[Feng Fu – The Ice Healing Therapy]

Feng Fu or Wind Mansion is the name of just one of the 400 pressure points in our bodies.

Feng Fu is located at the base of the skull which is just below the bottom ridge of the skull cap at the top of the neck.

This vital area contains our brain stem, spinal column, muscles and tendons that support our heavy brains, as well as our major arteries and windpipe.

According to acupuncture, Feng Fu is also a Window of the Sky Point. This means that it is a crucial communication point between the mind and the rest of the body.

Any issues with the extremities of the body could be related to a restriction in this center.

The name Feng Fu translates to ‘Wind Mansion’ in English. In acupuncture theory, a ‘pathogenic wind’ is responsible for certain symptoms.

The Feng Fu point is where the practitioner will apply tiny acupuncture needles to relieve the cause of the problem.

Why do you Ice?

When tissues are inflamed by injury, illness or environmental factors, they swell and put pressure on the surrounding area.

Like a puffer fish that inflates itself in defense when attacked by a predator, our tissues are inflating with blood to fight off disease.

Inflammation is our body’s way of mobilizing the immune system to fight illness.

Blood rushes to damaged internal tissues so that white blood cells can get to work healing our bodies.

But inflammation is also painful when tissues become red, hot and swollen.

Applying cold to the area of the inflammation reduces the swelling and helps relieve the pressure on surrounding tissue.

Ice is a cheap, drug-free way of treating the pain associated with inflammation.

Get ready to open your freezer and crack your ice cube trays. Ice therapy is a simple self-help treatment that you can do at home to ease many different aches and pains.

Putting ice on a specific point on your head won’t cure what ails you, but it could make you feel a whole lot better in just a short amount of time, and without the doctor’s office.

Method & Result:

Icing the base of your head is all about relieving pain. The length of time needed to see relief from symptoms can vary, but start by trying ice for 10 minutes.

After the initial 10 minute trial, check your symptoms to see if you have noticed any decrease in pain. Try varying the amount of time, up to 20 minutes.

To avoid dripping ice water down your neck and back, try putting ice in a freezer bag and wrap a thin washcloth or clean rag around the bag.

Applying ice directly to the skin can cause frostbite, so always use a cloth between your skin and the ice.

Treatment for frostbite is similar to treatment from burns. Ice applied directly to the skin can cause blisters and skin damage that, when severe, can require surgery. Never ice any injury for more than 20 minutes at a time.

According to acupuncture theory, icing the Feng Fu point on your head may also help with mental health concerns such as fear, suicidal thoughts or manic behavior.

If you regularly put an ice cube on this place, your body will rejuvenate, many diseases will disappear, and you will be healthier, more enthusiastic and full of energy.

These are some of the things it can do:

1. Improve your quality of sleep.
2. Improve your mood.
3. Heal your digestive system.
4. Help relieve colds.
5. Help relieve headaches, toothaches and pain.
6. Aids in healing respiratory diseases and cardiovascular disease.
7. Helps with thyroid issues.
8. Helps PMS.
9. Aids mental health.

It is impossible to catch a cold or flu if you practice this procedure. Due to coldness you will have uncomfortable feeling in the beginning.

However, you will feel rush of heat on the point after a few seconds.

You may also have feelings of euphoria in the first couple of times you practice this method due to release of endorphin in your bloodstream.

The method does not cure, but returns the man in his physical balanced norm, rejuvenates the body and gives a strong impulse of life.

Special Note:

This method should be avoided if you are pregnant or you suffer from schizophrenia or have a pacemaker.
