A Book That Addresses Women's Health Issues

Chapter 101 A good way to make mastitis disappear

Female friends can effectively prevent and treat mastitis as long as they often massage the mammary gland reflex area on the back of the foot during pregnancy, and often lightly scrape the meridians on the underarm and outside the gland.Mastitis is an acute suppurative infection of the mammary gland caused by milk stasis and bacteria. It is a common disease in women under the age of 30. Female friends who are breastfeeding are most likely to get this disease.Once mastitis occurs, the breasts will have different degrees of fullness, local lumps will be touched, there will be obvious tenderness, and the milk secretion will not be smooth; in severe cases, the breasts cannot be touched, and the touch will be particularly painful. The pain was unbearable.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this disease is mostly caused by the maternal milk not being emptied on time in the early stage of puerperium, or because the nipples are chapped and painful, and the baby sucks less, or because the postpartum nutrition has not kept up, external evils take advantage of the weakness, and then lead to mammary ducts being blocked. Bacterial infection, and invasion to the parenchyma, and finally the formation of various types of mastitis.In addition, some female friends have breast discomfort in life, which is mostly caused by depression. They may not have a high quality of life after marriage, long-term worry, excessive boredom, coupled with unreasonable diet, often stay up late and work overtime, and seldom communicate with others , the depressed gas in the heart has no place to vent, which directly leads to stagnation of liver qi, failure of catharsis, blocked milk network, poor milk discharge, and blocked milk, which leads to this disease.To prevent and treat mastitis, we need to start from the meridians. Female friends can effectively prevent and treat mastitis as long as they often massage the mammary gland reflex area on the back of the foot during pregnancy, and often lightly scrape the meridians on the underarm and outside the gland.

As long as you find breast tenderness, you can massage these parts more, and the tenderness problem will be solved. 1. If the breasts are swollen and painful, and there are obvious lumps in them, you can observe the quality of your tongue again.If the tongue is pale and the tongue coating is white, it means that there is cold in the body.At this time, the best way is to apply a hot towel to the hard lump of the breast, and push up the reflex area of ​​the breast on the instep 300 times.It is best to put on a breast pump to suck out at the same time. Generally, after such internal and external pinching, most of the pain will be relieved quickly, and the hard lump will become soft.From then on, I pushed 100 times a day on the mammary gland reflex area on the instep, and breast swelling and pain and hard lumps would no longer occur. 2. If the breast is distended and painful, the lump is more obvious, and the internal heat is greater, and the tongue is red. At this time, you can mash the cold medicine such as cactus, aloe or dandelion, apply it on the lump, and wrap it with gauze. Change it every hour; if you massage the mammary gland reflex area on the instep in time, it can also have a good preventive effect. 3. If mastitis is caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, you need to adjust your mood.At this time, it can be treated with the help of the Qiemen point on the pericardium meridian.This point is not only a first-aid point for heart patients, but also an important point for treating acute mastitis.Qiemen point is on the palm side of the forearm, 5 inches above the transverse crease of the wrist.When you are upset or your heart is uncomfortable, you can press the Qimen point with your fingertips, rest for 3-5 seconds every 1-2 seconds, and repeat the stimulation 3-5 times.While pressing, the wrist should be rotated inward at the same time, so that a good effect can be received.

In addition, Tianchi point is connected with many meridians such as liver and gallbladder. When the stagnant qi of the liver and gallbladder meridians is reversed, the qi of the gallbladder meridian goes through its same-named Sanjiao meridian; the qi of the liver meridian goes through its same-named meridian of the pericardium. Sometimes there will be stasis at Tianchi point (1 inch next to the nipple. When female friends look for this point, first look for 3 inches under the armpit, which is the position next to the breast), resulting in mastitis or breast hyperplasia.Female friends must rub it with their palms more often, and they can also cup it here (under the condition that there is no lump here). ?Warm tips for a lifetime of benefits: Early warning signs from the breast: 1. Lump: If you feel the mass has a clear border, soft texture, and good mobility when you touch it with your hands, it may be a benign adenoma; if the mass changes with the menstrual cycle , is more common for mammary gland hyperplasia. 2. The texture is hard: there is adhesion to the surrounding tissues, no pain, and accompanied by enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit, supraclavicular, and neck, which may be breast cancer. 3. Pain: If the breast has periodic pain, it is mostly breast hyperplasia; if the pain persists and is close to the sternum, it may be rib hyperplasia on the chest wall. 4. Nipple discharge: If the nipple discharge is only serous or milky, it is mostly due to mammary duct dilation or a benign pituitary tumor in the brain; if the nipple discharge is bloody, it is mostly breast cancer.

(Sometimes scraping can also cure hyperplasia of mammary glands. The main cause of hyperplasia of mammary glands is stagnation of liver qi. Therefore, if you want to cure it completely, you must maintain a happy mood. Remember: no matter how bitter, tired, or sad, you must laugh Smile, because there is no flaming mountain that cannot be overcome. Now, mammary gland hyperplasia has become a common and frequently-occurring disease among 30-year-old female friends. In recent years, this disease has become younger and younger. According to some statistics, its incidence accounts for about 75% of all breast cancer. 30% of the disease; more than 80% of women over the age of 30 have different degrees of breast hyperplasia. Breast pain (mainly pain), lumps (mostly in both breasts, soft texture) , smooth movement), nipple discharge (white or yellow), etc., are common symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia. Why are [-]-year-old women prone to this disease? It is mainly due to the accelerated pace of life, increased mental stress, and disordered diet structure. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, Chong Ren imbalance and stagnation of liver qi are the two main causes of mammary gland hyperplasia. "Women take the liver as the foundation", so many people only pay attention to the liver storing blood.

Menstruation reflects the internal environment of the body. Female friends with normal menstruation are generally in better health. Once a woman's menstruation is disordered, her body will go downhill, so female friends must adjust blood in time.Regulating blood is important, but the function of "liver governing catharsis" is more important. Women should regulate Qi before regulating blood!Because qi is the commander of blood, and qi is the baton of blood. Wherever it points, blood will go there.In addition, qi is also relatively "delicate", and if you encounter something that goes wrong, you will have poor qi movement.The liver is responsible for dredging the channels of qi. Once it fails its duty, the qi in the whole body will not be able to flow smoothly.Therefore, regulating liver qi is the right way for women to keep healthy!If you have breast hyperplasia caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, you can take a scraping board by yourself at the time of the Sanjiao meridian (21:23 to 3:5) every night, and then treat Taichong and Xingjian points , Zusanli point for scraping.Scrape each acupoint for [-] to [-] minutes each time, which can relieve breast tenderness and other symptoms caused by breast hyperplasia.Generally speaking, the Taichong point on the liver meridian is the first choice for meridians to treat hyperplasia of mammary glands.

In addition, Xingjian point is the Xinghuo point (sub-point) of the liver meridian, which actually relieves its seeds; Zusanli belongs to the Hetu point of the stomach meridian, which has the functions of reducing phlegm, promoting blood circulation, reducing swelling and activating collaterals.In addition, Gastrodia elata is sweet and flat in nature and has a good effect of calming the liver and calming the wind.The navel leads to the five internal organs and is close to the liver. Therefore, filling the navel with gastrodia elata powder can make the medicinal effect quickly reach the liver through the meridians, so that the liver qi can run normally. It is also more suitable for breast hyperplasia caused by liver depression and qi stagnation.If you have glandular hyperplasia of the liver and kidney yin deficiency type, symptoms include breast tenderness, sometimes accompanied by afternoon hot flashes, dark complexion, red cheeks, dizziness, tinnitus, back pain, fatigue, less menstrual flow and pale color, Pale tongue.You can insist on scraping at Taichong, Xingjian, Zusanli, and Taixi points, so that you can soothe the liver and regulate qi, and can also nourish the kidney water and kidney essence.Scrape each point for 3 to 5 minutes.When you are fine, you should insist on massaging these acupoints.Of course, the main cause of mammary gland hyperplasia is stagnation of liver qi. Therefore, if you want to cure it completely, you must maintain a happy mood. Remember: no matter how bitter, tired, or sad, you should also smile, because there is no flaming mountain that cannot be overcome. .
