One of the most sensitive areas in the human body is the solar plexus. Where it is located, everyone should know to try to protect him from injury if possible.
There is one very sensitive area in the human body called the solar plexus. A large number of nerve endings, as well as their nodes, are concentrated in it. Often people can feel incomprehensible pain in this area, but they cannot say for sure what is bothering them. To understand what pain can be dangerous, you need to understand what the solar plexus is, where it is, and also what is its significance in the human body.
What is included in the solar plexus
The solar plexus is also called the celiac. This area of the body includes several large nerve nodes, as well as numerous nerves that connect them. The solar plexus consists of two celiac nodes lying to the left and to the right of the celiac trunk, having a lunar shape. There are also two aortic kidney nodes located between the left and right renal arteries. And the third node in the composition is the mesenteric, superior unpaired node.
Where is the solar plexus
The solar plexus is located in the upper region of the stomach, more precisely between the end of the chest and the beginning of the abdominal cavity.
The celiac plexus is located behind the stomach, in the epigastric region, on one and the second side of the spinal column. Many people describe the location of this area "between the ribs under the chest." So it’s much easier to understand the concentration zone of the solar plexus.
The role of the solar plexus
Celiac plexus plays a very large role in the human body, many even underestimate the significance of this nerve zone. It is able to control the main internal organs, emotions and other important functions of the body. The solar plexus in humans is one of the many vital centers of the body.
Causes of pain in the central nervous zone
Pain in the celiac plexus warns that problems occur in the body. Such pain cannot be ignored.
Pain can occur differently:
- pulling;
- crushing;
- cutting;
- stitching.
Pain characterizes the failure of an internal organ that occurs in the body.
The following conditions can cause pain:
- infection;
- inflammation of the digestive organs;
- heart failure.
Pressing pain most often indicates an ulcerative exacerbation of the digestive tract. Such diseases include gastric ulcer, esophagitis, reflux, duodenal ulcer. In addition to pain, a person can feel body weakness, he can be disturbed by vomiting, nausea, diarrhea.
If there is acute and severe pain in the area where the solar plexus is in a person, this may indicate diseases of the pancreas, for example, with pancreatitis. In this case, in addition to pain, the temperature rises, hurts in the side.
Acute stitching pains that occur in seizures and intensify after physical exertion can speak of a disease such as neuritis and neuralgia.
Pain can also haunt a person after a solar plexus injury. In this case, the pain can be both dull and aching, and acute, having a paroxysmal character. Anything can be the cause of the injuries, but this is mainly a kick during a fight, a ball during a sports game, as well as injuries when falling.
If the pain in this area lasts a long period and no measures are taken, tanning bed may develop, which is the most severe lesion of the solar plexus. The inflammatory process of the solar node may develop. Also, this disease is accompanied by pain in the heart, stomach, impaired appetite and general weakness of the body.
Blow to the solar plexus
A blow to the celiac plexus is considered one of the most serious injuries of a person. Injury can lead to loss of consciousness, respiratory arrest, or even death. One should be wary of hitting the solar plexus. Where this area is located, there is no bone protection. Weak protection is only thanks to the muscles, but even not every person has them so pumped up to carry out a protective action. A blow to this area of the human body can cause a rupture of the diaphragm or facilitate penetration of intestinal loops into the chest area.
From a stroke, a hernia may develop, requiring surgical removal. The rupture of the diaphragm can happen only with a penetrating strong blow, in the case of a less powerful blow, the diaphragm is reduced, which leads to shortness of breath or loss of consciousness.
Solar node chakra
Not only the physical, but also the spiritual role is played by the solar plexus. Where this zone is located, the main chakra of the spiritual world of man is located there. The solar plexus chakra is manipura. It is considered the main chakra for both the person himself and his body. It is believed that it contains all our strength of mind.
Manipura absorbs the stimulating and life-giving power of the sun, and also helps to establish an active connection of a person with another physical world. This chakra is associated with the development of the spiritual world of man.
Manipura also performs the function of purifying human desires, which are transmitted to other chakras of the lower rank. Other chakras contribute to the development of personal growth and spirituality of a person, using their creative energy.
Manipura is able to control the bulk of human consciousness. It forms a person’s attitude towards people around him. Love, trust, sympathy and antipathy - all this is formed by the main chakra of the body.
It should be remembered that the solar plexus is a rather fragile place in the human body, so you need to be careful with this area and for any pain in it for more than a few days, immediately consult a doctor, because the consequences of pain can be very unfavorable.
