Background information

TCM background information

Weak menstruation (hypomenorrhea)

 

Application:

 

1 week before menstruation and 1 week after the menstruation respectively 1 time daily edit the points.

 

Weak menstruation is defined by the fact that its duration is very short. Normally, it lasts between one and two days. There is pain in the abdomen, which is relieved by pressure. The face is usually pale, the skin dry, and dizziness may also occur. The blood is thin and pale.

In TCM, one speaks of a so-called blood deficiency. In this case, the body is not able to produce enough blood. This is usually due to a weakness in the spleen energy. Another cause can be a blockage of the liver energy. If the Liver-Qi cannot flow freely, a congestion can occur in the area of the uterus and disturbances of the menstrual cycle can follow. Liver energy can stagnate due to an unhealthy diet, but also due to suppressed emotions. It is also said in the vernacular," a louse has run over the liver". Already here you can see that the connection between organs and emotions was also known to us.

 

 

MP 6 this point is the classic strengthening point for the spleen energy. In China, women are told to work this point daily because they lose blood every month through menstruation. The spleen is responsible for qi and blood production. If the spleen energy is weakened, the body cannot produce enough qi and blood from the food it takes in, and as a result there is a blood deficiency.

 

MP10 supports the point MP6. MP 10 is also called the "sea of blood". While MP6 is responsible for energy and blood production, MP10 is specifically responsible for blood. It is a very important point for women, because the body has to produce blood again and again due to the cycle.

 

Le3 is in this program due to the fact that liver energy congestion can also lead to weak menstruation. If one would be with a TCM physician, he could recognize whether it is a deficiency or a congestion. Depending on that, he could decide whether to add this point or not. Since we do not have this possibility of personal diagnosis, we simply take the Le3 point to be on the safe side.

But this is not a disadvantage, because Le3 has a general relaxing effect on the liver and thus also on the psyche. There are TCM physicians who claim that every Western person needs this Le3 point. Why? Simply because most of us live in a constant stress mode due to our modern lifestyle.

 

Le3 is a wonderful point to bring our energy out of the head and down into the body, thereby grounding us and making us feel comfortable in our bodies again.

Acupen

MP 6 "Meeting place of the 3 Yin" - Sanyinjiao

One of the most important Acupuncture Pointswhich strengthens the spleen

 

- Location:

4 transverse fingers above the tip of the inner ankle (malleolus internus)

 

- Traditionally classified as:

 Loss of appetite, fatigue, diarrhea, feeling of weakness in the lower extremities, menstrual disorders, in the absence of menstruation, impaired libido.

 

Comment:

This point is used in Chinese medicine to tonify the spleen energy. It is often used in combination with the point Ma36. Due to our diet, many suffer from MIlz-Qi deficiency, which manifests itself in sweet cravings, tiredness after lunch, general fatigue and soft stools. So this point is very important for us.

 

Another area of action of this point is that it removes moisture from the lower of the 3 Heater removed. Thus, it also has a specific effect on the urinary tract and is used here for micturition disorders, dysuria (pain during urination) and cloudy urine.

 

MP6 is also an important point to Blood and Yin strengthen and will therefore be Blood deficiency and Yin deficiency used.

 

MP6 is also one of the main points in any gynecological problems, as it regulates the uterus and menstruation and resolves pain.

 

The point also has a lot to offer on the psychological level. Thus, it has a strong calming effect on the mind and is therefore used for sleep disorders. Due to its effect on the liver energy, it also works very well with irritability.

 

Sp 10 "Sea of Blood" - Xuehai

Frequently used point for the removal of Blood stasis

3 transverse fingers (2 cun) proximal to the upper edge of the patella (kneecap). Above the upper edge of the patella.

 

- Traditionally classified as:

all types of menstrual cramps, amenorrhea (late onset of menstruation), dysmenorrhea (painful mentruation), eczema, itching, knee pain

 

Comment:

Many women suffer from pain during menstruation. This pain is often caused by a blockage. MP10 is an important point to relieve this blockage. Other points that also relieve congestion are MP06 and Le03, which are often used in combination with MP10.

 

Lv 03  "Big meeting" - Taichong

Source Point of the liver meridian, most important point on the liver meridian

Comment:

This is an important point to eliminate Fullness in the liver, it is somewhat milder in effect than Le02.

 

It has a special effect on cramps and increased muscle contraction.

 

It has a profound and calming effect on the psyche and is an important point for very tense, impatient and stressed people. This function is lacking in the point Le 02. For this purpose, the point is often used together with Di4. Together they belong to the most important acupuncture points and are called the "Four Gates".

 

Qi Gong

The word Qi Gong consists of 2 syllables - Qi and Gong. The Chinese term "Qi" can be translated for us most likely by "life energy". But it contains more than this. It also means breath and air. In Chinese medicine, Qi is considered to be the invigorating force that flows through all living things. However, Qi is not only inside the body of a living being, but also outside. Qi also shows itself to us in nature. Thus animals, flowers and trees are flowed through by Qi. Qi is the living force that is inherent in everything and that makes life possible.

 

The Japanese call this force "Ki". In India it is called "Prana". It always means the same thing - the power and energy that is inherent in everything and keeps us alive. In Chinese medicine, health is only possible when the Qi in our body is pure, not polluted and can flow freely.

 

Due to bad living habits, in the course of time, energy blockages can occur in the body system and as a result, diseases can manifest, which can be physical or psychological in nature. Generally speaking, we can say that a living person has Qi throughout the body.

 

The word "gong means roughly "body work" or "success through perseverance and practice". Therefore Qi Gong is called "Work with the life energy". We learn to improve the flow and distribution of Qi in our body through movement and concentration to strengthen our health and bring body and mind into harmony. At the same time we learn to stand correctly, between heaven and earth. This significantly improves posture and many aches and pains disappear on their own.

 

Qi Gong is a holistic healing system with a long tradition, which has been continuously developed until today. It includes health-promoting postures, movement, self-massage, breathing techniques and meditation. Through these various exercise methods, Qi is supposed to be collected and stored in the body, like in a reservoir. The goal is to expel the impure Qi and absorb fresh pure Qi.

 

Qi Gong is not a medicine that is prescribed for a limited time, but rather it should be practiced daily. In this regard, 20 minutes of daily practice is enough to improve health and one's well-being to a great extent.

 

Anyone can practice qigong. There are exercises for every age and every state of health. The exercises can be practiced standing, sitting, lying down or walking. So even physically challenged people can easily practice Qi Gong and improve your health in a sustainable way.
