The flesh in the abdomen has unknowingly grown a lot again; although controlling the diet, the flesh in the abdomen seems to only increase without decrease. In real life, not only overweight individuals will carry around the annoyance of “love handles,” but even some visibly slender people may be puzzled by a protruding belly, so suspiciously resembling pregnancy.
If there is excess fat in the abdomen, it must be treated; otherwise, it will have a relatively bad impact on the body! Next, I will share with you that there is a meridian in the human body around the waist and abdomen, binding the various meridians of the body. It can not only help everyone recover a slim waist but also have a good regulating effect on overall health!
If the belt meridian is blocked, the lower abdomen will become fat. How to use moxibustion?
How to moxibustion for cold uterus, just moxibustion like that. Because, if the belt meridian is blocked, the lower abdomen will become fat. And cold uterus can cause the belt meridian blockage!
Abdominal obesity is a very troublesome thing, not only for overweight individuals but also for some who appear slender.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, abdominal obesity is often caused by the blockage of a special meridian in the body called the “belt meridian.”
The belt meridian is one of the eight extraordinary meridians in the human body, located between the waist and abdomen, the only horizontally running meridian in the body. The “belt” in “belt meridian” implies a belt because it runs horizontally between the waist and abdomen, binding all the meridians in the body straight like a belt.
What is the function of the belt meridian?
The belt meridian can restrain the vertical meridians, such as the foot Taiyin, Taiyang, and Yin and Yang Qiao meridians, enhancing the connection between meridians. The belt meridian also has the functions of protecting the fetus and regulating women’s lower body.
The main symptom of belt meridian disease is “weak belt meridian,” manifested as various flaccid and atrophic symptoms due to insufficient binding strength. Therefore, once the belt meridian is blocked, it is easy to develop a fat lower abdomen. What is the function of a belt? To prevent pants from loosening.
All other meridians in the human body run longitudinally, but the “belt meridian” encircles horizontally, as if tying up the longitudinal meridians with a rope, so once the belt meridian is blocked, multiple meridians in the waist and abdomen will be obstructed, leading to a natural fat accumulation in the lower abdomen and below.
Many people find that the excess flesh in their abdomen and waist keeps increasing and cannot be reduced no matter what they do. In fact, this is a reminder that the “belt meridian” is blocked, the binding strength is insufficient to control the growth of excess flesh in the waist and abdomen. It’s like our belt is broken, unable to tighten the waistband of pants, and the excess flesh will grow uncontrollably.
Cold uterus can also cause belt meridian blockage
It is well known that without the warmth from sunlight, the earth will forever be in severe winter. The uterus is the same; the warmth of the uterus is the basic indicator of a woman’s body.
With a warm uterus, the circulation of Qi and blood in the body is smooth, following a regular cycle, and the seeds planted will develop into a baby. If the uterus is troubled by cold, the blood and Qi will congeal due to cold, not only affecting the body’s appearance but also hindering reproduction.
Many women gain weight first in their lower abdomen without knowing the cause of abdominal obesity. According to traditional Chinese medicine, abdominal obesity is not only caused by the accumulation of abdominal fat due to self-induced constipation but also related to female cold uterus.
If the uterus lacks warmth, to maintain its physiological functions, fat takes on the role of “uterine protector.” As the uterus gets colder, the body increasingly needs to store fat, resulting in weight gain. Severe cases are accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, insomnia, vivid dreams, scanty menstruation, and anovulation.
Self-diagnosis signs of a cold uterus:
Observation: Dark menstrual blood, clear and white discharge, dull and pale complexion, dark tongue color, white and slippery tongue coating.
Olfaction: Foul-smelling discharge.
Questioning: Dysmenorrhea, melasma, feeling cold, delayed or absent menstruation, lumbosacral soreness, lack of warmth in limbs.
Touch: Lower abdomen feels cold.
Moxibustion – Removing cold from the uterus and flattening the lower abdomen
The correct way to reduce abdominal fat is:
Firstly, regulate the cold uterus, find back the body’s “little sun,” warm up the belly, prevent the uterus from being cold, and the excess fat will naturally dissipate.
The nemesis of a cold uterus – “moxibustion,” uses ignited moxa sticks to fumigate the corresponding acupoints, allowing the heat to penetrate the meridians. The effects of the treatment spread along the meridians, effectively warming the meridians and improving health. According to the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, “Cold accumulation causes full-blown diseases, and treatment with moxibustion is suitable,” indicating that moxibustion is very suitable for warming the meridians, dispersing stagnation, nourishing the middle, and replenishing Qi, making it the best way to treat a cold uterus.
Acupoints suitable for moxibustion
Guanyuan Point:
Can strengthen the body’s yang Qi and tonify deficiency. It is quite effective for symptoms such as deficient yang Qi, physical weakness, fear of cold, etc.
Qihai Point:
Moxibustion on this point has preventive and therapeutic effects on irregular menstruation, excessive menstruation, and infertility.
Maintaining massage and moxibustion on the Shenshu Point can increase blood flow to the kidneys and improve kidney function.
The importance of the abdomen can be seen here: Traditional Chinese medicine considers the abdomen as the “palace of the five Zang organs and six Fu organs, the source of Yin and Yang, Qi, and blood.” The abdomen represents Yin, and all the Yin meridians pass through it, such as the gall bladder meridian, kidney meridian, spleen meridian, etc.
If the abdomen gets cold, it can easily cause blockages in the belt meridian, followed by blockages in various Yin meridians. A fat lower abdomen is just its external manifestation, the more destructive part of which is invisible – the hazards that blocked meridians pose to health.
Therefore, here is a reminder for beauty-conscious women rushing to transform: If you don’t want a bulging belly, don’t rush to change.
Deduce belt meridian, weight loss, detoxification, and anti-aging
If you want to say goodbye to the fat on your belly and restore the smoothness of the blocked “belt meridian” to improve health, there is an effective method – regularly deduce the location of the belt meridian and use massaging along with moxibustion for better results.
