Health for All says
As an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I would like to take this opportunity to popularize the relevant knowledge to everyone. In TCM theory, injuries to the neck, waist and knee are all related to poor flow of qi and blood. Meridians are an important concept in TCM theory, they are the "blood vessels" that connect the whole body, through the meridians, qi and blood can run smoothly and maintain the health of the human body. However, sitting for a long time will cause the meridians to be compressed and obstructed, and the flow of qi and blood will become poor, which will cause problems such as neck, waist and knees.
For the problem of neck injury, we can try some TCM health preservation methods to improve. First of all, doing more neck exercises can relieve cervical spine fatigue, such as twisting, turning the head, touching the ears up and down, etc. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine herbs can be used to relieve pain, such as Chuanxiong, white peony and licorice.
For the problem of waist injury, there are many famous prescriptions for Chinese medicine to choose from. For example, in the case of low back pain, a decoction of mugwort leaves and chonordan can be used together and taken every day. In addition, acupuncture and massage are also effective ways to relieve low back pain. In addition, chili oil can also be used to massage the waist and have a good effect.
As for knee injuries, there are many applications of Chinese medicinal materials. Among them, mulberry parasitism is one of the famous remedies for knee pain. Mulberry parasitics is ground into a powder, mixed with vinegar and applied to the affected area several times a day. In addition, some other herbs such as keel, hyssop, and cinnamon sticks can also be used.
Of course, in addition to TCM health preservation methods, daily life Xi is also very important. First of all, maintain a good sitting and standing posture and avoid holding one position for long periods of time. Secondly, proper exercise is also very beneficial, and you can choose some exercises that can exercise the lower back and leg muscles, such as tai chi, yoga and walking.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that the TCM method is gentle and effective, but it also needs to be adhered to. We must actively change our current Xi habits to avoid the harm of sitting for too long. Only by strengthening the importance of our own health and preventing and injuring our neck, waist and knee through scientific and reasonable methods can we maintain physical and mental health.
