Daily Health Preservation: Twelve - Hour Health Preservation Method
Now we divide a day into 24 hours, while in ancient times people divided a day into 12 hours, that is, two hours correspond to one hour, so daily health preservation is also called 12 - hour health preservation. The 12 hours are closely related to our internal organs and meridians. Among these 12 hours, each hour has a meridian and a corresponding internal organ on duty. Therefore, we should maintain the corresponding internal organ according to each different hour. Next, let's understand the order of exercising meridians in accordance with the law of qi and blood prosperity and decline and meridian operation.
Child Hour (23:00 - 01:00) - Sleep to Protect Yang Qi
When it is Child Hour from 23:00 to 1:00 in the middle of the night, this is the阴极 of the Taiji life clock in a day. According to the law of yin - yang ebb and flow, at this time, yin qi is the heaviest, and yin is related to sleep. So we should follow this law of yin - yang ebb and flow and be in a deep sleep at this time. Everyone should note that it is not that we go to bed at this time, but that we should already be in a deep sleep state at this time. Then when should we go to bed? We should go to bed around 22:30.
During Child Hour, the Gall Bladder Meridian is on duty. When the gall qi is generated at the beginning of yang qi, it is just the emerging yang qi, which is still very weak. We should specially protect this yang qi. How to protect it? It is best to protect it by sleeping. So at midnight, we should not jump or sing anymore, but should sleep. At this time, we should start to nourish yang qi, and we should protect yang qi from the very beginning.
Ugly Hour (01:00 - 03:00) - Liver Meridian Blood - Making Time
When it is Ugly Hour from 1:00 to 3:00, the Liver Meridian is on duty. The Liver Meridian is mainly for growth. At this time, the yang qi is a little stronger than when the Gall Bladder Meridian is on duty. The liver needs to detoxify and make blood at this time. So at midnight, we must not drink alcohol to excess and must not be addicted to games. At this time, the human body needs to rest, and the liver still has to work. People with liver diseases mostly are people who stay up late, because the liver needs to make blood and detoxify at midnight. If we don't give it a chance to rest, it will naturally be easy to get sick.
Tiger Hour (03:00 - 05:00) - Best Time for Taking Pulse
When it is from 3:00 to 5:00 at night, this is called Pingdan. Because at this time, the weather is about to balance, and yin and yang begin to balance. At this time, the Lung Meridian is on duty. At this time, it is just dawn. At this time, it is the most accurate time for Chinese medicine to take pulse. We can see whether your pulse is hard or not. If the pulse is hard, people over 40 years old should consider whether they have hypertension; if people in their twenties or thirties have a tight pulse, it may be that the work pressure is too great or there may be anxiety disorder. A tight and hard pulse is called a string pulse. If it is a string pulse, we should consider whether you have hyperlipidemia or arteriosclerosis.
Rabbit Hour (05:00 - 07:00) - Drink Water on an Empty Stomach to Excrete Toxins
At this time, it is the time when the Large Intestine Meridian is on duty, which is from 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning. A key point in 12 - hour health preservation is that after getting up at Rabbit Hour, one should drink a glass of water on an empty stomach. People with constipation can do this to help relieve constipation. Because at this time, the qi of the large intestine begins to be vigorous. When the large intestine is activated and with the help of water, the stool will come down, which can help detoxify. We should know that the toxins in the stool account for 50% of all toxins in the human body. At Rabbit Hour, qi and blood flow into the Large Intestine Meridian. At Rabbit Hour, in the image of heaven and earth, it represents the opening of the heavenly gate and represents February. All things emerge from the ground because of the germination of yang qi. So it is the best time for defecation. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the Lung and the Large Intestine are表里related". When the lung qi is strong at Tiger Hour, the large intestine can defecate normally at Rabbit Hour.
Dragon Hour (07:00 - 09:00) - Breakfast Should Be Nutritionally Balanced
When it is Dragon Hour, the Stomach Meridian is on duty. At this time, from 7:00 to 9:00, we should have breakfast at 7:00. At this time, the Stomach Meridian is on duty, so the stomach is most likely to accept food at this time. Breakfast must have animal protein and a non - vegetarian dish. For example, having pickled vegetables with rice porridge is not enough; we need to add something with animal protein, such as a little meat or an egg.
Snake Hour (09:00 - 11:00) - First Golden Time for Work and Study
Next, from 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning is Snake Hour, when the Spleen Meridian is on duty. The Spleen Meridian is mainly for digestion. At this time, it needs to absorb nutrients. At this time, it is also the most active time for the brain. It is the first golden time of a person's day. It is the best time for the elderly to exercise, the most efficient time for office workers, and the most efficient time for students to study. So we must have a good breakfast to ensure that the Spleen Meridian has enough nutrients to absorb, so that the brain has energy to cope with daily operations.
Horse Hour (11:00 - 13:00) - Take a Good Nap to Nourish Yang Qi
When it is Horse Hour from 11:00 to 1:00, the Heart Meridian is on duty. At this time, everyone should note that when the Heart Meridian is on duty, we should have lunch and take a nap. Because according to the Taiji yin - yang qi transformation law, at this time, yang qi is the most prosperous. "Huangdi Neijing" says that yin is mainly internal and related to sleep; yang is mainly external and related to waking up. At Horse Hour, yang qi is the most prosperous. After we have lunch and take a short rest to continue working, at this time, we are also efficient. People with yang deficiency should have a good sleep at this time to nourish yang qi most. Then for people whose yang qi is neither deficient nor prosperous, what should we do? At Horse Hour, we only need to rest for half an hour to one hour to nourish our Heart Meridian. Because our heart is very tired. Unless you are a very strong person, you can not take a nap. Generally, we still need to take a nap.
To take a nap, we should lie flat. In this way, blood can be sent to the brain and the liver, which is beneficial for brain maintenance. There is a saying in "Huangdi Neijing", "When lying down, blood returns to the liver". You should lie flat, so that blood can nourish the liver. The liver has an important function of distributing blood in the human body. After you get up from a nap, the liver can transport blood to your brain to ensure your work efficiency. So taking a nap flat is best. What other benefits does lying flat have? It can protect your cervical spine and lumbar spine. The human skeleton is like the pillars of a house, supporting the body all day long. How tired it is. So you can see that old people have more bone diseases. When taking a nap at Horse Hour, the cervical spine can get rest and the waist can also have a rest. If you do this for a long time, you will not get lumbar hyperplasia, cervical spondylosis, or sciatic nerve pain. So taking a nap at Horse Hour is very important.
Goat Hour (13:00 - 15:00) - Protect Blood Vessels and Drink More Water
After Horse Hour, from 1:00 to 3:00, it is Goat Hour, when the Small Intestine Meridian is on duty. The Small Intestine Meridian has absorbed most of the nutrients in the food and sent them into the blood. The blood is full, just like the cars on the street during rush hour, very crowded. At this time, we must drink a glass of water on an empty stomach or tea. This is to dilute your blood. Because at this time, the blood in the human body has high nutrients and is very viscous. So we need to dilute the blood to protect blood vessels.
Monkey Hour (15:00 - 17:00) - Second Golden Time for Work and Study
After Goat Hour, it is Monkey Hour. From 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon, everyone should note that this is our second golden time. At this time, the Small Intestine Meridian has sent the nutrients of the lunch to the brain. The brain is in good spirits at this time. We should seize the opportunity to work and improve efficiency.
Rooster Hour (17:00 - 19:00) - Best Period to Prevent Kidney Diseases
Then it is Rooster Hour, from 5:00 to 7:00 in the evening. At this time, the Kidney Meridian is on duty. We should drink another glass of water. This glass of water is very important. It can help us excrete toxins, and can also clean our kidneys and bladder, so that we will not get kidney stones, bladder cancer, or nephritis.
Dog Hour (19:00 - 21:00) - Third Golden Time for Work and Study
Next, from 7:00 to 9:00, it is Dog Hour, when the Pericardium Meridian is on duty. When the Pericardium Meridian is on duty, our heart qi is relatively smooth. At this time, it is the third golden period of our day. At this time, you can study, go for a walk, or exercise. But when the Pericardium Meridian is about to end its duty, maybe after you come back from a walk, you need to drink another glass of light tea or water to keep your blood vessels unobstructed.
Pig Hour (21:00 - 23:00) - Prepare for Rest
Then it is Pig Hour, from 9:00 to 11:00 in the evening. At this time, we should rest and prepare for sleep, or have a harmonious relationship between husband and wife, etc. These are all best times. You must go to bed by 22:30.
So far, the 12 - hour health preservation has been completely introduced. Its law is to carry out health preservation according to meridians, internal organs, and yin - yang qi transformation. I have summarized a song verse to help you better follow the 12 hours for health preservation:
Get up when it's dawn at Tiger Hour, drink a glass of boiled water and walk downstairs;
Go to the toilet regularly lightly, it's most pleasant to do morning exercises at Rabbit Hour;
Read books and play with young grandchildren at Dragon Hour, be the cook at Snake Hour;
Have a light meal at Horse Hour and drink less alcohol, seize the time for a nap at Goat Hour;
Read newspapers and write poems at Monkey Hour, look at the flowing clouds outdoors at Rooster Hour;
The CCTV news comes at Dog Hour, close your eyes and listen to nourish your spirit;
Wash up quickly after most of Pig Hour, dream into the painting screen at Child Hour;
Wake up once to urinate at Ugly Hour, gently massage the three dan tian to make qi and blood abundant;
The meridian is unobstructed and the heart is like water, sleep until the golden rooster crows.
First Hour: Child Hour (23:00 - 01:00) Child Hour, Gall Bladder Meridian is on duty: At Child Hour, yang qi begins to germinate. When people sleep, they should not exceed 23:00. At Child Hour, people must sleep. Staying up late often will cause insomnia! Second Hour: Ugly Hour (01:00 - 03:00) Ugly Hour, Liver Meridian is on duty: At this time, liver blood germinates. The liver stores blood and controls tendons! The so - called tendons are things with elasticity. The tendons of the human body are all related to the liver. If the elasticity of the tendons is lost, it is a problem with blood. Blood supplies tendons, and tendons have elasticity only if there is enough blood! At Ugly Hour, people must be in a deep sleep. Otherwise, they can not nourish liver blood, and can not achieve the purpose of blood moistening tendons! Third Hour: Tiger Hour (03:00 - 05:00) Tiger Hour, Lung Meridian is on duty: The lung is in charge of qi. At Tiger Hour, the work of the lung is to distribute qi and blood to other internal organs. How much qi and blood each of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney needs is distributed by the lung. At this time, people need to enter a deep sleep to complete the distribution, that is, when people sleep very deeply. It is the worst if people wake up during this period. For example: If there is an elderly person with heart disease at home, we should persuade him (her) to try not to do morning exercises. If the heart function of a person is not good and the qi and blood distribution of the heart is insufficient, it is easy to cause myocardial infarction, which is very dangerous! Fourth Hour: Rabbit Hour (05:00 - 07:00) Rabbit Hour, Large Intestine Meridian is on duty: At Rabbit Hour, the large intestine begins to detoxify. At this time, people need to defecate. At this time of the day, it is the most natural time. People do not need to deliberately control defecation; it naturally occurs during this hour. There is also a point that the Lung and the Large Intestine are表里related. If there is a problem with the large intestine, that is, a problem with defecation, we should find the cause from the lung for treatment! Fifth Hour: Dragon Hour (07:00 - 09:00) Dragon Hour, Stomach Meridian is on duty: From 7:00 to 9:00, the stomach begins to be active. From what has been described above, yang qi begins to germinate at Child Hour and reaches the most prosperous moment at Dragon Hour. We need to supplement some yin things, that is, food. Food is mainly yin. So at this hour, people must eat something, and eat well, with rich nutrition. The most important thing is that eating breakfast will not make people gain weight! Often not eating breakfast will cause stomach problems, and more seriously lead to stomach cancer. One more point, the manifestation of the Stomach Meridian is on the face. For example: By observation, some people who often like to eat cold drinks have a lot of acne on their faces, that is, the acne we often say. The human body is a constant - temperature environment. Eating a large amount of cold food will slowly cause stomach cold. The human body has a self - protection function. It will supply heat to attack this cold. The more heat is supplied, the thirstier you will feel, and the more willing you will be to drink cold drinks. The stomach will supply more heat, and over time, it will form stomach dryness, and eventually this dryness will appear on the face and form acne. So friends who have a lot of acne should not only pay attention to the cleanliness of the face and whether the pores of the face are blocked, but also find the cause from the stomach! Sixth Hour: Snake Hour (09:00 - 11:00) Snake Hour, Spleen Meridian is on duty: The spleen is in charge of transportation and transformation. The spleen and the lung are both called Taiyin in traditional Chinese medicine. Taiyin is in charge of distribution. The lung distributes qi and blood all over the body, and the spleen transfers the qi and blood formed from the food digested by the stomach and distributes them to the muscles of the human body. Compared with the lung, the spleen is a preliminary and initial work. The spleen is in charge of the muscles of the whole body. If there is a problem with the spleen, it will cause muscle relaxation and general weakness. There is another problem, the spleen is related to thinking in emotions. People with a developed spleen will have a very flexible mind and strong relevance. However, if a person thinks too much, it will damage the spleen. Thinking damages the spleen. If there are wet symptoms and edema symptoms on the human body, they all belong to problems with the spleen, and treatment should be carried out from the spleen! Seventh Hour: Horse Hour (11:00 - 13:00) Horse Hour, Heart Meridian is on duty: At Horse Hour, yin qi begins to germinate, which is opposite to the germination of yang qi at Child Hour. The five internal organs, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney, have corresponding relationships with the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The heart belongs to fire, the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to earth, the lung belongs to gold, and the kidney belongs to water. At Horse Hour, we need to achieve the communication between the heart and the kidney, let the heart fire go down and let the kidney water come up to reach the state of communication between the heart and the kidney. The so - called spirit of the heart is shen, and the spirit of the kidney is jing. The stronger the ability of communication between the heart and the kidney of a person, the more energetic this person will appear! Then how can we achieve the communication between the heart and the kidney? It can be achieved through sleeping. So we should take a nap at Horse Hour. Through the communication between the heart and the kidney, we can nourish our spirit, which is helpful for work and study in the afternoon! Eighth Hour: Goat Hour (13:00 - 15:00) Goat Hour, Small Intestine Meridian is on duty: The small intestine is in charge of absorption. At this time, the small intestine begins to be active. The small intestine distributes the essence of the food cooked by the stomach to each internal organ after absorption. So lunch should be eaten more and well. The "well" here means that the nutrition and taste should be relatively high! There is also a point that the heart and the small intestine are表里related. Generally, at this hour, some people may have chest tightness, which may be a problem with the small intestine. Attention should be paid to the protection of the heart! Ninth Hour: Monkey Hour (15:00 - 17:00) Monkey Hour, Bladder Meridian is on duty: The Bladder Meridian is a meridian from the back of the head to the feet. It is a meridian that can reach the brain. At Monkey Hour, it is the best time of the day for memory and work efficiency! The kidney and the bladder are表里related. When urinating, it is the power of the kidney that transports urine from the bladder. The most important point, the Bladder Meridian stores body fluid. For example: Many people have the phenomenon of dry lips, which is that the saliva secretion is insufficient. The secretion of saliva is related to the kidney. Because the kidney belongs to water, if the kidney water can not come up, there will be dry lips. And the kidney water needs to be driven up by yang qi. And yang qi is transported through the Bladder Meridian. So if there is always dry lips, the treatment should be carried out from the Bladder Meridian! Tenth Hour: Rooster Hour (17:00 - 19:00) Rooster Hour, Kidney Essence is on duty: The kidney is in charge of storing essence. The spirit of the kidney is jing. The so - called jing is equivalent to currency, which can be converted into anything. Jing is very important in the human body. What the human body lacks is converted by jing. Jing is the most basic substance to support human activities! The kidney is the most creative organ. The kidney can produce essence, and essence can generate things. If the kidney qi is greatly damaged, that is, essence is damaged. For example, excessive sexual life and excessive masturbation all consume essence. Long - term irregular and large - scale consumption of kidney essence is easy to cause aging, and the harm to the body is endless! If someone has a low - grade fever at Rooster Hour, that is a manifestation of insufficient kidney essence! Eleventh Hour: Dog Hour (19:00 - 21:00) Dog Hour, Pericardium Meridian is on duty: When the Pericardium Meridian is on duty, yin qi is very prosperous, and yang qi is about to end. Joy comes out. That is, at this time, people should go to have fun and communicate, so that people can feel happy at this time! Twelfth Hour: Pig Hour (21:00 - 23:00) Pig Hour, Triple Burner Meridian is on duty: The so - called Triple Burner is upper burner, middle burner, and lower burner. The upper burner is in charge of the heart and lung; the middle burner is in charge of the spleen and stomach; the lower burner is in charge of the liver and kidney. The thing that connects the two organs is called Triple Burner! The most important point, at this hour, it is the best time for sex. After the joy of the previous hour, Dog Hour is very helpful for sex between lovers and couples!
