A "string" on the wrist, rub it to cure insomnia!

Where is this "rib"?

Stretch out your hand, palm up, and carefully touch one inch on the wrist on the side of your little finger (the one that is too fat, the fleshy one may not be able to touch it), and you will feel a "string".

 

On the radial side of this tendon, there is an acupoint called Tongli. Rubbing this point can improve sleep well.

why?

 

Tongli acupoint is the "collateral point" on the heart meridian of Hand Shaoyin, and is the "hub" that connects the heart meridian of Hand Shaoyin and the small intestine meridian of Hand Sun. The word "tong" should be used to communicate smoothly. "In", when talking about the neighborhood, outside and inside. Tongli acupoint means to communicate the two meridians of the outer and inner meridians, so that the meridians can flow unimpeded.

 

The heart is the yang viscera, which belongs to the yang within the yang, and it is especially prone to generate false fire and heat evil. Combine it with the small intestine to help the heart "remove the fire" by distinguishing the turbidity of the small intestine. The combination of the heart and the small intestine is a natural "fire-reducing" device in our body.

Tongli acupoint is undoubtedly the trigger to activate this "fire-reducing device", which has the effect of clearing the heart fire and calming the heart's deficiency and heat. Therefore, this Tongli point has the effect of helping sleep.

When the heart yin is insufficient, there will be deficiency and heat. Insomnia, poor sleep, multiple dreams and early awakening or difficulty falling asleep, are all different. At the same time, the heart is particularly annoying, the more you can't sleep, the more disturbed. At the same time, the hands, feet and heart are warm, thirsty and dry throat, night sweats, red tongue, or red tongue, less tongue coating, tongue pain. At this time, apply Tongli point to clear away heat and trouble, nourish yin and calm the heart.
When the effort is insufficient, there will also be signs of deficiency of heat and annoyance. This kind of people have poor sleep quality, insomnia and dreaminess, or wake up early, or can only fall asleep once a night, and it is difficult to sleep again when they wake up. At the same time, upset, palpitations, forgetfulness, physical fatigue, and mental exhaustion. The complexion is a bit yellow, and the tongue is pale with white fur. This kind of person is also suitable for using Tongli acupoint to calm the nerves and help sleep.
When phlegm fire disturbs the heart, it will also cause insomnia. Nightmares are varied, easy to wake up, restlessness in the heart, reduced diet, headache and flushing, red eyes, hot urination and impatience, abdominal fullness. The tongue is red and crimson, and the tongue coating is less active and yellow and greasy. In this state, it is also particularly suitable to use Tongli acupoint to treat, soothe the mind and calm the mind, eliminate troubles and calm the mind.

Of course, the causes of insomnia are not limited to these three, but in general, using Tongli acupoint can have the effect of clearing the heart, soothing the mind and removing heat, and it does have a regulating effect on the aforementioned insomnia. Especially for insomniacs who are upset and blushed, the effect is better.

Because of this feeling of upset in the heart, the ancients called it regretful, and "Acupuncture Dacheng" said that the master of this point was "sorrowful for several days." "Ma Danyang Tianxing Twelve Acupoints and Treatment of Miscellaneous Disease Songs" stated that it can cure "he can't speak, annoyed and embarrassed, but the limbs are heavy, the head and cheeks are red...". And "Jade Dragon Song" also said that it can cure "the day after day annoying face makeup, and it is hard to be frightened...".

Therefore, for the Tongli acupoint on this tendon on the wrist, we should indeed rub it more, rubbing it on each side for 15 minutes a day until sleep improves.
