【我畏寒系列】暖貼 VS 穴位

#正能量星期二
#識貼一定貼神闕穴、關元穴
#睡眠時不要貼暖貼

天文台預測今個星期五開始轉冷，各位要做好防寒準備。從中醫角度來看，氣滯、氣虛、血虛及陽虛體質人士特別容易手腳冰冷。要舒緩寒冷不適，有些人會用熱毛巾，或將加熱過的粗鹽、薑片敷於穴位上，以達溫通經絡、氣血運行順暢之效。對於都市人來說，最方便快捷的方法就是貼暖貼，今次介紹神闕穴和關元穴，只要將暖貼貼上在這兩個穴位便能收保暖的功效。

神闕穴：腹中部，位於肚臍正中央，是生命的大穴，通五臟之氣。
關元穴：臍下約3寸（即四橫指寬度）。

注意：
• 避免把暖包直接貼在皮膚上，以減低燙傷的機會，建議把暖包貼於內衣上。
• 睡眠時不適宜使用暖包，因暖包放在床鋪內，其溫度會較正常高，易燙傷肌膚。

How to use adhesive warming pads properly?

The observatory is predicting a drop in temperature this Friday so be sure to stay warm. From a Chinese medicine perspective, qi stagnation, qi deficient, blood asthenia, and yang deficient body types are especially prone to having cold limbs. To release the discomfort from cold, some people may use hoy towels, hot coarse salt or ginger slice on acupoints to open up the channels and meridians and promote smooth qi and blood circulation. To urbanites, the easiest way is to use adhesive warming pads. Today we will introduce the spirit gate and origin pass acupuncture points to use the warming pads with.

Spirit gate point: located in the center of the belly button. It is a major point and can open up all organ qi.
Origin pass point: 3 inches below the belly button

Note:
– avoid placing the warming pad directly on your skin to prevent potential burns. It is best to stick them onto your under shirt.
– don’t use the warming pads during sleep as the temperature under your blanket is higher and may lead to burning your skin.
