The so-called 'wealth bag' sounds very pleasant! But other than that, it's not a good thing. It grows at the junction of the seventh cervical vertebra and the first thoracic vertebra, and more and more people have a wealth package to relieve dampness on the back of their cervical vertebrae. It doesn't matter age or weight!
Key point: Long wealth bags on the back of the cervical spine, your cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lifespan begins to count down! Why do you say that? Because of its unique location, it happens to grow on the Dazhui acupoint. If this position is blocked, it will block the 7 meridians of the human body, and many people call this bag the 'Death and Wealth Bag'! If there is a blockage here, even the Du meridian, bladder meridian, large intestine meridian, small intestine meridian, Sanjiao meridian, gallbladder meridian, and stomach meridian will be blocked!
As a hub for the exchange of qi and blood, the Dazhui acupoint can cause blockage once it becomes blocked. After blockage, qi and blood cannot flow upwards, leading to dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, and shoulder pain. Prevention is more important than treatment. If you notice this sign, you must start paying attention and do not wait until the cervical spondylosis becomes "calcified". By then, it will be too late!
1、 How to self check if you have a 'wealth package'?
A very simple method is to stand on the back wall in the yoga mountain style, with your feet open to hip width, and your legs, hips, and shoulder blades pressed against the wall behind your entire body. Then observe if your head can stick to the wall. If not and there is a noticeable protrusion on your neck, it indicates that you have a wealth bag! Even if there is no obvious protrusion and the head cannot stick to the wall, it still indicates abnormal body posture and needs to be dealt with!
