The neck acts as a gateway for external pathogens like wind and cold, and houses critical structures such as the thyroid, lymph nodes, esophagus, trachea, and spine. Its health directly impacts endocrine function, blood circulation, and nerve function, making it a vital indicator of overall health and longevity.
A neck that is not thick, has smooth skin without excessive wrinkles or pigmentation, and is flexible and soft indicates a longer lifespan. A neck circumference below 38 cm for men and 35 cm for women reduces cardiovascular risks.
Research involving over 3000 individuals found that thicker necks are associated with higher risks of cardiovascular diseases and thyroid nodules. Excess metabolic waste and phlegm can accumulate in the neck area, leading to these health issues.
Maintaining neck health can be achieved through moxibustion at the Tian Tu acupoint to regulate thyroid nodules and reduce phlegm, arm scraping to detoxify lymph nodes, and performing neck exercises like turning the head left and right and resisting with hands to enhance flexibility and reduce stiffness.
The Tian Tu acupoint, located below the throat, is crucial for clearing the throat and regulating thyroid nodules. Moxibustion at this point helps in expelling phlegm and alleviating cough symptoms, contributing to overall neck health.
