La-Jing Therapy For Treatment Of High Blood Pressure And Physical Pains

   

A Chinese exercise for addressing shrunken tendons, La-Jing is used to address various ailments such as spasms; leg pain; back pain; waist pain; neck pain; hard to do physical activities; soreness or numbness of the knee, elbow, and hand; leg length inequality; and difficult kneeling or bending. Famed Hong Kong master and practitioner of TCM in Marlton, Cheng-Chiang Zhu, established a simple La-Jing technique based on 50 years of clinical experience. This technique is very inexpensive so much so that almost every person can easily avail of its use. It produces immediate results, easy to practice, and safe suitable for all people (female, male, old, or young) to practice. You can perform it at the office or home, maintain health, treat ailments, or prevent illness.

  1. Place a couple of flat and steady chairs at the side of a door or beside a wall.
  • Sit at the edge of the chairs. Move your buttocks close to the door side or wall as near as possible.
  • Lie down face up. Raise your right leg up against door support or wall pole while you bend your left leg at the knee with your right foot touching the floor. Raise your two arms flat on the chairs for 10 minutes. Let your left foot perform cycling exercises during this time. This will help loosen your hip joints.
  • Transfer the chairs to the opposite side and do the same exercise this time raising your right leg up against door support or wall pole while bending left leg at the knee and left foot touching the floor. Do the cycling exercise for another 10 minutes.

Standing Up La-Jing Exercise

  1. Go to a door threshold. Raise your two arms upwards stretching your arms as much as you can on each side of the door support.
  • Then bend one leg to the front while bending the other leg behind.
  • Your body should be parallel with the door, with eyes looking ahead and your head straight and parallel with the floor.
  • Maintain this posture for three minutes. Then change your position with the leg that was previously bended leg to the front now bending behind and the other leg previously bending behind now bending to the front. Maintain this posture for three minutes also.

This technique can pull the back and the connected ligaments and tendons, the shoulders, and shoulder blades. You yourself can use it at home to treat joint inflammation and pain, frozen shoulders, shoulder pain, etc.

La-Jing can even cure high blood pressure and arm pain.

Cautions

You can perform La-Jing in the area surrounding your back and its connected ligaments and tendons and the area around your shoulder and shoulder blades. This activity can also address shoulder inflammation and pain as well as frozen shoulder syndrome.

  1. If you are suffering from chronic physical weakness, osteoporosis, heart problems, or high blood pressure, you may first need to consult with your doctor to see if La-Jing is right for you. This may be necessary since La-Jing exercise can initially cause pain before its benefits can be attained. While you experience pain, your blood pressure may rise, and your heartbeat may also beat faster. You need to avoid break or bone splits if you have osteoporosis. People who are physically weak may faint from the pain. Sick and elderly should take it easy when performing La-jin. To prevent blood from rush to your head, you may need to put a pillow below your head. The benefits may manifest soon enough if you continue on a long-term basis.
  • During the exercise, if you experience hyperventilation, cold sweats, coldness, numbness, or if your face starts turning blue, the best way to overcome these issues is to use a plastic or paper bag and breathe into it with your mouth or nose. The symptoms should be gone after five minutes, and you return to normal once again.

To ascertain whether you need La-Jing, bend typically and determine yourself whether your hands reach the ground. You definitely need La-Jing if the gap between the ground and your hands is more than 15 inches.

You can perform La-practically anywhere but its best if you practice it near your office wall, near a tree trunk, or on a park bench. You practice it without chairs on a room floor while elevating one leg straight on the wall and the other leg sliding to the side floor against an object for support.

La-jing is a holistic type of TCM body healing. It is quite dissimilar from the Western medicine approach of treating the feet for feet pains” or “treating the head for headaches. The La-Jing technique doesn’t require any understanding of acupoints. It is simply used to move and relax the energy channels. “There is blockage if there is pain. There is no pain if there is free flow.” La-Jing is a natural form healing that doesn’t have side effects and can eliminate various forms of pain naturally.

Stomach Cupping Therapy For Abdominal Problems

   

Constipation is a problem people don’t really like to talk about, and like to experience even less. In the realm of stomach problems, constipation may be just the tip of the iceberg. Other frequently occurring issues like diarrhea, distention, and IBS can all be addressed using stomach cupping. People will do all sorts of things with varying levels of success just to avoid these discomforts. The fact is many of these issues stem from avoiding certain foods, changing their diet, and adding other foods. On a case-by-care basis, some of these things can be good, but if you regularly consume caffeine, chocolate, sugar, meat, or processed foods, you may want to consider a safe and efficient therapy such as cupping that can enhance your digestion significantly.

All forms of cupping treatments have a few things in common. It involves the use negative suction or pressure that draws your skin away from your body. It increases blood flow to the treated areas, removes toxins in the body, breaks up fascial adhesions, and in the case of stomach cupping, boosts digestion. During a session of stomach cupping therapy, the practitioner will first apply oil to your stomach, then cups are placed and slid clockwise over the stomach where the intestines are located. This stretches and expands the organs in your stomach, and you may feel some discomfort and weirdness in the area of treatment, but pain is very rarely felt. In addition to increasing the movement of waste, the therapy also improves bile flow and encourages regular bowel movements.

How Does Stomach Cupping Work?

As you digest food, the process known as peristalsis enables it to go through the intestines. Peristalsis is a wave-like contraction of the muscles that moves waste. Massage can imitate this process by the administering a wave-like motion massage on the colon or large intestine. The massage may also involve compression, which isn’t always comfortable for the client. So, in addition to being very helpful, one can imagine how cupping can improve that movement by opening up the intestine to create more space. This is what stomach cupping can do.

Whether you’re in good health or not, if you regularly struggle with IBS or constipation or if you’re simply looking for a way maintain a healthy stomach, talk to a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner or acupuncturist in Cleveland to see if stomach cupping is appropriate for you.
