Massage and fortune telling _ fortune telling massage

Massage, also known as massage, shuttlecock pressing, etc. , is a long-standing treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. The origin of the word "tuina" can be traced back to Huangdi Neijing.

1, Huangdi Neijing is a classic of ancient Chinese medicine with a history of more than 2000 years. This book records the origin, development, principle and application of massage in detail. According to Huangdi Neijing, massage originated from the activities of ancient witch doctors.

2. At that time, it was generally believed that the occurrence of diseases was related to the imbalance of Yin and Yang in nature, and it was necessary to reconcile Yin and Yang through a mysterious force to restore health. This power is massage. The earliest masseurs were called "witch doctors". They created a unique technology to treat diseases by imitating the behaviors of animals and plants in nature.

3. With the passage of time, massage gradually separated from the mysterious witch doctor activities and became an independent medical system. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, massage has become a very popular treatment. There are many theories and techniques about massage in Huangdi Neijing, such as "pushing the sky", "pressing the ground" and "rubbing the sun and the moon", which are all important methods of massage.

4. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, massage was more widely spread and developed. Many famous doctors and tuina teachers have conducted in-depth research and practice on tuina, making the theory and technology of tuina more perfect. At the same time, massage has begun to move from the palace to the folk, becoming a common method for ordinary people to treat diseases and preserve their health.

The function of massage

1. Massage is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, which stimulates the acupoints and meridians of the human body by pressing, kneading, massage and other manipulations, thus achieving the functions of regulating body functions, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.

2. First of all, massage can regulate body function. Organs and systems of the human body are interrelated. Once a problem occurs in a certain part, it will affect the normal operation of the whole body. Massage can regulate qi and blood circulation and balance yin and yang by stimulating specific acupoints and meridians, thus regulating body functions, enhancing immunity and improving body resistance.

Secondly, massage can promote blood circulation. Blood is one of the important substances in the human body, which is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients to various tissues and organs, while discharging waste and carbon dioxide from the body. Massage can stimulate vasodilation, increase blood flow and improve blood circulation through massage and massage, thus preventing and treating some diseases related to blood circulation.

In addition, massage can relieve pain. Pain is a protective mechanism of human body, which can remind us to pay attention to physical discomfort. But when the pain exceeds a certain level, it will have a great impact on life and work. Massage can stimulate nerve endings, release endorphins and other substances, and block the transmission of pain signals, thus relieving pain.
