I'm here to send health
Chest tightness and shortness of breath are common problems in modern life, especially for urban people with high work pressure and fast pace of life. Why does your chest tightness and shortness of breath always get better? It could be that your body is sending you a warning sign that you are concerned about your physical health. Today, I will introduce you to three acupuncture points to help you relieve the problem of chest tightness and shortness of breath.
First of all, we need to understand the ** of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Chest tightness and shortness of breath can be caused by poor heart function, lung disease, mood swings, etc. In TCM theory, chest tightness and shortness of breath are considered to be a manifestation of cardiopulmonary dysfunction. If the heart and lungs cohabit and the heart and lung function is poor, it is easy to have symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath. Therefore, we need to start by harmonizing the cardiopulmonary function in order to fundamentally solve the problem of chest tightness and shortness of breath.
Next, I would like to introduce you to three acupuncture points that are beneficial to harmonize the heart and lung function, namely: Neiguan acupoint, Jizhong acupoint and Zusanli acupoint.
1.Neiguan acupoint.
The Neiguan acupoint is located on the inner side of the forearm, about three fingers wide from the horizontal stripe of the palm, and is the meridian point of the Yin pericardial meridian of the hand. Stimulation of Neiguan acupoints can regulate heart function and relieve symptoms such as chest tightness and palpitations. Usually, you can use the method of kneading, each time you press and knead for about 1-3 minutes, multiple times a day.
2.Jizhong acupoint.
The middle point is located on the chest, the midpoint of the line between the two nipples, and is the recruitment point of the pericardial meridian. Stimulating the Jizhong acupoint can widen the chest and regulate qi, relieve symptoms such as chest tightness and chest pain. Usually you can use the method of kneading or moxibustion, each time you press or moxibustion for about 1-3 minutes, and do it every day.
3.Zusanli acupoint.
The Zusanli point is located on the outside of the knee joint, about four finger widths away from the knee depression. Zusanli acupoint is the combined acupoint of Zuyang Ming stomach meridian, which has the effect of regulating qi and blood and enhancing physical fitness. Stimulation of Zusanli acupoint can improve cardiopulmonary function and relieve symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath. Usually you can use the method of kneading or moxibustion, each time you press or moxibustion for about 1-3 minutes, and do it every day.
In addition to stimulating these three acupuncture points, the following points need to be paid attention to in order to develop good living habits and fundamentally improve the problem of chest tightness and shortness of breath:
1.Maintaining a good sleep schedule and getting enough sleep are very important for the recovery of cardiopulmonary function.
2.Avoid overwork, arrange work and life reasonably, carry out appropriate physical exercise, and improve physical fitness.
3.Maintain a good mood, avoid excessive mood swings, learn to regulate emotions, and release stress.
4.Eat a light diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less greasy, spicy, and irritating foods to maintain a balanced diet.
5.Quit smoking and limit alcohol, smoking and drinking are very harmful to cardiopulmonary health, try to quit or restrict.
6.Have regular physical examinations, pay attention to your physical condition, and seek medical attention in time if you find problems.
In short, chest tightness and shortness of breath are not a small problem, and we should pay enough attention to them. By stimulating the Neiguan acupoint, Jizhong acupoint and Zusanli acupoint, with good living habits, I believe that everyone's chest tightness and shortness of breath will be improved. Here, I also hope that everyone can pay attention to their physical health, stay away from diseases, and live a healthy and happy life.
