"On Ling Shu Hai" said: "Those who marry the twelve meridians belong to the internal organs and the external limbs." "Lingshu Ben Zang" said: "People are meridians, so those who are active in qi and blood must nourish yin and yang, bones and muscles and benefit joints." All these clearly illustrate the important role of meridians in human life activities.

The reason why people become one is that the meridians crisscross, entering and leaving the exterior, running through the upper and lower parts, connecting the internal organs and external muscles. If there is no such communication and connection between meridians, what do the tissues and organs of the human body depend on? The circulation of qi and blood in the human body is more expensive, which makes the viscera communicate with each other and the yin communicate with the outside. If qi and blood do not circulate, all kinds of connections between zang-fu organs will be hindered, and diseases will occur, which will lead to death in severe cases.

Meridian diseases

Secondly, look at "dealing with all diseases". What is said here is that the normal operation of qi in meridians plays an important role in the treatment and rehabilitation of diseases.

Yu, a great medical scientist, said, "If you don't know the viscera and meridians, it's wrong to open your mouth." "Lingshu Nine Needles and Twelve Skirts" said: "Dredge the meridians and regulate blood gas." All the above texts highly summarize that the treatment of diseases and the rehabilitation of sick bodies must start from the meridians.

As we all know, pain is one of the most common symptoms after people get sick.

Investigate its reason, Chinese medicine thinks it is "pain leads to impassability, and impassability leads to pain". When the meridians are unblocked, qi and blood can run; Only when qi and blood flow around can patients be treated and even recovered.

Meridian regulating deficiency and excess

Finally, talk about "adjusting the actual situation", that is, adjustment. Deficiency refers to symptoms, either deficiency or reality. People often generalize the nature of symptoms after illness by deficiency and excess.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "pathogenic factors are abundant and essence is insufficient". Empirical evidence refers to the symptoms that evil spirits are strong but healthy qi is not deficient, and the struggle between good and evil is fierce; Deficiency is a symptom of qi deficiency, hypofunction and low resistance.

"Soul Pivot Stabs the True Evil" says: "Purge its surplus and make up its deficiency." Real refers to excess, virtual refers to insufficient. For solid diseases, purgation method should be adopted, such as patients with gastric spasm, acupuncture at Zusanli point can relax the stomach; Deficiency should be supplemented, such as acupuncture at Zusanli point for patients with stomach weakness, which can strengthen their contractility. Of course, because of the difference between deficiency and reality, although they all acupuncture Zusanli point, the methods used are different, one is to use purging method and the other is to use reinforcing method. This example shows that meridians have the function of regulating excess and deficiency.

The function of meridians is not only to cure the diseases that have occurred, but more importantly, to cure the "not sick", that is, to maintain health. When your body is about to get sick or just got sick and has not attracted your attention, you can often reflect some initial symptoms from acupoints and meridians.

At this time, by stimulating the meridians, you can stimulate various self-regulation systems of the body, and after activation, you can restore balance.
