Jingming point The bladder meridian point of Foot Taiyang originates from acupuncture A and B meridians, also known as smart, tears, empty tears, canthus and so on. Jingming point is named because it is located in the eye and close to the eye, which can cure blurred vision and improve eyesight. Eyes, the location of points, the main target of qi and blood in points is eyes. A wise man means a bright spot. This point is the first point of the bladder meridian in the temple, and its source of qi and blood comes from the ascending qi and blood of the bladder meridian in the body, which is transformed from the ascending qi and blood of the bladder meridian. Blood is nourished by this point in the eyes, so the eyes can become bright and clear. This point is also the intersection of five veins, namely, the sun on the hand and foot, Yangming on the foot, Yangqiao pulse and Yinqiao pulse, and is a commonly used point for treating eye diseases.
Location of this point:
"Introduction to Acupuncture" said: "The eyes are clear in the eyes, and the red meat is trapped in the eyes." "Tongren" also records that "a tear in the eye is bright, and a nod in the eye is outside." "Acupuncture" records that "Jingming point is located on the face, slightly above the corner of the eye. This point is located in the medial ligament of eyelid at the inner edge of orbit, and the deep part is rectus oculi; There are medial canthus artery, vein and trochlear artery and vein, and there are ophthalmic artery and venous trunk above the deep layer; There are upper and lower trochlear nerves, the deep layer is the ophthalmic nerve, and the upper part is the nasociliary nerve. "
Acupoint function:
The reason why people's eyes can see everything clearly and distinguish five colors is that they are nourished by the essence of the five internal organs. Among them, the meridian qi of kidney meridian and bladder meridian is particularly important. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing that if you drink into the stomach, you will overflow the essence; if you drink into the spleen, your temper will disperse the essence; if you go up to the lungs, you will pass through the waterway; if you go down to the bladder meridian, the water essence will be distributed everywhere, and the five veins will be parallel. This also shows that the operation of human water essence is driven by bladder meridian qi. Jingming point is the starting point of bladder meridian of Foot Taiyang, which can regulate the essence of bladder meridian, make Shui Gu turn into blood imperceptibly, and better nourish eyes, so this point is an important point for eye care. Jingming point can tonify deficiency and diarrhea, and it has certain curative effect on both asthenic eye disease and asthenic cold disease.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion Dacheng points out: "Seeing clearly leads to fixation and farsightedness, aversion to wind and tears, aversion to cold, headache and dizziness". The Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion also records: unclear eyes, pathogenic wind, eyes full of tears, cold eyes, dizziness, red pain of inner canthus, itchy pain of canthus, white and dark skin, and unfathomable. "Hyperopia is unknown, evil wind and tears are more common in senile cataracts and presbyopia. Senile cataract, hyperopia, etc. , mostly due to liver and kidney deficiency, it is difficult to raise eyes. Jingming point is an important point connecting bladder meridian and eyes. Stimulating this acupoint can adjust the essence of bladder meridian and nourish the eyes better. Therefore, this point has a good effect on senile vertigo, hyperopia and blurred vision. Clinically, Jingming point, Zhuzhu point, Shenshu point and Ganshu point are commonly used for comprehensive treatment. However, deficiency syndrome is slow to take effect and needs regular massage and health care.
"Jade Dragon Song" says: My eyes are red, swollen and painful, my eyes are hard to see, and I am afraid of the sun. I only stare at the fishtail point, and the sun bleeding naturally disappears. This is mainly about Jingming point, which is mainly used in modern medicine to treat eye swelling and heat pain (mainly for pinkeye and sudden fever) and acute conjunctivitis. However, acute conjunctivitis is a common acute epidemic eye disease caused by bacterial infection, which is highly contagious, so this point is rarely used to treat this disease in clinic now. Instead of acute conjunctivitis, wash your hands frequently (with running water) to avoid infection, do a good job of personal hygiene, and remember not to rub your eyes with your hands.
Jingming point is also an important point to prevent myopia and relieve eye fatigue. Among them, the second eye exercise that we are familiar with is pressing Jingming point. Press the index finger of both hands on the eye socket points on both sides respectively, and press up and down according to the rhythm to make four eight beats. With more and more desk workers and computer workers, eye fatigue is common. Usually, you can rub Jingming point after work, which can relieve eye fatigue and prevent myopia.
