(1) dredge meridians. Huangdi Neijing said: "The meridians are impassable; The disease is born in inhumanity and treated as * * * ",which shows that * * * has the function of dredging meridians. For example, pressing Zusanli and pushing spleen meridian can increase the secretion function of digestive juice. From the perspective of modern medicine, * * * mainly promotes the blood and lymph circulation and the metabolic process between tissues, so as to coordinate the functions between tissues and organs and improve the metabolic level of functions.

(2) reconcile qi and blood. Luo Hong, a health care practitioner in the Ming Dynasty, said in "Immortal Immortal Immortality": "The * * * method can clear the orifices and spin Wei Rong". Wei Rong here means to harmonize qi and blood. Because * * * is a soft and gentle force, it acts on the human body along the meridians and acupoints, and regulates the whole body through the conduction of the meridians, thus harmonizing the qi and blood of the camp guards and enhancing the health of the body. Modern medicine believes that the mechanical manipulation of massage can increase the temperature of local tissues, promote the expansion of capillaries, improve blood and lymphatic circulation, reduce blood viscosity, reduce peripheral vascular resistance and reduce the burden on the heart through the comprehensive effect of converting mechanical energy into heat energy, so it can prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.

(3) improve the body's immunity. Such as infantile dysentery, the symptoms are relieved or disappeared after massage; When the child has dry and wet rales in his lungs, press the small stripes. Palm stripes are effective. Someone did a health massage of the same age group in parallel with the control group. After massage, the incidence of children decreased, and their height, weight and appetite were higher than those of the control group. The above clinical practice and other animal experiments prove that massage has the functions of anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, improving immunity and enhancing human disease resistance.

It is precisely because * * * can dredge meridians. Make qi and blood flow around and keep the balance of yin and yang in the body, so you can feel relaxed muscles and flexible joints after * *, which makes people refreshed and eliminates fatigue, and plays an important role in ensuring good health.
