997 widely spread traditional Chinese medicine techniques(1/2)
The threshold for scraping is high, while the threshold for cupping is low, so cupping is now used more frequently.
But the threshold is low and the frequency of use is high, does that mean the method of use is correct?
Of course not!
The current method of cupping is to place the cup in a fixed place, and then use the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup to open the pores of the skin covered by the mouth of the cup, and then it's done.
This method is actually the least technical and least effective method in cupping.
What is the fundamental purpose of cupping?
It is to relax the muscles, activate blood circulation, and remove blood stasis, but if you just pull it out in one place for more than ten minutes, how can you relax the muscles? How can you activate blood circulation? How can you remove blood stasis?
There are so many cans on your back?
Just kidding, look at those bruises and bruises after unplugging. It means that the blood stasis has not gone away, but has caused more blood stasis.
To do cupping well, you have to look at Du Heng’s current technique.
First, apply essential oil evenly on Yao Youshichaqi's waist, then turn the air-extracting cupping pot upside down on his waist, and then pump it to fix it, but it is not like the method in the health center where you suck up a large piece of meat in the pot.<
/p>
It is the muscle skin of the jar mouth that only needs to be slightly raised to hold the jar in place.
The purpose of this step is to relax the muscles and skin around the bifurcation position, and use the characteristics of local pressure to speed up the blood flow here.
There is a very important point here, that is, the location of the cupping must not be the location of a gas leak or an injured bruise, but only the edge of the injured area.
At this time, if you put the jar directly on the injured area, it will not activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but will aggravate the condition. If the air in the jar is pumped too hard, the injured person may directly suffer from capillary necrosis.
Tragedy.
Du Heng is very clear about the key points of cupping, and his judgment of the location of Yao Youshi's Qi is also very accurate. With his superb skills, he can perform such a rough job as cupping with a smooth and smooth artistic sense.
p>
However, I guess the pain Du Heng said may actually hurt.
Because from the time Du Heng applied the essential oil, Yao Youshi's screams became louder and louder. Especially when he lifted the jar, his lips began to turn white and he started to tremble slightly.
Du Heng listened to Yao Youshi's screams without any disturbance in his heart. Even after placing the jar, he raised his head to admire Yao Youshi's tragic situation.
And when he looked at Du Heng, he discovered that not only this boy's lips were trembling, but even his lower eyelids were jumping rapidly.
Du Heng couldn't help but cursed: He was so brave last night and dared to chase and kill others with a big weapon, why can't he help it now?
Fortunately, this was just a slander and was not spoken directly, so Yao Youshi could just scream in peace.
If Du Heng really said it to Yao Youshi's face, it would be a double blow to Yao Youshi's mind and body, and he might even faint.
But wouldn’t it be better to faint now?
Du Heng looked at the screaming Yao Youshi and quickly thought about the feasibility of this problem. However, hearing his screams began to vibrate, Du Heng decided not to let him accept any more psychological blows.
And the purely physical damage should help him remember not to be so impulsive next time.
This time it was just good luck that he escaped intact, but he won't be so lucky next time.
You must know that the security guards in Fatty Hei Manor are different from those in domestic communities. They also wear biubiubiu on their waists.
In addition, there are his two enemies, who are ruthless people who can kill the whole family. Even though he, Yao Youshi, has obtained biubiu, he is still a scholar in the final analysis. Whether it is in terms of personality or behavior, he is not in the same rank as them.
To still be so "brave" and rush up to someone when you see him is really no different from seeking death.
Perhaps because of the annoyance of hearing Yao Youshi's screams, or perhaps because it was time for cupping, Du Heng deflated the cup and at the same time told Dede, "Dede, pour a little less alcohol into the saucer, then light it and put it in front of me."
Dede was about to make a move, but suddenly stopped, and asked a little confused and a little surprised, "Doctor Du, you said you should light the alcohol on fire?"
"Yes, don't pour too much, just lightly cover the bottom of the dish." Du Heng carefully handled the cupping pot on the side of Yao Youshi's ribs. If he moved too much at this time, it would be easy to damage the skin here.
After receiving Du Heng's affirmative answer, Dede began to work with confusion. When she put the plate with light blue flames and a strong smell of alcohol in Du Heng's hand, her eyes were full of curiosity.
p>
She was curious about what the burning alcohol was used for, and she was also curious about how Du Heng would use it.
Du Heng ignored De De, and just put the removed jar aside, grabbed Yao Youshi's arm with one of his own hands and asked him to lift it up, and quickly dipped his other hand into the dish, and then he saw
The light blue flame spread quickly in his palm.
Dede was startled and almost screamed: The fire has even burned his hands. Doesn't it hurt Du Heng?
Just as he opened his mouth and before any sound came out, Du Heng slapped his hand full of light blue flames on Yao Youshi's waist, and then rubbed it back and forth quickly.
And this also caused a faint blue flame to appear on Yao Youshi's waist as Du Heng's palm moved.
However, under Du Heng's quick rubbing, the light blue flame came and went quickly. It only took a few strokes and then went out.
As soon as the flames subsided, Du Heng quickly dipped his hand into the plate again, and then continued to raise his burning hand to rub Yao Youshi's waist quickly but gently.
Dede was dumbfounded. She had never seen such a formation before.
Let’s not talk about whether this technique really has a therapeutic effect. Just look at the burning hands and the burning waist as the hands are rubbed. The visual effect is full.
"Doctor Du, I saw the cupping thing just now in Libreville. I heard it can relax the body." Dede pointed to Du Heng's burning hand carefully and said, "But what is this?"
Du Heng smiled lightly, but did not look back, "This is massage, which is also a widely spread treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine."
"Tuina? It's just massage. I saw this when I was in school in Libreville. But it seems... seems... a little different."
Listening to Dede's question, Du Heng chuckled again, "Have you never seen anyone using burning alcohol for massage?"
Dede nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's what it means. It's amazing, but what's the use of doing this?"
Du Heng did not answer Dede immediately, but quickly performed a complete set of kneading, rubbing and rubbing techniques on Yao Youshi's waist. As Du Heng's movements continued, Yao Youshi's screams gradually calmed down.
No longer howling like a slaughtered pig.
After everything was done, Du Heng took a breath and then said to Dede, "In general massage, essential oil or lubricant will be applied to the surgical site.
The purpose of this is, firstly, to protect the skin from being harmed by massage techniques; secondly, to use massage techniques better and more smoothly."
As he spoke, Du Heng glanced at the plate that was still burning with blue flames, and said with a slight movement of the corner of his mouth, "As for the technique I just used, firstly, it was not to create mystery and create a sense of mystery; secondly, it was not to add any visual effects.
, because it has a special purpose."
"What is it used for?" Dede asked curiously.
Du Heng pointed to the cupping cup placed aside, "After cupping, the skin becomes loose and the pores open. If you massage directly without using lubricants such as essential oils, it will be extremely easy to damage the skin, so alcohol will play a lubricating role at this time.
In addition, when burning alcohol comes into contact with human skin, it will cause the skin to form a stress response and become tense. Once the skin tightens, the newly opened pores will naturally close.
So at this time, there is no need to worry about the hidden danger of external cold evil invading the body due to open pores.
Do you understand?"
Dede nodded in understanding, "Then if you do this, Yao Yiyi's illness will be cured?"
Hearing Dede's slightly naive question, Du Heng explained again, "How is that possible?
What Chinese medicine calls "cha Qi" is actually caused by excessive force or twisted posture, which causes the fascia to tear at the stressed position.
The purpose of using cupping just now is to loosen the muscles and skin, and then use massage to slowly massage along the trend of the fascia and the texture of the muscles, so that the torn openings of the fascia can be rejoined.
In this way, although Yao Yiyi still can't exert any force, the healing of the torn fascia will be much faster because it has been fixed."
After Du Heng finished speaking, he took two pieces of paper from the table and wiped his hands. After wiping the alcohol on his hands, he said, "Massage after cupping will give you the best effect.
But similarly, doing massage at this time also tests your massage techniques.
If it is too light, it will have no effect; if it is too heavy, it will directly injure the area where cupping is performed, so generally speaking, for people who have not received professional training, I do not recommend using massage after cupping to enhance the effect, because they simply have no way to do it.
Grasp this power."
Throwing away the tissue he had wiped with, Du Heng stood up and came to the other side of Yao Youshi, picked up his dislocated wrist and held it carefully.
Just when Yao Youshi was attracted by the pain in his waist and relaxed his vigilance on his wrist, Du Heng grabbed Yao Youshi's wrist and suddenly pulled him back.
Yao Youshi was startled by the sudden change, and because of the sudden pain in his wrist, he subconsciously moved his arm in the direction Du Heng was pulling.
But Du Heng reacted faster. Just when Yao Youshi stretched his arm forward, he grabbed Yao Youshi's hand and thrust it forward again.
"Click"
Just like that, Yao Youshi suddenly felt that his soul was dancing above his head. For a moment, he seemed to know nothing, and felt that the whole world had stopped.
But then, the severe pain from his wrist made him immediately return to his soul, and he let out a scream that was countless times higher than before.
"You..."
"Don't move."
Du Heng gave a sharp shout and immediately stopped Yao Youshi's next movement, while he continued to hold Yao Youshi's wrist and began to press it non-stop.
It wasn't until he pinched his wrist several times that he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't move, I have to revitalize your wrist."
After saying that, Du Heng put the hand he had just wiped into the alcohol dish that was still burning next to him again, and then started the previous action again on Yao Youshi's wrist.
While rubbing it, Du Heng said softly, "You are an adult and the joint cavity has been shaped, so it is more troublesome to reset it.
And because of the dislocation, the muscle fascia of the wrist must have been strained, so there must be congestion here.
If you are a child, the protection of the muscle fascia at the joints is not very strong, so resetting is not as troublesome as it is for you. You only need a gentle pinch to restore it directly."
