The buds that emerge from the junction of leaves and stems of plants are called axillary buds. Armpit refers to the fur under the armpit of a fox. The idiom “put together an armpit to make a fur” means that although the fur under the fox’s armpit is very small, it can be sewn into a fur robe when gathered together. It is used to refer to how little makes a lot. In ancient poems, the so-called “only aware of the qingfengsheng under the two armpits” also refers to the fur under the armpits of animals.
pressing the armpit is beneficial to health
From the anatomical point of view, there are abundant adipose tissue in the armpit, and important nerves and blood vessels innervating the upper limbs pass through. There are also lymph node groups in the fossa, where the upper limbs, chest wall and superficial lymph in the back gather. If there is inflammation or even cancer in these parts. Axillary lymph nodes often swell up, so. Usually check the status of axillary lymph nodes. It has the significance of early detection and treatment.
Researchers believe that regular self pressing and pinching of armpits can relax tendons and activate blood circulation, harmonize blood and Qi, and strengthen body and anti-aging. Specifically.
First, it can promote the smooth return of blood in the whole body and improve the gas exchange capacity, so that the body can obtain more nutrients and oxygen;
Second, it can enhance the functions of many organs and improve the metabolic capacity of the body;
Third, it can stimulate various sensory organs and make them more sensitive to the outside world. The method of pressing and pinching is: cross the left and right arms in front of your chest, press the right armpit with your left hand, and press the left armpit with your right hand. Use your fingers to massage and pinch moderately. The force should not be heavy. Press and pinch for about 3 minutes each time. It’s better to squeeze it once in the morning and once in the evening.
There is an acupuncture point at the artery pulse at the top of the armpit, which is called “Jiquan”. According to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion or massage of Jiquan point can prevent and treat heart disease, periarthritis of shoulder, breast disease, etc.
the secret of armpit laughter
If others tickle your armpits or underarm flanks with their fingers, the touched person will often laugh uncontrollably. Why do people laugh when they are tickled? This seemingly trivial matter has led many celebrities to discuss it. Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, believed that the feeling of being tickled under the arm was both pleasant and painful. British Bacon said: even in an unhappy mood, as long as you are tickled, you will laugh. Darwin’s view is that tickling and laughing also requires a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, and the reactions of enemies and friends are different.
According to research, babies will laugh loudly because of tickling at about 6 months. The baby’s smile in turn infects adults, thus strengthening the relationship between parents and children. Tickling in adults may also make people laugh. Laughter can lead to “armpit movement”, which is generally beneficial to health, but the time of tickling should be short, otherwise it will cause pain. It is said that a punishment in medieval Europe was to tickle people for a long time until they were tortured to death. It can be seen that there is usually no pleasure in being tickled. Otherwise, people will take the initiative to ask their relatives and friends to tickle themselves.
magical underarm birth
When I was young, I often heard people talk about the saying “give birth to children under my arms”. When adults play with children, they often say, “you were born in the armpit.”
Everyone knows that the fetus grew up in the womb and came into the world through the birth canal. However, ancient and modern records at home and abroad show that babies are indeed born from “abnormal channels”.
Take liver pregnancy as an example. In recent years, several cases have been reported in Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Taiwan. The times of the UK reported that a pregnant woman in Cape Town, South Africa, had an ectopic fetus implanted in the liver and delivered safely. The baby girl born by caesarean section was named enlala, which means “lucky”. The international fertility community exclaimed: it is a medical miracle once in a thousand years that this mother can still save her life after nine months of pregnancy.
But even more bizarre, I’m afraid it’s even an underarm birth. It is said that the famous ancient thinker Lao Tzu “dissected his mother’s left armpit when he was born” (according to the book yuzhitang Tan Hui). Besides celebrities, there are also many ordinary people who have this kind of adventure, such as “the woman of Min Ma was pregnant and gave birth under her own threat. Her mother was healthy. Her child also grew up.” “In the later Wei Dynasty, in the second year of emperor suzong’s reign, Han Seng, a native of Qixian County, Bingzhou, came out from her mother’s right flank. Empress dowager Hu ordered her to be raised in yeting.” If this kind of account is too simple, there is still more definite. Wen Lin, the author of Lang? Man copy, said: in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Suzhou reported that “a woman gave birth to a man under her own threat”. He himself had personally “summoned” him in Suzhou. He said that the boy was 8 years old at that time. His name was fo Ji’er and he was the nephew of doctor Huang. The child’s appearance is quite upright, with a mole on his nose, black and large. It is also recorded in the book that the child’s mother was “swollen as carbuncle” when she was pregnant and “saw that her threat was flat” after birth.
Although we can’t believe the truth of “giving birth to a child under the arm” (under the threat), we can’t see it as a fabrication, so we record it for future reference. We should know that ectopic pregnancy exists objectively after all.
However, the armpit is also the weak part of the human body after all, so the legendary Jiaolong would suck human blood there. In the Song Dynasty’s Mohe wields the rhinoceros, it is said that “the shape of a Jiao is like a snake, its head is like a tiger, and its length is as long as several feet… When you see a person, you first circle it with fishy saliva, and then fall into the water. That is, you suck its blood under your armpits, and the blood will stop.”
