According to the working characteristics of scientific researchers, Zhang Boli, an academician of the CAE Member, gave the following three health capsules to help scientific researchers use fragmented time to recuperate themselves. Workplace "guidance technique": For those who suffer from neck and shoulder strain and poor qi and blood circulation due to prolonged desk rest and scientific shoulder relaxation, a three minute workplace "guidance technique" can be attempted. After every 1 to 2 hours of sitting at the desk, you can use the brief rest time to complete a set of simple movements. You can slowly look up and gaze upwards for 3 to 5 seconds to feel the stretching sensation in front of your neck; Slowly rotate the head and neck to the left and right sides until the maximum amplitude is reached, and hold each side for 3 seconds; Finally, lift your shoulders up forcefully until they are close to your earlobes, then suddenly relax and sink, and repeat this shrugging action 5 times. Completing these three movements in a coherent manner can directly stretch the neck and shoulder muscles, unblock the bladder meridian, gallbladder meridian, and Sanjiao meridian that circulate here, and promote local qi and blood circulation. Afternoon Heart Nourishing Tea: For those who experience symptoms of heart and spleen deficiency due to excessive mental exertion and overthinking, they can try drinking a simple afternoon heart nourishing tea under the guidance of a professional doctor. Put 3 to 5 pieces of longan meat, 2 pieces of red dates (cut into pieces), and 5 to 8 pieces of Schisandra chinensis (crushed) into a cup, brew with boiling water, simmer for 10 minutes, and then drink. You can repeatedly brew until the taste is light. Longan meat can nourish the heart and spleen, nourish the blood and calm the mind; Red dates nourish the middle and qi, nourish the blood and calm the mind; Schisandra chinensis can calm the mind, nourish qi and produce fluids. The combination of the three can gently nourish the heart and blood, strengthen the spleen and calm the mind. Knocking the Bridge Bow Before Bedtime: For those who suffer from "liver yang hyperactivity" (manifested as insomnia, dizziness, and blood pressure fluctuations) caused by research pressure, they can practice "knocking the Bridge Bow" before bedtime to lower blood pressure and aid sleep. The Qiaogong acupoint is located on both sides of the neck of the human body, along the anterior line of the sternocleidomastoid muscle from the mastoid process behind the ear (high bone behind the ear) to the supraclavicular fossa. When practicing "knocking the bridge bow", sit or lie down and gently and slowly press one side of the bridge arch hole from top to bottom (behind the ear to the collarbone) with the belly of the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and ring finger for 1 to 2 minutes, then switch to the other side. The technique must be gentle and avoid performing on both sides simultaneously. This technique can effectively calm the liver, dispel wind, lower blood pressure, and calm the mind. Modern research has also confirmed that gentle stimulation of this area can regulate blood pressure and heart rate through neural reflexes, and relieve tension. Performing this operation before bedtime can help ignite the fire, promote mental peace, and improve the quality of sleep. (New Society)
