“Chinese medicine believes that joint disease and muscle pain at this time of year is caused with the aggravation of dampness. Especially once the weather returns, some people who have had joint disease or significant muscle strain are more prone to the recurrence of old diseases.” Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine First Affiliated Hospital, Director of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Professor Zhuang Lixing explained that, although the spring of nature and the body of Yang Qi began to gradually rise, but when the return of the day to the South, the humidity is too high, too heavy yin, the human body’s blood circulation is more affected. Do not love sports and daily work life to be sedentary, long standing, ambulatory people, cervical spine, lumbar spine and joints of the limbs are more likely to feel heavy and weak, and even uncomfortable around the body, which is a clear symptom of the invasion of dampness into the human body. “In addition to using a variety of ways to try to keep the residence and work environment dry, it is best to take an hour a day to do exercises to promote blood circulation, to maintain the flow of qi and blood around the body, through the pain.” Zhuang Lixing suggests that those who have obvious symptoms of heavy dampness can try to go to a regular medical place for fire cupping or do warm needling (burning moxa segments over the handles of needles for acupuncture) treatment. As for daily health care, if the home can play a warm effect of physical therapy equipment, every day for the joints and muscle parts of the pain properly done once or twice, can also play a certain health effect. In addition, you can also go to the drugstore simply buy some moxa sticks, lighted against the painful joints points “hanging moxibustion”, that is, away from the skin 1-2 centimeters of moxibustion, so that the skin flushed and feel the warmth can be. You can also place a thin slice of ginger on the point, and then place the moxa on top of it, called “ginger moxibustion”. The following points are generally easier to operate, and have the obvious effect of warming yang and dispersing cold, dredging the blood and dampness: foot Sanli point: knee patella outside the lower knee eye, straight down four cross fingers, the tibia outside of a cross finger that is. Great Vertebral Point: directly below the seventh cervical vertebra (the most prominent vertebra in the neck when the head is bowed). Guanyuan point: four transverse fingers directly below the navel.
