First aid for colds: acupressure. The use of acupuncture for the treatment of tonsillitis and tonsils Exercises for colds

Point massage for acute respiratory infections, colds and flu using Chinese acupuncture.

The points themselves are well drawn, with diagrams and often with videos (if it is not clear), on the website: www.eledia.ru Search engine for points is on the top right. You fill in the name or number - you look.

So.

1. First of all, with a cold, we start to eat less so that the body spends energy not on digestion, but on fighting the disease. We drink more liquids.
2. We drink vitamin C every day in one form or another (lemon, cranberry. If dragee, then it is better with kefir, so as not to injure the mucous membrane and improve digestibility).

We don't take pills. Maximum (for sore throat) - gargling with peroxide, soda-iodine, etc., as well as herb such as chamomile with honey. When coughing - mineral milk and similar folk remedies.

Further - point massage(with excerpts-quotes from the tips given on the site). During the massage, a slight pain should be felt at the point, as if you are pressing on a nerve. If it is not there, then the point was found incorrectly. Either you are not sick. When the disease is in full swing, the points hurt with might and main.

…Different groups of points act on different departments. This treatment consists of several stages.

“1) elimination of the inflammatory process;

2) help the body in the fight against intoxication (let me remind you that the virus destroys the cell and thus clogs the body with decay products);

3) restoration of mucous tissues, which is how we immediately localize the disease, do not let it spread.”

It is better to do them all in turn, but you can take breaks between stages. Nevertheless, it is important to conduct a complete course, all stages together.

FIRST STAGE (fight against inflammation)

1. Main point - zhan-gu(2-VIII) - on the inner surface of the foot, on the inflection of the navicular bone.

2. Connecting - lianquan(23-XIV) - on the throat, in the gap above the thyroid cartilage. CAREFULLY.

3. Main auxiliary - shao fu(8-V) - on the palm between the IV and V metacarpal bones - to Vl.

“The order is this: work for zhan-gu for at least 5 minutes until the fever leaves your legs; then switch to lianquan - 2 minutes of work is enough here; then you work on shao-fu - until the heat goes away from your hands. After that, it would be good to repeat the whole cycle again - then the springboard for fighting the disease will be quite reliable.

The result of the first stage should be 1) a decrease (for the time being - temporary) of body temperature to normal; 2) general improvement in condition; 3) a feeling of inflow of forces. This is not surprising: after all, you not only supported your cells with energy, but also stimulated the work of the kidneys and relieved stress from the heart.

On the second stage it would be better to use the help of someone close, but at worst, you can do it yourself.

SECOND STAGE (fight against intoxication)

4. "The main point - da zhui(14-XIII) - on the back of the neck, between the first thoracic and seventh cervical vertebrae. The seventh neck is easy to find, it seems to stand above the rest. When working on da-zhui, the vertebra must be pressed from the bottom up, as it were, penetrating deep into the depths with its action. We will not limit this work in time. Act as long as it is pleasant (good pain!), Until you get bored.

5. Additional points - feng chi(20-Xl). They are under the occipital bone on both sides of the spine in the pits. Work 3-5 minutes.

“... Finally, in order to take everything from the spine, it would be nice to process its entire thoracic region, starting from the bottom of the shoulder blades and up to da-zhui. Upwards. Look for painful places between the spinous processes of the vertebrae, and where you find - work. At least for a minute. This is where you can not do without outside help.

THIRD STAGE (impact on mucous membranes)

6. Main point - he-gu(4-ll).

7. Then - pian-li(6-ll) - above the wrist, 1/4 of the distance between the carpal and ulnar folds.

8. Next point– le qué(7-l).

Connecting: cheng qi(1-lll) - on the lower edge of the orbit of the eye, directly below the pupil; and zhong-wan(12-XIV) - on the midline of the abdomen approximately in the middle between the navel and the xiphoid process.

Cheng-chi:

Zhong-wan:

Additional: zu-san-li(36-lll) - below the knee, next to the tibia (find as follows: from the base of the head of the fibula, draw a speculative horizontal line to the tibia and take it lower to the width of a finger); and tie-bye(3-IV) - behind and downward from the head of the 1st metatarsal bone.

Zu-san-li:

Tai-by:

“... And the last. If you are not quite tired yet and you remember the importance immune system, work according to your mood on two more points:

qu-chi(11-ll) - on the ulna outside ...

…and chi-chie(5-l) - on the outer edge of the elbow crease. Localization: with slightly bent at the elbow joint arm on the elbow crease at the radial side of the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle.

“How long does it take to do this?

As long as there are symptoms. While the points "scream". But - only in the hunt, not through "I can not." In principle, this program allows you to cope with the disease in one day, so that in the following days you will only be engaged in “polishing”.

MASSAGE OF POINTS FOR PAIN IN THE THROAT

Massage is carried out in two stages. The first is for a sharp improvement in the condition (going to work, etc.), and the second is for deep study and fight against the disease. If you have time, it is better to do the whole second stage right away. The first stage, without deep study, may not be enough, and the disease will return later.

“... So, the first task: remove the symptom. In our case, this means not only 1) bringing the throat to a comfortable state, but also 2) stopping the development of the disease, preserving it until better times, when you, say, have at least half an hour to heal more or less seriously.

You understand that the removal of a symptom cannot be called a full-fledged treatment. It's just a surrogate. Minimum action for maximum effect. But when there is no time, there is no choice.

FIRST STAGE

First point, which we need, is located on the thumb, 0.3 centimeters from the outer corner of the nail. Influence - with a pen, a nail of the other hand, a toothpick. Be careful: you must reach the point exactly. Therefore, topography and millimeters are only guidelines; the main criterion is feeling. Feeling of a sharp prickle. Pain. Touch it with your fingernail: there is nothing nearby, but in this place it is like a needle is being driven in. So it is.

And you must make at least 50 such injections.

The point is called shao shang. Then do the same procedure on the other hand.

The second point is in the palm of your hand. Above the thumb on the palm is pillow. Here in the middle of it is the desired point. It is off-meridian, so you don't need to know its name. It is very spicy for sore throats. Found? Excellent. Now with the thumb of the other hand - with the pad of the thumb - we begin to influence it.

Undoubtedly, there will be experts among readers who know how tonsillitis differs (by the way, acute tonsillitis is nothing more than a sore throat) from laryngitis and pharyngitis. You don't need it. You woke up - and felt discomfort in the throat area. Something suffocates, tickles, scratches with pain gnawing outward. You have little time; as it should be in your youth, you went to bed after midnight and therefore overslept; it's time to run to lectures, every minute counts; but since no science is useful without health, you wisely decide to spend about a dozen minutes on this holy cause. And we don't need more.
So, the first task: remove the symptom. In our case, this means not only 1) bringing the throat to a comfortable state, but also 2) stopping the development of the disease, preserving it until better times, when you, say, have at least half an hour to heal more or less seriously.
You understand that the removal of a symptom cannot be called a full-fledged treatment. It's just a surrogate. Minimum action for maximum effect. But when there is no time, there is no choice.
The first point we need is on the thumb, 0.3 centimeters from the outer corner of the nail. Let's follow the advice of colleague Shin - we will influence it with any nail of the other hand. Be careful: we must reach the point absolutely accurately. Therefore, topography and millimeters are only guidelines; the criterion of truth is sensation. Feeling of a sharp prickle. Pain. Touch it with your fingernail: there is nothing nearby, but in this place it is like a needle is being driven in. So it is.
And you must make at least 50 such injections. The point is called shao-shan. Then do the same procedure on the other hand.
The second point is in the palm of your hand. There is a pillow on the palm above the thumb. Here in the middle of it is the desired point. It is off-meridian, so you don't need to know its name. It is very spicy for sore throats. Found? Excellent. Now with the thumb of the other hand - with the pad of the thumb - we begin to influence it.
I recall the main principles.
1. You act in such a way that not just pain is felt under the working finger, but a point pain - this will allow you to work as accurately as possible (and therefore successfully).
2. Pain must be mandatory, but the pain is tolerable (the ideal is good).
3. Your finger makes subtle circular motions in a counterclockwise direction. Diameter - no more than 3 mm.
4. Attention is more important than effort. This means that the focus on sensation should be maximum.
At the second point, you work for at least 2 minutes. First on one hand, then on the other.
And the last place is the jugular notch, the bend of the bone between the collarbones. Here we have three points (also off-meridian): one at the base of the notch, and two on the sides. It is most convenient to work them out with the pad of your index finger. At least a minute per point is already good; but if you have another minute or two at your disposal, spend them on the treatment of the place of the tenderloin where the pain is most acute. You will not regret.
Made?
Now you can safely run to lectures. I am sure: after 10-15 minutes you will find that your throat hardly bothers you.
Unfortunately, lazy people - and the vast majority of them - are usually limited to this. But you do not belong to them; do you remember,
1) that the symptom (in this case, a sore throat) is only the herald of a disease that is incomparably larger and more dangerous than you imagine;
2) that any disease is not limited to a piece of the body, but covers the entire body, while the sore spot is only its springboard;
3) that any disease is associated with a colossal loss of energy that the body spends on fighting the disease. This means that if you do not help the body, the loss of energy will immediately affect all your affairs, including training. (I guess that this is what worries you not very much, but I have no right not to warn about this.)
So, you have decided to help your body seriously. Get sick. Holy work! In this case, do not put off this work until tomorrow, start it immediately.
To get started, repeat the mini-program you have already done again. An interval between both sessions of, say, half an hour is just what is required. I remember that over time you feel bad, but you don’t need special conditions either! You can also work on the fingers and jugular notch on the bus on the way to the institute; Yes, and at the lecture too - who will stop you?
I remind you: in the second session, the pain at all points will become aggravated - inflammation flows down to them. This does not oblige you to anything, except for one thing: work delicately. You should not have associations with torture.
If you carry out the second session successfully, then after it the discomfort will surely leave the throat completely. And yet I will ask the most conscientious in two or three hours to ride the program for the third time. You will not regret!
By the way, if you have completed a mini-program - and your ardor has not died down, you can add work on your ears to it. Here your main point is at the base of the lobe. You can pinch it with your fingers and press it, causing a feeling of pricks, you can just prick with your fingernail - as you like. This is done - until you get bored (as soon as the slightest boredom from work appears - stop it immediately; boredom is a symptom of growing fatigue; working in spite of it is stupid: there is almost nothing, and the harm can be great; therefore, when bored, the only way out is to immediately change occupation) or until the point becomes numb. Those who wish to continue this exercise can examine the entire curl of the ear (its edge), pinching it on both sides with their fingers. Where you find sore spots - work. Helps well.
Now consider the case where you are rich in time.
At the same time, the mini-program remains in force, but it is overgrown with work, which, in addition to 1) relieving discomfort and 2) preserving the focus of the disease, also allows 3) normalizing energy processes in the body, that is, eliminating the disease completely.
Keep in mind: the throat is treated with points on the hands, so this is where 75 percent of the work is done. The points on the neck - although they are directly adjacent to the throat - can be considered auxiliary. They help to remove the local inflammatory process and block the leakage of energy. We will assume that they account for (both in terms of effort and time) another 20 percent of the work. Finally, the last 5 percent on points that allow you to cover the entire body with work; means - connecting and points on the legs.
So, full program everything starts with the same shao-shan (11-l) the first digit is the number of the point, the second is the number of the meridian) and from a point on the palm above the thumb.
Then - shang-yang (1-ll). She is on the index finger at the angle of the nail. We tingle it, like shao-shan, at least 50 times.
Then the er-jian (2-ll), already familiar to you from the previous lesson, is at the base of the index finger.
Further - he-gu (4-ll). We have talked about it so much that, I hope, you are already working on it flawlessly.
Pian-li (6-ll) you also know - on the same line above the wrist.
But the next one is le-qué. (7-l) - you meet for the first time. Remember it well: it, like hae-gu, is one of the most important and will come in handy more than once. It is easy to find: halfway from the pian-li point to the wrist, only passing through the radius.
The connecting point is already familiar to you. This is cheng qi (1-Ill) - it is on the lower edge of the eye orbit, just below the pupil.
On the throat - to work on the jugular tenderloin - you can add three more points. They are located between the thyroid cartilage and the sternocleidomastoid muscle. From top to bottom: jen-ying (9-lll), shui-tu (10-Ill), chi-she (11-lll).
The points on the legs are also familiar to you. These are nei-ting (44-lll) and li-dui (45-lll) - at the base of the second toe and at the root of his nail.
These points are more than enough to heal your throat with the guarantee that the next time it will bother you very soon. But I would advise the most conscientious to include two more points in the program:
qu-chi (11-ll) - on the elbow joint outside - and
chi-chie (5-l) - at the end of the elbow crease, above qu-chi.
As long as these two points are sensitive, your protection against colds is not worth much. But if they are silent - congratulations: even the insidious flu is not terrible for you.
I wish you a light hand!
This lesson seemed simpler to us than the previous one, no one had any questions, and yet the editor-in-chief advised:
- Find Volodya Shin. Let him look with the eye of a master. You never know. In such a case, it is never harmful to err. And then something smart will add ...

Remember:
1. By cutting out your tonsils, you are tearing apart your immune defenses.
2. A person with normal energy never has a sore throat.
3. A sore throat is a sign that you have chronic inflammation somewhere in your gastrointestinal tract.

"Student Meridian" No. 9 1989

Nature has provided tonsils as a protective structure on the way of penetration of various infections into the body. Sometimes the "structure" becomes inflamed. More than 80 diseases have been described, one way or another associated with a toxic focus located in the inflamed tonsils: diseases of the ENT organs, teeth, nervous, endocrine and cardiovascular systems, spine, digestive tract and many others. After removing the tonsils, health does not always improve.

Why are there tonsils in the scope?

It turns out that tonsils require constant care and treatment - like teeth, hair and other "fragments" of the body.

The structure of the tonsils resembles a sponge. The "sponge" absorbs everything in a row: both liquefied food and microbes with bacteria. Once in a favorable environment (wet and warm), bacteria begin to multiply rapidly. The body cannot allow such an expansion and urgently "sets into motion" white blood cells - leukocytes, which penetrate the tubes of the tonsils (lacunae) and arrange a rather active battle there. The battle is constantly accompanied by the formation of pus. Pus is nothing more than the remains of bacteria and dead white blood cells. Dying, the participants in the battle create special enzymes that, as it were, "melt" the tissues of the tonsils themselves and form purulent sacs (cavities).

But it is not all that bad. A person, without noticing it, constantly “squeezes out” clogged cavities - during swallowing movements, yawning, tension in the neck muscles, turning the head. The result of the "squeeze" can be seen in the mirror, if you stick out your tongue as much as possible, that is, perform the yoga "lion pose". On the surface of the tonsils or far on the tongue, a liquid coating of a whitish-yellow or even greenish color will be clearly visible.

lion wash

"Lion Pose" is a great way not only to clear the tonsils, but also to treat a sore throat. If interested, you can compare the color of the tongue before and after the procedure. Of course, it is better to clean off the plaque, ideally with a silver teaspoon. After the "lion" procedure, open your mouth and perform normal, not very strong cleaning movements towards the "exit". If a strong gag reflex appears, do not be zealous, wait out the attack and do not bring the spoon too far into the next approach. It is believed that vomiting occurs more often if the tonsils are heavily clogged with pus.

How to do the lion pose:

1. Inhale and hold your breath.

2. Open your mouth wide, stick your tongue as far forward and down to your chin as possible.

3. Simultaneously with step 2, press the chin to the sternum.

4. Concentration of attention - on the muscles of the neck and larynx.

5. Duration of execution - how long the breath holding is enough.

6. The exercise is performed at least three to five times in one approach.

7. After completion, gargle with salted water. This is an optional condition, but an essential addition to the procedure, greatly enhancing its effectiveness. Half a teaspoon of salt is taken in a glass of water.

Cleansing massage of the tonsils

When there is no natural cleansing of the tonsils (for example, a person turns his neck a little) or they are not cleaned using techniques, the purulent cavities can greatly increase, go beyond the borders and begin to spread into the cervical tissues. When the tonsils are removed, the pus-filled cervical cavities become closed sacs and can turn into cysts, from which toxins are released onto the surrounding tissues. Hence - pharyngitis, loss of voice, cervical osteochondrosis and other troubles. Many people who have had this simple operation are familiar with them.

A powerful way to cleanse the tonsils is a special massage. It is not difficult to conduct it, the plus is that it does not need a second person.

With the pads of the thumb and forefinger near the jugular cavity, as it were, we clasp the trachea. Then we carry out squeezing movements up the muscle. To know exactly the "road", turn your head to the side, in this position the desired muscle will be well felt. The fingers should not go along the muscle itself, but along its front edge. Direction - to the corners of the lower jaw or to the ears.

Under the wisdom teeth, the fingers change direction and move along soft tissues under lower jaw towards the chin. It is important that the path passes through the tonsils themselves, and it is imperative to capture their back side. (The tonsils feel like two lumps under the angles of the mandible. Recall how the doctor checks for swollen tonsils.)

During the massage, perspiration may appear - this is the pus squeezed out of the tonsils and irritates the walls of the pharynx. Some begin to cough - if this has begun, clear your throat and continue the procedure. After the massage, it is very important to rinse the throat with acidified (citric acid on the tip of a knife, diluted with water or lemon juice half with water) or salted (1-1.5 teaspoons of salt per glass) water. You can also use apple cider vinegar rinses - add a small amount to water until a pronounced sour taste. Salty and acidic solutions are allowed to be swallowed.

One massage session takes from 30 seconds to a minute, it is not necessary to do longer. This is a daily procedure, done in the morning and evening. Do not forget to lubricate the outside of the throat with Vaseline or cream before starting. Massage movements should be soft. If your throat hurts, this is also considered a good time to start a massage.

It is clear that a person without medical skills will not be able to determine how much his tonsils are “clogged”. Therefore, initially it is necessary to proceed from the fact that there are purulent sacs in the tonsils.

You can clean the tonsils in other ways - though not as deep as massage.

Ring exercise:

• the mouth is closed, the tip of the tongue rests against the sky, turns back as far as possible and is fixed in this position - the muscles of the larynx and neck are tensed;

• concentration of attention - on the muscles of the neck, larynx and tongue;

• duration - keep the muscles in tension, as long as holding the breath allows. Make several approaches. Gargle as after the lion pose.

Smooth turns and tilts of the head forward, backward and to the sides with the obligatory fixation of the head at the end point of the turn will also have a positive effect. Such elements are "built-in" in many health-improving gymnastics. Regular exercises help get rid of headaches, reduce the double chin. When you feel better, the tonsils can be cleaned for prevention.

Those who have home physiotherapy devices can use them instead of gymnastics. Who does not have them - sing in the truest sense of the word. Sound vibration is an excellent remedy for the tonsils. The most "physiological" songs are folk songs.

Tonsils are, one might say, the gates of our body.

It is they who take the blow from the action of various viruses and microbes that can enter our body through oral cavity or nasal passages. They are always involved in the process of otitis media, sinusitis or banal SARS.

Massage of the tonsils with tonsillitis helps us to activate and cleanse this important organ.

The main functions of the tonsils- analyze the bacteria and microorganisms that enter the body. Without them, it is impossible to imagine the protection of the body. When eating, breathing, microorganisms settle on the tonsils. The tonsils are also often stressed. This is either cold food, or allergic and infectious diseases.

Thus, there are inflammatory processes in the palatine tonsils.

Ways to massage the tonsils with tonsillitis

You can activate blood circulation in the tonsils and push plugs with pus out of the "pockets" in the tonsils using the methods below.

1. Relax your neck. Turn your head sharply to the left, to the right, forward, backward. Take a breath so your head doesn't spin. Repeat about 25 times.
2. in a circular motion massage with index fingers behind the ears and neck under the jaw, and it is easy to press pointwise the same number of times.
3. Before the massage, it would be better to lubricate the throat with a massage cream.. Then, as it were, grasp the trachea with the fingertips, thumb and forefinger. Turn your head slightly so that it is more convenient to grope for the trachea and the tonsils themselves. They will be like two seals under or behind the lower jaw. While squeezing, move up the front edge of the muscle, then along the back wall of the tonsils (this will be best). It is done for about a minute, in the morning and in the evening.
4. Raise your head up, strongly stretching your neck. And with the fingers, or rather with the fingertips of both hands at the same time, draw from top to bottom down the throat five times. At the same time, press hard (of course, without excessiveness). In steps: raise the chin - stretch the neck - run your fingers five times - break (lower the neck). Repeat 3-4 times. This results in muscle tension cervical, massaging inside the throat with its muscles is provided.
5. You can growl during the massage. The vibrations of the muscles and ligaments will make the throat "shake" and clear in depth. Thus, together you get a deep mechanical massage of the throat.
6. Grasp your throat with your palm and squeeze your palm, i.e. as if you take your throat in your hand and crumple it. Not too much.

When massaging the tonsils with tonsillitis, most likely, a feeling of tickling will appear. This is normal, this is how pus comes out. The feeling of coughing is also normal. You just need to clear your throat.

How to make a solution for gargling with tonsillitis:

• We take a glass of warm water.
• Add a teaspoon of salt and stir.
• We do rinsing 10-15 times.

Thus, with an alkaline solution, we provide the throat with the restoration of the biological environment.

Attention!

Remember! To clean the tonsils mechanically - with a finger, cotton swabs or other items do not stand alone! There is a danger of damaging the delicate tissue of the tonsils, so the procedure can only be entrusted to a doctor.

Additionally, after massaging the tonsils with tonsillitis, it is very good to wrap a scarf around the throat after. You can't take it off for a day. Provides excellent warming of the sore throat and neck as a whole. Improves blood circulation and lymph flow.

Important!

Massage of the tonsils with tonsillitis is effective only when the plugs have already formed. If you have catarrhal sore throat without plugs, you should not massage. It is advisable not to massage high temperature- this can worsen the course of the disease.

Don't forget your tonsils! They produce lymphocytes, gamma globulin, lysozyme, interferon and produce a lot of metabolic processes. They are an integral part of the human immune system, their work is very important.

In addition, one should not forget about the anatomical location of the tonsils - they are not far from spinal cord, and are directly related to circulatory system Therefore, inflammation of the pharynx, tonsillitis can lead to problems and inflammation in many other organs.

When a person gets sick with colds, he is interested in everything available ways fast and efficient recovery. Someone immediately goes to the doctor, and someone tries at home folk ways and practices. One of the ancient methods of treatment is called acupressure, but can it be used to eliminate the pain in the throat? We will try to answer this question in this article.

There are special acupressure techniques for sore throats:

1. soft touch and in a circular motion the lower part of the thumb and the jumper on both hands are massaged (in turn), each for 5 seconds. Next, an “injection” is made with the thumb of one hand at the base of the nail of the finger of the other, the duration is 5-7 seconds. For each hand, do this technique 3 times.


2. massaged thumb on both feet, jumpers between them and other fingers.
