What is pulsation in Chinese medicine? An in-depth analysis of band veins and their daily care

In the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, pulse-taking is a unique and important concept. It wraps around the waist and abdomen of the human body like a belt, restraining and regulating other meridians. This article will analyze in detail the basic concept of pulsation, its role and significance in traditional Chinese medicine theory, as well as daily maintenance and practice methods.

1. Basic concepts and definitions of veins

The Daimai is one of the eight extraordinary meridians and has the function of “generalizing all the meridians”. The other meridians of the human body run vertically up and down, but the “belt meridians” circle horizontally in a circle, as if the vertical meridians are tied with a rope. Therefore, which meridians have problems in the waist and abdomen, such as qi stagnation and qi stagnation, Blood stasis and blockage can be adjusted and dredged through acupuncture and pulse stimulation. The main functions of the belt pulse include restraining the longitudinal veins and protecting the fetus.

2. The role and significance of taking pulse in traditional Chinese medicine theory

1. Regulate the movement of Qi and blood : As a part of the meridian system, the Daimai plays an important role in regulating the movement of Qi and blood. It ensures the smooth movement of Qi and blood in the human body by restricting and regulating other meridians.

2. Maintain the functions of the internal organs : the veins surround the waist and abdomen and are connected to multiple internal organs. Its health status directly affects the normal functioning of the organs. For example, stagnant pulse may lead to obesity in the waist and abdomen, weakened digestive function and other problems.

3. Prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases : In the gynecological theory of traditional Chinese medicine, taking pulse is particularly important for the health of women’s reproductive system. The function of the belt pulse to protect the fetus makes it one of the key meridians in preventing and treating gynecological diseases.

3. Daily maintenance and practice methods of pulse veins

1. Massage the belt pulse : every night before going to bed, tap about fifty circles horizontally along the belt pulse, focusing on the belt pulse point a hundred times. This can restore the restraint ability of the belt pulse and reduce fat in the waist and abdomen. It has a very good effect. If you stick to it for about a month, you will see the results.

2. Keep warm : The waist and abdomen are the places where pulses flow and are also relatively fragile parts of the human body. Therefore, we should pay attention to keeping the waist and abdomen warm every day to avoid the invasion of cold evil and causing stasis of the pulse.

3. Dietary conditioning : Appropriate intake of warm foods such as ginger, red dates, etc. can help warm the pulse and promote the circulation of qi and blood. At the same time, avoid excessive intake of cold and greasy foods to avoid damaging the pulse.

4. Exercise : Appropriate exercise such as Tai Chi, Baduanjin, etc. can promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, thus driving the smooth flow of the pulse. Especially exercises aimed at the waist and abdomen, such as twisting the waist, sit-ups, etc., have a better effect on maintaining the pulse.

5. Emotional care : Traditional Chinese medicine believes that poor emotions may lead to stagnation of qi and blood. Therefore, it is equally important to maintain a happy mood and avoid excessive mood swings, as well as to maintain the belt pulse.

In short, as an important part of the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the health status of the veins directly affects the overall health of the human body. Through daily massage, warmth, diet, exercise, and emotional conditioning, we can effectively maintain the pulse and keep it unobstructed, thereby laying a solid foundation for physical health.
