Chapter 68 Lung Nourishing Point in Autumn—Yuji Quchi Yingxiang Hegu
Autumn dryness is divided into two types: warm dryness and cool dryness. Warm dryness occurs more in early autumn, and cool dryness occurs more in late autumn. Therefore, there are differences in the selection of health-preserving points.In autumn, the weather is high and crisp, the air is dry, and female friends often lose their yin and fluid. In addition, the climate in autumn is changeable and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large.Once the daily life is careless or the constitution is weak, it is most likely to cause the pathogenic dryness to take advantage of the deficiency and invade and develop the disease.In traditional Chinese medicine, autumn dryness is divided into two types: warm dryness and cool dryness. Warm dryness occurs more in early autumn, and cool dryness occurs more in late autumn. Therefore, there are differences in the selection of health-preserving acupoints.Warm and dry in early autumn should choose Yuji, Quchi and Yingxiang. I like to drink cold drinks. When I cough, I have chest tightness and pain or bloody sputum, red tongue with white coating, less fluid and red quality, and floating and rapid pulse.At this time, we can choose the Yuji, Quchi and Yingxiang points on both sides to massage to nourish the lung qi.Pinch and rub the Yuji points on both sides regularly for 3 minutes every day.Quchi point is the combined point of the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yangming.Bend the elbow to form a right angle, and this point is in the depression at the outer end of the transverse elbow crease.

This acupoint is an acupoint that can be applied to all exogenous diseases, and has a good effect of clearing away heat and purging fire.We can press and knead the Quchi points on both sides for 1 minutes at noon when the yang energy is at its peak.It should be noted that massaging this point is likely to cause miscarriage, so pregnant women should not use it.Yingxiang point is next to the midpoint of the outer edge of the nose, in the nasolabial fold.Massaging the Yingxiang point can not only prevent the recurrence of rhinitis, but also prevent colds and colds, and it can also beautify the nose.When massaging, rub the Yingxiang points on both sides of the nostrils with the tips of your index fingers for a total of 3 strokes.The way of rubbing should not be too gentle, it is better to be able to bear it.Thenar, Yingxiang, and Hegu should be selected for cool dryness in late autumn. The cold dryness in late autumn is mainly manifested by fever and chills, sore limbs, dry mouth, throat, and nose, nasal congestion, runny nose, itchy throat, and dry cough. Less phlegm or hard to expectorate, chest tightness, white tongue coating and less fluid, slippery and slippery pulse.At this time, we can persist in massaging the Yuji, Yingxiang and Hegu points every day to cool the lungs.We can massage the Yingxiang acupoints on both sides every morning until the inside of the nose is moist, and massage the Hegu and Yuji acupoints on both sides from time to time throughout the day, and massage each acupoint for 2 minutes each time.
