Finger exercises help you take care of your internal organs

　　Fingers should be the most flexible limbs in our body. For computer users, if they remain hot or cold for a long time, it is very easy to feel numb and painful. If it is not relieved for a long time, it can easily lead to tenosynovitis. In order to reduce the chance of getting sick, we can keep our hands healthy through exercise. So how can we keep our hands flexible and prevent the occurrence of diseases?

　　We often say that the palms and backs of our hands are all flesh, but there is a difference. The side of the palm is the Yin side, the inner side, and has three Yin meridians. The back of the hand is the yang side, and on the outside, there are three yang meridians passing through it. The Qi and blood of the Yin and Yang meridians meet at the end of the finger. People who tend to have cold hands in winter indicate that there is a problem with the intersection of yin and yang meridians, which will also affect the health of our internal organs. So we need hand exercises.

　　Finger exercises

　　1. Wrist rotation

　　When our hands get tired, we often flick or turn them, but the range of motion is too small and the direction is single. Wrist rotation exercises can fully exercise our hands.

　　Method: Step 1: Straighten the five fingers of both hands, bend them in sequence starting from the little finger, and naturally make a fist with your hands. Stretch your arms out, hook your wrists in, and move your wrists back and forth.

　　Step 2: Bend your wrist toward the little finger, then toward the big finger, repeat 3-5 times. Then rotate from front to back and left to right.

　　2. Mighty Tiger Claws

　　The hands should imitate tiger claws. Qi and blood are between the fingers, and power is between the fingers, which is conducive to the intersection and circulation of qi and blood.

　　Method: Make palms with both hands, sit with your wrists upright, push the heel of your palms outward, spread your five fingers as far as possible, bend the first joint of the thumb, and bend the first and second joints of the remaining four fingers. Hold on for 2-3 minutes until your hands feel warm.

　　3. Cross external bracing

　　Method: Stretch out your hands, cross your hands, turn your palms, and push outwards. Pause for 3-5 seconds and repeat 3-5 times.

　　The muscles between the two fingers will squeeze and contract each other. The blood vessels in the hand muscles are compressed, which can speed up the blood flow in the hands.

　　4. Tapping with both hands

　　Method: Step 1: Tap the index fingers of both hands against each other. The palms of both hands face each other, the fingertips face each other, and the two index fingers tap each other to make two eight beats.

　　Step 2: The heels of both hands face each other and tap each other, similar to clapping movements, and do two eight beats.

　　Step 3: Tap the tiger's mouth against each other and make two eight beats.

　　Step 4: The little fingers tap each other, that is, the hypothenar tap each other, and make two eight beats.

　　5. Tightness conversion

　　Method: Make fists with both hands, tightly, pause for 3-5 seconds, and relax. Repeat 3-5 times.

　　This action can adjust the hand as a whole. The desired effect after exercise is to feel hot and swollen.

　　There are more than 30 acupoints on the hands of the human body. Long-term exercise can stimulate these acupoints and promote the circulation of qi and blood. For patients with tenosynovitis and ganglion cysts, long-term persistence in these exercise methods can not only relieve the pain caused by the disease, but also have many benefits for the internal organs.
