How to press on a point
The Chinese divide the degrees of action into treatment points in three ways:
- at acute pain and at primary treatment shown application of lung circular massage of the point, which is carried out with the tip of the index finger. The duration of the massage is from one to five minutes;
- at chronic diseases, depending, however, on general condition person, it is best and most reliable to use acupressure of medium strength. Multiple massages throughout the day are recommended. Duration - up to thirty (depending on the circumstances) seconds;
- strong pressure is applied mainly with the thumb. However, in special cases other options are possible. When the desired point is found on the body, lightly touch the tip of the index finger or thumb skin, then begin to make circular movements with a finger, shifting the skin relative to the skin or muscle tissue the rhythm is two revolutions per second. In this case, you should pay attention to ensure that the finger always remains on one (necessary) point of the body. When applying symmetrical pressure on the points, you should be especially careful.

Nature has provided the tonsils as a protective structure against the entry of various infections into the body. Sometimes the “structure” becomes inflamed. More than 80 diseases have been described that are in 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. Health does not always improve after tonsil removal.

Why are tonsils in sight?
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: liquefied food, microbes and bacteria. Once in a favorable environment (wet and warm), bacteria begin to multiply intensively. The body cannot allow such expansion and urgently “uses” white blood cells - leukocytes, which penetrate the tonsil tubes (lacunae) and organize 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 leukocytes. When they die, the participants in the battle create special enzymes that seem to “melt” the tissues of the tonsils themselves and form pus bags(cavities).
But it is not all that bad. A person, without noticing it, constantly “squeezes out” clogged cavities - during swallowing movements, yawning, tense neck muscles, and turning the head. The result of the “spin-up” can be seen in the mirror if you stick your tongue out as much as possible, that is, perform the yoga “lion pose.” A liquid coating of a whitish-yellow or even greenish color will be clearly visible on the surface of the tonsils or far on the tongue.
Lion wash
"Lion Pose" - great way not only clearing tonsils, but also treating a sore throat. If interested, you can compare the color of your 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 brushing movements towards the “exit”. If a strong gag reflex appears, do not overdo it, wait out the attack and do not bring the spoon too far in the next approach. It is believed that gagging occurs more often if the tonsils are heavily clogged with pus.
How to do 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 your chin to your sternum.
4. Concentration of attention - on the muscles of the neck and larynx.
5. Duration of execution - how long the breath hold is enough.
6. The exercise is performed at least three to five times in one approach.
7. When finished, gargle with salted water. This is an optional condition, but a significant addition to the procedure, significantly enhancing its effectiveness. Take half a teaspoon of salt per glass of water.
Tonsil cleansing massage
When natural cleansing of the tonsils does not occur (for example, a person turns the neck a little) or they are not cleaned using techniques, purulent cavities can greatly increase, go beyond the boundaries and begin to spread into the cervical tissues. When the tonsils are removed, the cervical cavities filled with pus become closed sacs and can turn into cysts that release toxins into the surrounding tissue. 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 clear tonsils is a special massage. It is not difficult to carry out, the advantage is that it does not require a second person.
Using the pads of the thumb and forefinger near the jugular cavity, we seem to grasp 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 clearly palpable. The fingers should not follow the muscle itself, but along its anterior edge. Direction - to the corners lower jaw or to the ears.
Under the wisdom teeth, the fingers change direction and move along soft tissues under the 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 can be felt as two lumps at the angles of the lower jaw. Think of how a doctor checks for inflamed tonsils.)
During the massage, soreness may appear - this is the pus squeezed out of the tonsils that irritates the walls of the pharynx. Some people start coughing - if this starts, clear your throat and continue the procedure. After the massage, it is very important to gargle with acidified ( lemon acid on the tip of a knife, dilute with water or lemon juice in half with water) or salted (1-1.5 teaspoons of salt per glass) water. You can also use rinses with apple cider vinegar - add a small amount to the water until it tastes sour. Salty and acidic solutions are allowed to be swallowed.
One massage session takes from 30 seconds to a minute; there is no need to do longer. This is a daily procedure, done morning and evening. Don't forget to lubricate the outside of your throat with Vaseline or cream before starting. Massage movements should be gentle. 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 “clogged” his tonsils are. Therefore, initially we must proceed from the fact that there are purulent sacs in the tonsils.
You can clear your tonsils in other ways - though not as deep as massage.
Exercise "ring":
- the mouth is closed, the tip of the tongue rests on the palate, turns back as far as possible and is fixed in this position - the muscles of the larynx and neck tense;
- concentration of attention - on the muscles of the neck, larynx and tongue;
- duration - keep the muscles tense for as long as the held breath allows. Do several approaches. Rinse your throat as you would after the lion pose.
Smooth turns and tilts of the head forward, backward and to the sides with obligatory fixation of the head at the end point of the turn will also have a beneficial effect. Such elements are “built-in” into many health-improving gymnastics. Regular classes help get rid of headaches and reduce double chin. When you feel better, the tonsils can be cleaned for prevention.
Those who have home physiotherapeutic devices can use them instead of gymnastics. For those who don’t have them, sing in the truest sense of the word. Sound vibration - excellent remedy for tonsils. The most “physiological” songs are folk ones.
Massage of points 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 The search engine for points is on the top right. You enter the name or number and look.
So.
- The first thing we do when we have a cold is to start eating less so that the body spends energy not on digestion, but on fighting the disease. We drink more fluids.
- We drink vitamin C every day in one form or another (lemon, cranberry. If it’s a pill, it’s better with kefir, so as not to injure the mucous membrane and improve absorption).
We don’t take pills. The maximum (for a sore throat) is gargling with peroxide, soda-iodine, etc., as well as an herb like chamomile with honey. For coughs, use mineral milk and similar folk remedies.
Further - point massage(with excerpts and quotes from the tips given on the site). During the massage, you should feel a slight pain at the point, as if you were pressing on a nerve. If it is not there, then the point was found incorrectly. Either you are not sick. When the disease is at its peak, the points hurt with all their might.
…Various groups points act on different departments. This treatment consists of several stages.
“1) elimination of the inflammatory process;
2) helping the body fight intoxication (let me remind you that the virus destroys the cell and thereby clogs the body with decay products);
3) restoration of mucous tissues, by which we immediately localize the disease and do not allow it to spread.”
It is better to do them all one by one, but you can take breaks between stages. Nevertheless, it is important to carry out the full course, all stages together.
FIRST STAGE (fighting inflammation)
- Main point - jan-gu(2-VIII) - on the inner surface of the foot, on the bend 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 procedure is this: work on the jan-gu for at least 5 minutes until the heat goes away from your legs; then move on to Lianquan - 2 minutes of work is enough here; then you work on shao fu - until the heat goes away from your hands. After this, 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 (temporary for now) in body temperature to normal; 2) general improvement of condition; 3) feeling of a surge of strength. This is no wonder: after all, you not only supported your cells with energy, but also stimulated the functioning of the kidneys and relieved tension from the heart.
On second stage It would be better to use the help of someone close to you, but at worst, you can do it yourself.”
SECOND STAGE (fighting intoxication)
4. “The main point is yes-zhui(14-XIII) - on the back of the neck, between the first pectoral and seventh cervical vertebrae. The seventh neck one is easy to find; it seems to protrude above the others. When working on da-zhui, the vertebra needs to be pressed from the bottom up, as if penetrating deeper with its action. We will not limit this work by time. Act as long as it feels good (good pain!), until you get tired of it.”
5. Additional points - feng chi(20-Xl). They are under the occipital bone on both sides of the spine in the pits. Work for 3-5 minutes.
“...Finally, in order to take everything away from the spine, it would be nice to treat its entire thoracic region, starting from the bottom of the shoulder blades and to the da-zhui. Down up. Look for painful places between the spinous processes of the vertebrae, and work where you find them. At least for a minute. This is where you can’t do it without outside help.”
THIRD STAGE (effect on mucous membranes)
6. Main point - heh-gu(4-ll).
7. Then - pian-li(6-ll) - above the wrist, 1/4 of the distance between the carpal and elbow folds.
8. Next point– le-qué(7-l).
Connecting: cheng qi(1-lll) - on the lower edge of the orbit of the eye, directly under the pupil; And Zhong-wan(12-XIV) - on the midline of the abdomen approximately midway between the navel and the xiphoid process.
Cheng-qi:
Zhong-wan:
Additional: tzu-san-li(36-lll) - below the knee, next to tibia(to find this way: from the base of the head of the fibula, draw a mental horizontal line to the tibia and take it below the width of a finger); And tai-bai(3-IV) - posterior and inferior to the head of the 1st metatarsal bone.
Tzu-san-li:
Tai-bye:
“...And the last thing. If you are not completely tired yet and you remember the importance of the immune system, work on two more points according to your mood:
qu chi(11-ll) - on ulna outside…
…And chi-tse(5-l) - on the outer edge of the elbow fold. Localization: with the arm slightly bent at the elbow joint, on the elbow fold at the radial side of the biceps brachii tendon.”
“How long does it take to do this?
While there are symptoms. While the dots are "screaming". But - only willingly, not through “I can’t”. In principle, this program allows you to cope with the disease in one day, so that in subsequent days you can only do “polishing”.
POINT MASSAGE FOR PAIN THROAT
The massage is carried out in two stages. The first is for a dramatic 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’s better to do the entire second stage right away. The first stage, without deep study, may not be enough, and the disease will return later.
“...So, the first task: we relieve 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 have, say, at least half an hour to get some serious treatment.
You understand that symptom relief cannot be called a full-fledged treatment. It's just a surrogate. Minimal action designed for maximum effect. But when there is no time, you don’t have to choose.
FIRST STAGE
First point, which we need, is located on the thumb, 0.3 centimeters from the outer corner of the nail. Use a pen, the nail of your other hand, or a toothpick. Be careful: you must reach the point absolutely accurately. Therefore, topography and millimeters are only guidelines; the main criterion is sensation. Sensation of a sharp prick. Pain. Touch it with your fingernail: next to it there is nothing, but in this place it’s as if a needle is being driven in. That means it is.
And you must do at least 50 such injections.
The point is called shaoshan. Then do the same procedure on the other hand.
The second point is on the palm. Above the thumb on the palm there is pillow. In the middle of it is the desired point. It is extra-meridian, so you don't need to know its name. For sore throat it is very acute. Found it? Great. Now with the thumb of the other hand - the pad of the thumb - we begin to influence it.
Sore throat - acute infection with pronounced inflammatory changes in the pharynx, especially in the area of the palatine tonsils, which are colloquially called tonsils. They are located on the sides of the entrance to the pharynx and are clearly visible if you look into the open mouth. Official medicine calls the inflammation of these tonsils tonsillitis, and sore throat is only its variety, which is an acute inflammation caused by bacteria (less often viruses and fungi). Angina is often very difficult and gives dangerous complications.

If you can see the tonsils, they look like this: red - catarrhal tonsillitis; covered with a purulent white-yellow coating - lacunar tonsillitis; the entire surface of the tonsils in light yellow “bubbles” is follicular tonsillitis.
The most dangerous complications of angina:
IN early dates- pharyngeal abscesses, spread of infection into the cranial cavity with the development of inflammation of the meninges (meningitis), sepsis (blood poisoning);
In the later stages (after 2 - 4 weeks) - chronic tonsillitis, rheumatism, glomerulonephritis, myocarditis.
