お腹の不調 夏
Upset stomach
気温が高いのに、お腹が冷えたり、お腹が硬くなったり、逆にお腹がペコペコしたりと、胃腸の調子が悪い。腹部の冷えは、強いストレスや、緊張状態が続いたりすることでも症状がでやすいです。冷たい飲み物や食べ物を多く摂りすぎることでも胃腸の血流が悪化していきます。鍼灸治療としては、リラクゼーション効果を高め、ストレスや疲労の蓄積を緩和し、自律神経を整え、血液循環の調整機能の促進、血行不良を改善していきます。お腹や腰を温めて症状を緩和していきます。温めることで、血管を拡張して血行を促進し、うっ血を改善して、胃腸・消化機能の衰えを整え、腹痛やガスの溜まりを解消します。また、鍼灸治療は、自律神経の調整を得意としています。人間の体は自律神経の働きによって暑いときは血管を広げて熱を逃しやすくし、寒いときは血管を縮めて熱を体内に留めることで体温調節をします。ただし、夏場は冷房を付けた涼しい部屋から気温の高い外に出る機会が多く、自律神経の働きが追いつかなくなる場合があります。鍼やお灸の治療を受けた後、ふぅっと体が楽になるのは、過緊張だった乱れた自律神経の働きが整い、全身のバランスが調整されると、自然治癒力が増して、健康な状態に少しずつ変わっていくからだと言われています
Despite high temperatures, the stomach is cold, hard, or conversely, the abdomen is flabby. Coldness in the abdomen can also be a symptom of strong stress or a continuous state of tension. Consuming too many cold drinks and food also worsens the blood flow to the stomach and intestines. Acupuncture treatment includes increasing relaxation, relieving stress and fatigue, regulating the autonomic nervous system, promoting the regulatory function of blood circulation, and improving blood circulation. It warms the abdomen and lower back to relieve symptoms. Warming will dilate blood vessels, promote blood circulation, improve congestion, regulate gastrointestinal and digestive weakness, and relieve abdominal pain and gas buildup. Acupuncture treatment also excels in regulating the autonomic nervous system. The human body regulates temperature by expanding blood vessels to allow heat to escape when it is hot and contracting blood vessels to hold heat inside the body when it is cold through the action of the autonomic nervous system. However, during the summer, there are many opportunities to go outside from a cool air-conditioned room to a warmer one, and the autonomic nervous system may not be able to keep up with the workings of the body. It is said that the reason why the body feels more comfortable after receiving acupuncture or moxibustion treatment is because the workings of the autonomic nerves, which were overstrained, are regulated and the balance of the whole body is adjusted, which increases the natural healing power and gradually changes the body to a healthy state.
