How to Nourish Health Through Autumn Massage?
1. Nasal Area Massage
From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, the lungs open into the nose. The nasal mucosa is highly sensitive to cold air, and exposure to autumn winds can trigger colds. Daily cold-water nasal rinses combined with massage nourish lung qi and enhance resistance to cold.Apply a cold towel to the nose each morning and evening. Alternatively, rub your fingers together until warm, then massage the bridge and sides of the nose 50 times. This strengthens nasal mucosa resistance and aids in treating nasal congestion and colds.Reflex zones for various internal organs and tissues are located on the feet. Appropriate massage and stimulation can help regulate bodily functions, improve local blood circulation, enhance liver detoxification and metabolic capacity, and aid in eliminating toxins from the body.The area below the eyes along the cheekbones is where the Large Intestine Meridian passes. Gently tap this area with the pads of your index, middle, and ring fingers held together. Perform this about 15 minutes after breakfast to help restore normal intestinal function.
4. Chewing and Mouth Rinsing
>Each night before bed or upon waking, perform upward and downward mouth movements. With your mouth closed, press your tongue against the roof of your mouth and perform a rinsing motion about 100 times. Then slowly swallow the saliva in your mouth. Repeat this cycle about 36 times. This promotes blood circulation in the gastrointestinal tract, accelerates blood flow, and helps resist the damage caused by autumn dryness to the digestive system.
5.Rub the web between thumb and index finger
The Hegu point (LI4) at this location is the most crucial acupoint on the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Massage this point when experiencing nosebleeds, constipation, acne breakouts, tinnitus, toothaches, red and swollen eyes, or blood streaks in nasal discharge.
