daily routine. Especially now, you must pay attention to keeping your neck warm, and do not turn your back to the air conditioner and keep blowing it. If the air conditioning temperature in the office is relatively low, you can choose a high-collar shirt, or female friends can prepare a silk scarf to keep warm. Secondly, after work, learn more about the "shaking of the head and head" done by the ancients when reading, and do cervical spine exercises for a few minutes in the morning and afternoon every day to relax the neck and shoulders. Finally, choose a hard pillow when sleeping. Harder pillows can better support the cervical spine and reduce the pressure on the cervical spine. It is not unreasonable for the ancients to use porcelain pillows.
If your neck has started to rotate and make a clicking sound, you must start paying attention. The cervical spine is so important. If the cervical spine is good, the head will be healthy.
