The ancients have long understood this truth. Neijing said: "Those who live in the meridians decide life and death, cure all diseases and adjust the deficiency and excess." Therefore, the treatment of diseases in traditional Chinese medicine, whether acupuncture or decoction, is based on the patency of human meridians and the patency of qi circulation. The so-called "it is most important to treat qi with acupuncture"; Moxibustion warms meridians to eliminate evil; The patient's original intention is to regulate blood circulation and dispel wind and arthralgia; Decoction conditioning, it is better to enter the classics.

What are the benefits of dredging meridians _ How to dredge meridians
Methods of dredging meridians
1, open the meridians.
Beating along the meridian can make the meridians and qi and blood smooth and play a role in preventing and treating various diseases, which is also the profound experience of Jin Lao's many years of medical practice. In fact, acupuncture drugs also mean this, but they are only aimed at the serious obstruction of meridians. Flapping should follow the order of meridians, so that the qi of meridians can be connected smoothly. We can take four beats and eight beats as the rhythm, and we should beat it gently and firmly with moderate strength. The specific method is as follows:
Beat the Yin San and Sanyang meridians of the hand with the rhythm of eight beats (four beats), and beat the right hand from the front of the left chest to the inside of the arm in the direction of palm fingers, and then turn it over and beat it from the outside of the finger to the outside of the shoulder arm. Repeat this twice. Then beat your right arm with your left hand in the same way and in the same rhythm. In this way, the hand, the three yin hands and the three yang meridians are fully tapped. The meridians of the three yin hands and three yang hands include lung, pericardium, heart, large intestine, small intestine and triple energizer viscera. Such beating can dredge collaterals, tonify heart yin, tonify chest yang, disperse lung and eliminate phlegm, increase vital capacity, promote intestinal peristalsis, relax bowels, regulate qi and relieve bloating, and reach triple energizer.
Beat the meridians of foot three yin and foot three yang with the rhythm of eight beats (four beats), and beat the abdomen with both hands from the inside of legs and ankles along the inside of legs; Then slap your hands down along the sacroiliac joint from the outside of your leg to the outside of your ankle, and then put one leg on a stool or step on a step with a moderate height, with your right hand patting the front of your left leg and your left hand patting the back of your left leg. Pat twice like this, and then pat your right leg in the same way and at the same rhythm. In this way, the three Yin San Yang meridians of the foot are fully tapped. The meridians of foot three yin and foot three yang include spleen, liver, kidney, bladder, gallbladder and stomach, so slapping can strengthen spleen and promote diuresis, soothe liver and gallbladder, regulate stomach and relieve depression, nourish kidney and yin, induce diuresis and enhance qi protection.
Beat the acupoints on the back of Ren Du Er mai and bladder meridian with the rhythm of eight beats (four beats), and slowly beat the lumbosacral region, that is, coccyx, from the Dazhui along the spine with one hand, then beat the lower abdomen up through the chest to the throat, and then beat the viscera of Ren Du Er mai and bladder meridian acupoints from top to bottom along both sides of the spine with both hands. This can regulate the functions of twelve zang-fu organs, help Yang Qi ascend, dredge triple energizer, regulate yin and yang, and enhance immunity.
Eight pats (four pats) on the shoulder and neck, holding the right elbow with the left hand, patting Dazhui, neck and left shoulder and back with the right hand, and patting the neck, Dazhui and right shoulder and back with the left hand. The method is the same. Then put your hands on your hips, tuck in your abdomen, turn your waist clockwise for two eight beats, and then turn your waist counterclockwise for two eight beats, but the rotation range should not be too large. It can promote qi and blood circulation of shoulder, neck and waist, and help to prevent and treat scapulohumeral periarthritis and cervical spondylosis.
Flap your knee straight, bend over, step on the steps with moderate height, pat the back of your left knee with your left hand, pat the front of your left knee with your right hand, then pat the outside of your left knee with your left hand and the inside of your left knee with your right hand. Then pat the right knee in the same way. This is beneficial to the circulation of qi and blood in both knees and prevents or delays degenerative joint diseases in the elderly.
In view of the once popular health care method of beating the gallbladder meridian, Jin Lao emphasized that beating the gallbladder meridian is of course important, but it is only one of the 14 meridians, and other meridians should also be played, so it cannot be generalized. If you persist for a period of time, you will feel the opening of meridians and the smoothness of qi and blood, but you will feel refreshed and feel comfortable, and you can also prevent and treat diseases. The action is simple, it only takes five minutes at a time, but it is very effective.
2. Warm-up is the most effective way to dredge meridians.
When the body is cold and wet, it is like facing a land frozen by cold. Massage and acupuncture can't solve the fundamental problem. Only when the "earth" warms, the rivers thaw and the land thaws, the rivers will be unobstructed and the land will be soft and breathable. So is our body. As long as the body is cold and wet, all the pipes in the body will shrink because of the cold, and the muscles and tissues in the body will harden when they are cold. At this time, acupuncture, massage, massage and other treatment methods have little effect on the treatment of various diseases, only temporary relief, and the recurrence rate is very high. In this case, we must learn the skills of warming up and expelling cold and dampness at the same time, so that the body is completely frozen and all kinds of pipes are naturally unblocked.
3, mint tea tastes sparse
Take 15g dried mint leaves and 3g green tea and pour them into boiling water 1500ml. Soak them and cool them a little, then filter out the residue and add a little rock sugar, or wash the fresh mint leaves, put them in a cup and pour them directly into boiling water. Mint, spearmint and apple mint are used to make tea. They are bitter and pungent, and have the effect of invigorating stomach and dredging collaterals, but mint is cool and difficult to take for a long time.
4, the old loofah guides the meridians
1 piece of old loofah, chop and fry until slightly yellow, grind into fine powder, each time 10g, and take with hot water. Old loofah has tendons, which are similar to human meridians. Use the old loofah qi to guide the meridians of the human body, so that the qi and blood are smooth.
5, drug hot compress
External application of ointment can also play a role in dredging meridians, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation. For example, Zhuifengzhuanggu ointment has the effects of chasing wind and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, and can be used for symptoms such as arthralgia due to wind-cold-dampness, shoulder and back pain, backache, leg weakness, muscle and vein contracture, meridian obstruction, numbness of limbs, and joint pain and weakness. When in use, the affected part is washed with ginger, heated and softened, and pasted on the affected part. Hot compress is helpful to promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals.
