Chapter Eighty-one: Pressing Acupoints Can Relieve Headaches

  The cow grunted and said, "You're pretty accurate, I'm indeed having a headache!" As he spoke, he used his hands to press his head, both hands randomly pressing without any method, just a mess of random presses.

  "Wang Ping'an hastily said: 'Ah, Grandfather Gugu, your head hurts again? Let me help you press it!' He got up and walked to the back of Niu Bula, ready to press his head."

  The old cowherd hastily said to the wife, "This nephew of yours is quite sensible. He's a bookworm and should focus on studying hard, taking the imperial exams, and earning honors. How can he stay here with this old good-for-nothing? Take him to the study and give him more paper for writing!"

  Madam Niu hastily put on a smiling face and said, "Ah-yeh, the child is showing respect to you. He's new here and Master has been treating him poorly, he's just afraid of being looked down upon by others! Ah-yeh, just let him serve you well, and when others see how kind you are to him, they won't dare bully him anymore!"

  Mrs. Niu's tone was tinged with a pleading note, as if she were deeply concerned about this distant nephew from her husband's side of the family.

  The cow thought for a moment and nodded, then turned to Wang Ping'an and said: "Good boy, you can give your uncle a massage now. However, you must prioritize your studies. If you don't study, you won't amount to anything. Remember that!"

  "Son carefully follows Grandpa's teachings!" Wang Ping'an replied softly, and helped Niu Bula to get up. As soon as he moved his hands, the difference between his pressing and Niu Bula's random pressing was huge!

  Wang Pingan first pressed the Baihui acupoint on the top of the cow's head with moderate force. He had already made a preliminary diagnosis that the cow was suffering from high blood pressure, although it remained to be further diagnosed which type of high blood pressure it was. However, for the headache caused by high blood pressure, he could directly perform acupressure massage.

  Baihui acupoint is located at the top of the head, where the midline of the head and the line connecting the two ear tips intersect. It has a good therapeutic effect on dizziness or headache caused by high blood pressure. However, when pressing Baihui acupoint, one should not use too much force, as excessive force can worsen the headache.

  "Ah, comfortable!" The cow closed its eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the child's technique was better than its own. It had used both hands to press for a good while, but it wasn't as comfortable as when the child pressed just a few times.

  Niu's wife watched from the side, feeling delighted in her heart. It seems that this nephew was not recognized in vain. He really has some skills. Grandfather actually said it felt comfortable. How long hasn't he said such words?

  Wang Pingan pressed the Baihui point for a moment and asked: "Grandma, how do you feel?"

  "Niu Bu La Dao: 'Hmmm, it's quite good, my head doesn't hurt that much anymore. It's great, it's great!' He kept saying it was great, and his facial expression also showed great satisfaction. He had been tormented by headaches for a long time, but suddenly felt comfortable today, so his mood was naturally very good."

  Leaving the Baihui acupoint, Wang Ping'an used his hand to press the Tianzhu acupoint on the cow that refused to pull. The Tianzhu acupoint is located at the depression just below the occipital bone at the back of the head, which is also a protruding muscle at the neck, and the depression outside this muscle. This time, when pressing it, Wang Ping'an didn't use gentle force; instead, he gradually increased his strength with his fingers.

  He pressed like this, and suddenly heard Niu Bula shouting from his mouth: "Ah, ah, ah......" Every time Wang Ping'an pressed it, he would let out a soft cry.

  Madam Niu wiped the sweat from her forehead and thought to herself: "It seems that Master is very comfortable, I'll ask him to give me a massage tonight when I return to my room."

  After pressing for about a hundred times, Wang Ping'an said in a low voice: "Grandfather, don't you feel a little sore?"

  The cow didn't moo, nor did it speak. It felt very comfortable, even if it was a bit sore. Wang Ping'an heard the cow's hum and released the Tianzhu acupoint, then pressed its Renying acupoint. The Renying acupoint is located on the neck, beside the Adam's apple, at the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, where the common carotid artery pulsates.

  When it comes to Renying (人迎) acupoint, modern people should not be unfamiliar with it. Of course, being unfamiliar is not about knowing this acupoint, but rather seeing it frequently in movies and TV dramas. For example, in martial arts films, heroes often defeat their enemies by poking a certain point on the enemy's neck, releasing their inner energy, causing the enemy to become motionless or directly faint! Of course, sometimes the actors' positions are not accurate enough, but roughly speaking, that's the idea - they're pointing at Renying acupoint.

  Renying point belongs to the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. After being punctured, it can cause qi stagnation and blood stasis, dizziness, but it can also treat diseases, including hypertension.

  Wang Ping'an continued to press with the same force that made Niu Bu La feel sore, pressing the same number of times as he had pressed Tian Zhu hole. After a short while, he asked again: "Grandpa, how do you feel?"

  The cow let out a breath and said slowly: "Just one word, comfortable!"

  Mrs. Niu smiled, this should be two words! However, Wang Ping'an was able to make Niu Bu say such a thing, it seems that he indeed has some skills, and his confidence in him also increased greatly!

  King Ping An then went to press the Tian Ding hole, the Tian Ding hole is located on the outer side of the neck, behind the posterior edge of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, next to the Adam's apple. This acupoint is actually similar to the Yongquan acupoint, both are special effect points for blood circulation, as long as it is lightly stimulated, it will accelerate blood flow and lower blood pressure. The amount of force used and the number of presses are the same as the previous two acupoints.

  After pressing for a while longer, Wang Ping'an stopped and turned to the front, smiling and asking: "Grandfather, how do you feel now? Is your head still hurting?"

  The cow rubbed its head with its hoof, let out a "heh" sound, and said: "It doesn't hurt anymore, I feel like my mind has cleared up a lot. Good kid, I didn't think you'd know how to massage heads too, looks like reading books is really useful after all, once you've read enough, you'll be able to do anything!"

  Madam Niu was overjoyed. When Niu Zhenghong had just brought Wang Ping'an, she still had some doubts. Such a young boy, what could he do? So many famous doctors in the city couldn't cure the illness, how could he? But now, she didn't have any doubts at all. It seemed that it was indeed true that heroes emerge in their youth. What a pity that he was born in our Great Tang Dynasty; if he had been born a few hundred years earlier, in the Han Dynasty, wouldn't he and Sun Yu'er have made a perfect pair?

  Madam Niu smiled and said, "As long as Grandpa is comfortable, that's all that matters. Otherwise, you should take a nap first. Your daughter-in-law has been bothering you all day today, so just rest for a while and recharge your energy!"

  The cow nodded and said, "Then let's take a nap for a while. Today was messed up by that little brat Zheng Hong!" After speaking, he let out a comfortable sigh and lay down on the bed!

  Madam Niu was delighted in her heart, usually when mentioning her husband, Ah Ye would not have a good temper, but now he didn't scold Little Rabbit again, it's really strange, and his temper actually improved after pressing his head!

  She waved her hand, and the servants and maidservants immediately went out quietly. She also gave Wang Ping'an a wink, and Wang Ping'an understood, and the two of them were about to leave the small building. Before they reached the door, they suddenly heard Niu Bulao say: "Good child, wait for Grandpa to have dinner with you!"

  "Wang Ping'an hastily turned back and said: 'Alright, I'll come see Grandpa again in a while.'"

  Out of the small building, Mrs. Niu smiled and said: "Ping'an, my good nephew, our old master has always disliked eating with others, even Master and I usually can't accompany him, unexpectedly you came today and he likes you so much, it's rare, really rare!"

  Wang Ping'an also smiled and said: "Thank you for your mistaken love, Uncle!"

  "That's right, love! What's wrong with love?" Mrs. Niu was delighted and asked, "Then have you diagnosed what disease Grandfather has? Is it serious?"

  Wang Pingan thought for a moment and said: "It's still impossible to make a definitive diagnosis, at least a full-body examination is needed, but this is quite difficult!"

  Madam Niu nodded and suddenly said, "Otherwise, I'll trouble you to scrub his back when Master washes up tonight!" After a pause, she added, "He's at such an advanced age, and he's your elder, so it's not too much for you to take care of him. Auntie doesn't mean anything else by this, don't misunderstand!

  Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "This is what a junior in the family should do, how can there be any misunderstanding?"

  He can initially diagnose that the cow's illness is high blood pressure, which in itself is not terrible, but what's terrible is that it will lead to many other diseases. It's not difficult to treat this disease, taking some medicine can lower blood pressure, but what's difficult is how to maintain it and avoid relapse!

  From a long-term health perspective, one should treat the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
