Immune points on the human body. Performing acupressure using the Umansk method

A few thousand years ago in China, people noticed that by influencing certain points on the human body, for example, pricking with stone or iron needles, they can relieve pain (toothache, headache, stomach pain, etc.), stimulate the functioning of internal organs and treat diseases.

In our time, this knowledge has been systematized, biological atlases have been compiled active points responsible for certain functions of the body. Such an atlas can now be freely purchased in a bookstore.

All these points are connected to each other in lines - energy meridians along which the vital energy “qi” circulates throughout the day. Every energy channel, or meridian corresponds to a pair of internal organs. For example, one meridian corresponds to the heart and small intestine, the other - the stomach and pancreas, etc.

The time when a particular channel is filled with vital energy “qi” corresponds to maximum activity these internal organs. By influencing biologically active points located on these channels, you can directly influence internal organs, activating their functions and improving their condition.

Now there are about 700 biologically active points known on the human body, although no more than 150 are actively used. They cannot be seen, but can be found by feeling. When pressing on them, a slight pain occurs.

The diameter of biologically active points varies depending on the person’s condition: from 1 mm during sleep to 1 cm after waking up. In the area of ​​the point, the temperature rises, oxygen absorption increases and the electrical resistance of the skin decreases. Under a microscope you can see a large accumulation of nerve endings.

Methods of influencing biologically active points:

1 – acupuncture (acupuncture)

2 – acupressure(acupressure)

3 – thermal (cauterization, warming, exposure to cold)

4 – cupping massage(creates a vacuum over the point)

5 – electropuncture (exposure to electric current in the microampere range)

6 – laser

7 – ultraviolet

8 – infrared

9 – microwave

10 – exposure to magnetic and electric fields.

And .

Hardening.

Physical activity and exercise.

Special treatments like massage and baths.

Giving up bad habits.

At the same time, it is very important that there is balance in everything: in work, in nutrition, and in rest - everything should be in moderation! But the most great attention should be addressed balanced diet (optimal daily ratioproteins, fats and carbohydratesshould be1:1:4 - A. A. Pokrovsky, 1977),which any person can replace all sorts of pills, and dietary supplements, and multivitamins, and diets, and immunostimulants with immunomodulators... After all, in All medications undermine the immune system, replacing the functioning of the body.

Each person has his own “favorite” and “least favorite” foods, but from them huge variety you can always choose an assortment of useful and delicious foods just for you. In case of any health problems, it is not difficult to introduce into your diet foods rich in the vitamins and microelements prescribed for you, which will strengthen your immunity. So it's worth remembering that vitamin C rich in: kiwi, rose hips, peppers, citrus fruits, cranberries, black currant, onions, cabbage...
Modern treatment has become prohibitively expensive for most people, and therefore you need not to be lazy and find time, strength and perseverance for physical education, hardening and useful procedures to protect yourself and your loved ones from any diseases.
To be healthy you need to sweat at least once a day! Physical activity, accelerating blood circulation, strengthening the immune system.
Exercise of the Ancientsfrom Dr. S. Agapkin from TV show "About the most important thing": No. 372 dated 10/13/2011 - starting position - standing and leaning on your knees with straight arms:inhale - exhale - hold your breath and draw in your stomach 10 times - repeat 10 times. And in the program No. 450 from 02/09/2012 recommends foods for immunity: yogurt – 100 g per day, 2 cloves of garlic per week, sesame oil into the nasal passages, exercise 3-4 times a week.

2. Strengthening immunity in children

To increase immunity in our children In the programs "About the most important thing" Dr. Agapkin recommends: Strengthening the immune system in children No. 369 dated 10.10. 2011 And Physical activity in No. 372 dated 10.10.2011:

9 bioactive points

Point 1 is connected to the mucous membrane of the trachea, bronchi, as well as bone marrow. Massaging this point reduces coughing and improves hematopoiesis.

.
Point 2 is connected to the mucous membrane lower sections pharynx, larynx, as well as with the thymus (thymus gland), which regulates immune functions body. Massaging this point increases resistance to infectious diseases.

Points 3 are associated with the mucous membrane of the larynx, pharynx, carotid glomus and thyroid gland. When exposed to these zones, the chemical and hormonal composition blood, voice improves, hoarseness disappears.

.

Points 4 are connected to the mucous membrane back wall pharynx, larynx and upper cervical sympathetic ganglion, which regulates the activity of all vessels of the head, neck and torso. Vegetative-vascular tone is normalized. Headaches and dizziness go away.

Point 5 is located in the area of ​​the VII cervical and I thoracic vertebrae. It is connected with the mucous membrane of the trachea, pharynx, esophagus, and most importantly, with the lower cervical sympathetic nerve ganglion. Massage of this point normalizes the activity of blood vessels, heart, bronchi, and lungs.

.

Points 6 are connected to the mucous membrane of the middle ear, vestibular apparatus. When exposed to these zones, the ears stop hurting, hearing improves, speech development accelerates, stuttering is prevented and dizziness in transport and on swings is reduced.

Points 7 are associated with mucous membranes frontal sinuses ethmoid bones of the nose, as well as the frontal parts of the brain. Decreases headache, strabismus goes away. Improves memory, attention, and ability to work.

8 points connectedwith mucous membranes maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity, as well as with the stem structures of the brain and pituitary gland. These zones can be called “life zones.” When exposed to them, breathing becomes free. Mood, behavior, character improves, height and weight are normalized.

Points 9. The human hands are connected through the superior cervical and stellate sympathetic ganglia to all organs. The thumb and index finger occupy the largest surface area in the cerebral cortex. Impact on the hand zones leads to the normalization of many body functions and enhances the work of all of the above zones, stimulates the functioning of the brain and the whole body.

The massage is performed with the tip of the index or middle finger - press on the skin until slight pain appears. Medium exposure - for preventive purposes, increased - for therapeutic purposes. Massage yourself first, and then your child. Start by warming up your hands by rubbing your palms together. Then start from point 1 - do rotational (as if screwing in the screw) movements– 9 times to the left, and the same number to the right – and move on to the next point. You can start counting “one and two, one and two” - this is exactly the range in which our autonomic nervous system works.

Always start at point 1, then move to points 2, 3, etc. Sequence is necessary because each system of the body must “turn on” in a timely and interconnected manner.

Symmetrical points 3, 4 and 6 - 8 are massaged simultaneously with both hands.

Problem areas need to be massaged more often and To detect them, you can conduct an examination of the baby’s body: Carefully, very gently press the areas of the massage points. If the child behaves as usual, calmly, then we can assume that everything is in order in this area. If the child cries and tries to dodge, then there is no need to make any effort. It is easy enough to touch one or another area to understand whether it is really more sensitive than its neighbors. Then special attention during a massage, use it until you understand from the baby’s reaction that the pain has gone away.

There are more than 1000 bioactive points on our body associated with various structures and organs of our body. Every day we unconsciously influence them: when we wash ourselves, dry ourselves with a towel, comb our hair, when we think, we rub our forehead, etc. Each such impact activates the work of the organs associated with this point, forcing the body to once again pay attention to this organ.

• What is the essence of this technique?

It is on this connection that the methodology of Dr. Alla Umanskaya is based, under whose editorship two volumes of the book “The Shield from All Diseases” were published.

What is the essence of this technique?

Of the 32 most important bioactive points, the author of the technique selected 9 most important (fundamental) points, by massaging which you can achieve improved health, increased protective functions body, getting rid of chronic inflammatory processes, as well as stimulation mental abilities person. As the author himself says: “Impact on 9 point zones is not a massage! Figuratively speaking, the area of ​​the sternum, neck and head is the body’s control panel, and 9 point zones are buttons on the remote control, by acting on which a person activates the main systems and organs responsible for the vital functions of the body.”

How many times a day should you massage bioactive zones?

For the prevention and improvement of the body, it is recommended to act on the points 5-6 times a day, and as often as possible during the period acute stage diseases. Impact on targeted areas should be carried out systematically, i.e. every day. A break of 1-2 days quickly leads to a decrease in efficiency. However, it is better to massage at least 1-3 times a day than not at all.

Additional Tips

In addition to influencing bioactive points, Alla Alekseevna Umanskaya advises performing daily sanitation of the oral cavity, nose, and pharynx. According to the doctor, such daily actions help the body fight bacteria, which frees up the body’s reserve forces to fight various chronic diseases and leads to more quick recovery. The first volume of the book “The Shield from All Diseases” is devoted to this topic.

Since ancient times, Eastern medicine has used acupressure as a means to strengthen human vitality, as an accessible and effective way recovery. After all, many internal organs are connected to points on our skin, and when exposed to skin are activated vitality, the work of all body systems is improved.

If you have patience and are ready to devote 15-20 minutes a day to your immunity, then acupressure is for you!

How to do this massage? Press the points without friction with a medium or index finger. Start with 8-9 pressures clockwise and then counterclockwise and gradually increase their number to 16 per point.

Press lightly, slightly increasing the pressure in those points where pain is felt. Perform acupressure massage daily, maybe 2 times a day - after waking up and before bed, but you can do it more often. First, warm up your hands by rubbing them together and proceed, moving from point to point.

1. The first immunostimulating point is located in the middle between the eyebrows (in the East they believe that the third eye chakra is located there). Process this point.

2. Then process with both hands at the same time symmetrical points, located in the middle of the eyebrows, or rather, right above them. Acting on all symmetrical points, rotate clockwise with the finger of one hand and at the same time counterclockwise with the finger of the other hand, and then vice versa.

3. Now go to the points in the middle lower parts eye sockets, under the lower eyelids.

4. Act on points located symmetrically on the wings of the nose.

5. Press on the point directly under your nose.

6. Find a point located in the center of the chin, as if on the border of teeth and gums, and press on it.

7. Tilt your head and find the strongly protruding seventh vertebra. Exposure to this point also improves immunity.

8. Move on to the ears, walking along them from bottom to top. After acupressure of the ears, rub the auricles, pull them to the sides, down, up, twist them different sides, placing your palms on them.

9. There are also dozens of healing and general healing points on the foot. To make the effect on them effective, purchase any massage mat or pour, for example, pebbles or peas into a box. In the morning, while you wash your face, stomp on such a rug or on stones to properly massage your soles. This activates the huge reserves hidden in your body. And besides, you will finally wake up from such a massage and be ready to actively meet a new working day or day off!

Acupressure according to the system of Professor Alla Umanskaya - important way maintaining the internal stability of body systems.

This form of self-regulation is used for control and prevention Acute respiratory infections and influenza, helps restore and normalize body functions, and provides assistance during the rehabilitation period.

For massage no special skills required. It can be used by any person age category and any level of physical fitness.

Bioactive point areas on the human body are unique levers for controlling the entire body. The essence of Dr. Umanskaya’s method is stimulation of nine active points through your fingers.

During an acupressure session, the receptors of the skin, muscles and muscle ligaments, fingers are subject to irritation.

As a result, the impulses emanating from them enter the spinal cord and brain, promoting intensification of activities all organs and systems.

Massage procedure strengthens protective properties organs respiratory system: lungs, nasal cavity, trachea, bronchi and larynx. When exposed to points in the body, an important link in the defense of the immune system begins to be produced - interferon. It is formed by blood cells and is a natural antiviral defense.

Nine biologically active zones

Professor Umanskaya’s technique implies pressure on nine main points, each of which is responsible for the functions of a specific organ:

• Zone 1. Located in the chest area (middle). Stimulation of the point enhances protective role respiratory membranes: nasopharynx, trachea, larynx. It is especially recommended to treat this area during severe coughing.
• Zone 2. The jugular recess is located on the front of the neck under the larynx. The area responsible for the work immune system. Pressure on the point helps normalize the activity of the thymus ( thymus gland) and improve the quality of its work.
• Zone 3. Located on the front plane of the neck. To detect the points, you need to place two fingers on both sides of the Adam's apple, clearly feeling the pulse. Raise your fingers up 1 cm - these are the points of zone 3. Impact on the area improves blood circulation and normalizes metabolism.
• Zone 4. Concentrated at the top posterior region neck, behind the ear slightly above the lobe. Activation of zone 4 points increases blood flow in the head and neck.
• Zone 5. Located between the first thoracic vertebra and the seventh cervical vertebra. You can find points as follows: tilt your head forward and feel the protruding vertebra (7th cervical) on the back of the neck. The distance between this vertebra and the next one is zone 5. Point massage gives healing effect in the form of improving blood circulation and brain activity, relieving ear, head and neck pain. Helps relieve inflammation of the tonsils.
• Zone 6. It is located in the nasal region along the edges of the convex lateral surfaces of the nose, above the fang teeth. Stimulation of the zone improves the functioning of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, maxillary sinuses and the lower cerebral appendage - the pituitary gland.
• Zone 7. Located just below the beginning of eyebrow growth. Pressure on the points normalizes functioning frontal lobes brain and nasal mucosa.
• Zone 8. Focused on auricle, in the area of ​​the cartilaginous protrusion. Responsible for the activity of the hearing organs and vestibular apparatus.
• Zone 9. Located in the area of ​​the hands. If you press your thumb to your palm, then on the upper part of the protrusion that appears there will be a bioactive point of zone 9, which is responsible for vital important systems body (for example, the brain).

When performing acupressure using Dr. Umanskaya’s method, you should know it highlights:

• Point stimulation must be carried out consistently, starting from the first zone and ending with the ninth.
• Changing point zones during massage leads to incomplete results from classes. Each system of the body must be activated at its own time in order to affect other systems and organs.
• Massage movements are performed with the fingertips and are of a screwing (rotational) nature: 9 times clockwise and 9 counterclockwise. It is necessary to make an equal number of movements in both directions. The duration of pressure on each point is 18–20 seconds.
• Symmetrical points (3, 4, 6, 7, 8) need to be stimulated simultaneously.
• When massaging 1st zone The pads of four fingers are used simultaneously.
• When stimulated 4th zone A different technique is used - stroking from top to bottom.

Attention! During acupressure of the 2nd zone, the pressure should be light. It is necessary to influence the 3rd zone weakly with extreme caution - the carotid artery is located there.

Frequency of stimulation of biologically active points

For the overall health of the body and for prevention purposes, it is necessary to influence bioactive zones 5-6 times a day. During acute stage diseases, it is recommended to increase the frequency of stimulation.

Massage of acupressure zones should be carried out daily. You should not interrupt even for a couple of days, as the effectiveness of the procedure may decrease. If you do not have enough free time, it is better to reduce the frequency of massage from 6 times to 1-2 than not do it at all.

Umanskaya’s technique does not guarantee an immediate effect. The result will only appear when performed regularly depending on individual characteristics body. Often, massage begins to have a beneficial effect after 1-2 months of use; for others it may take longer.

To strengthen the immune system, Professor Umanskaya recommends Perform daily medical and health procedures to improve the health of the body:

• Sanitation of the oral cavity and pharynx in the form of rinsing and washing.
• Nasal sanitation – cleansing the nasal mucous membranes of dust, dirt, salts, viruses and bacteria, as well as accumulated saliva particles.

Dr. Umanskaya advises daily rinsing and lubricating of the nasal and oral cavity fincincidal solutions and oils that inhibit the growth and development of microorganisms. This will allow the body to fight pathogenic bacteria and chronic diseases and strengthen protective forces body.

During the inception of the technique, many questions arose about its effectiveness. Years have passed, and now Doctor Umanskaya’s acupressure has firmly entered into medical practice How affordable and reliable method treatment and prevention of acute respiratory infections and influenza. When performed regularly, massage gives wonderful results.
