Flu

 

When the flu hits us, we need to practice patience and give the body the time it needs to recover. We can help the body a little in the meantime by treating immune-boosting and generally relaxing acupuncture points.

I would like to present you the 4 most effective ones here.

 

LI 04 - General pain point with effect on the head area.
It's between your thumb and index finger at the highest point when you put them both together.

This is one of the acupuncture points most commonly used in acupuncture. It resolves pain, especially in the upper part of the head, for example head and neck pain. But it also helps when the sinuses are closed.

Since flu also often causes tension in this area, we use this item.

 

LI 11 - the 11th point of the large intestine meridian, located on the outside of the elbow, is one of the best strengthening points for the body.
It has an immune-boosting effect and is therefore an optimal support for the body especially during flu.

 

LI 20 - this point is located on the side of the nostril and is often very sensitive when stimulated with the AkuPen.
When the eyes start to water, this is a sign that you have hit the point correctly. This point clears and clears the nose and eye area. It thus helps with stuffy or runny nose.

 

Gb 20 - is soothing to the eyes and ears.
It is also located at the back of the head, more specifically at the occipital margin on the inner side of the mastoid process.

It is one of the most important points to clear the head area. It can help to dissolve the dull head feeling that the flu gives us, so that the head feels freer and clearer again.

Acupen

- Location:
In the middle of the 2nd metacarpal on the radial side in a depression.

 

- Helps with:

Comment:

This item is included in the Pregnancy prohibited, as it is used to speed up the birth process.

 

It is often used as a remote point in the treatment of facial, oral, nasal and eye problems.

 

The combination LI 04 with Lv 03 is called "4 gates" and is very well known, because it is Wind from the head area dispels pain and calms the mind.

 

Di 04 also has a strong relation to the psyche and can therefore be needled to calm the mind and anxiety. In this case, the combination Di04 +Le03+LG24 is used.

 

Combine Di04 with another very important item, Ma36, and you have a brilliant combination to strengthen the immune system.

 

LI 11 "Curved pond" - Quchi

Toning point of the colon meridian

Gb 20 "Wind Pond" - Fengchi

Comment:

This is an important point in order to achieve inner and outer Wind to eliminate. Especially when it manifests itself in neck stiffness and headaches. In combination with Lu07, the Wind-Cold eliminates. To eliminate Wind-Heat, GB20 is combined with Di04 and 3E05.

 

It is an important point because it forms the transition from the spine to the brain. This point (occipital area) should be free of blockages so that the brain is optimally supplied and can work smoothly.

 

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.

Chinese herbs

The herbal therapy is called "the queen of TCM" in traditional Chinese medicine. This underlines its high status. Herbs form an important foundation of TCM and have a profound effect on the human organism. They can replenish deficiencies, expel states of fullness, warm or cool the body. They are generally referred to as herbs. Nevertheless, minerals are also used in the recipes.

 

Herbs are usually prescribed after a thorough diagnosis by a doctor. In this diagnosis, in addition to a conversation, attention is paid to the pulse, tongue and overall appearance of the person. Nevertheless, there are herbal mixtures that have proven themselves over the centuries for various problems.

 

We have made suggestions for all clinical pictures for such proven recipes. Nevertheless, in many cases it may be necessary to consult a doctor or therapist. Based on the individual situation, this person can recognize how the energetic situation really is at the moment and, based on this, recommend the optimal herbal mixture. Of course we do not have this possibility, because we cannot meet you personally. Nevertheless, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us and we will try to help you as much as possible. 

 

For many disease patterns there are 2-3 herbal suggestions. The first suggestion is always the one that from my experience is suitable for most people. However, if there is no reaction, then try the second mixture that is suggested to you. 

 

However, herbal therapy needs some patience, because in most cases it works slowly and subtly. In return, there are no side effects and the effect is very long-lasting.
