Is everyone at a loss when it comes to sudden illnesses? What should I do if I don’t have the corresponding medication around me? Let’s take a look at how traditional Chinese medicine responds to sudden illnesses!
1、 Yanglingquan point: Pressing Yanglingquan point to treat biliary colic
Patients with cholecystitis or gallstones may experience severe colic in the upper right abdomen, which can be relieved by acupoint therapy. The method is to search for the tenderness point, namely Yanglingquan point, under the fibular head on the outer side of the right calf. Press the Yanglingquan acupoints on both calves with both thumbs. Continuously massage for two minutes to achieve good therapeutic effects.
2、 Heel: Apply pressure on the heel of the foot to stop nosebleeds
When nosebleeds occur, you can quickly pinch the heel (the depression between the ankle joint and the heel bone). Pinching the right heel for left nosebleed, pinching the left heel for right nosebleed can immediately stop bleeding.
3、 Zhi Yang acupoint: Pressing Zhi Yang acupoint to relieve angina pectoris
The Zhiyang acupoint is located at the depression below the spinous process of the 7th thoracic vertebra, which is the midpoint of the line connecting the lower edges of the scapular angles on both sides of the spine when taking the supine position and hanging the arm. When angina attacks, patients often experience chest compression and suffocation. At this point, the patient can hold a 5-cent coin and press the edge of the coin to the Yang acupoint. Pressing for 3 to 6 minutes can relieve angina. If you press the Yang point 3-4 times a day, it can prevent the occurrence of angina.
4、 Sanyinjiao point: Pressing Sanyinjiao point to treat renal colic
The Sanyinjiao acupoint is located 3 inches above the inner ankle of the foot. Renal colic is an acute and severe pain in the renal area caused by urinary tract stones. When pain suddenly occurs, patients can use their thumbs to press and massage the Sanyinjiao acupoint. Repeatedly pressing and kneading for 3 to 5 minutes can relieve renal colic.
5、 Laogong Point: Pressing Laogong Point to Treat Sudden Elevated Blood Pressure
Clench your fist, and the point pointed to by your middle finger is the Laogong acupoint. Hypertensive patients can experience a sharp increase in blood pressure due to anger, anger, or excitement. At this time, they can press the Laogong acupoint with their thumb, starting from the Laogong acupoint in their other hand, and pressing one by one until each fingertip, alternating between left and right hands. When pressing, maintain a calm and even breathing. The sudden increase in blood pressure after pressing can be relieved.
6、 Hegu acupoint: Pressing Hegu acupoint to treat syncope
The Hegu acupoint is located between the first and second metacarpal bones on the back of both hands, slightly closer to the second metacarpal bone. When a patient faints, becomes unconscious, pale, or sweats profusely due to heatstroke, stroke, or collapse, they can pinch the patient’s Hegu acupoint with their thumb. After continuous massage for 2 to 3 minutes, symptoms such as fainting may disappear.
