Li Finland (registered Chinese medicine practitioner and acupuncturist of Ontario Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist Administration, Canada) slaps the gallbladder meridian hard before the toxin can be discharged. Myth: Can tapping the gallbladder meridian cure sciatica? Dr. Li analyzed that tapping the gallbladder meridian can relieve sciatica caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, but not all sciatica is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis, so tapping the gallbladder meridian is not suitable for deficiency syndrome. Because of excessive diarrhea, the body is weaker, which may cause numbness of gallbladder on both sides of thigh, weakness of thigh and inability to walk. As mentioned above, lymph nodes are mainly distributed between subcutaneous and internal organs, especially in the neck, armpit and groin. In the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine, these lymph nodes are particularly dense, which is the path of gallbladder meridian and liver meridian. I have cured several patients with chronic skin diseases. Because of taking steroids for a long time, the lymph nodes in the neck, armpit and groin are swollen, forming large lumps. Western medicine suspects lymphoma. In the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, only acupuncture and moxibustion are needed to dredge the gallbladder and liver meridians, and lymph nodes can be shrunk or disappeared in just a few weeks. In recent years, the benefits of beating the gallbladder meridian can be seen everywhere on TV programs or on the Internet in Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and China. These benefits include expelling toxins, slimming or thinning thighs, treating sciatica, treating arthritis and so on. And stressed that slapping should be hard, not only to shoot numbness, but also to shoot consumption. If there is purple consumption, it means that blood stasis has been taken and toxins are discharged.

And stressed that slapping should be hard, not only to shoot numbness, but also to shoot consumption. If there is purple consumption, it means that blood stasis has been taken and toxins are discharged. Is that really the case? I have a patient who felt very relaxed that day because he took a picture of purple tuberculosis on the gallbladder meridian. After a few days, he felt numb in his thigh and could not walk, so he came to seek acupuncture treatment. I asked the patient why there was blood everywhere on the outside of the racket leg. The patient's eyes were wide open and he asked me with a puzzled face, "Isn't this purple tuberculosis?" ? "I asked her," have you ever heard someone clap their legs so hard, but they can't shoot the blood vessels bursting and bleeding, showing purple? Beating is a kind of "cleaning". Beating the gallbladder meridian should be used to relieve the qi stagnation and blood stasis of the gallbladder meridian and the liver meridian or to purge the fire of the liver and gallbladder, and this fire should be a real fire, not a virtual fire. The so-called fire in traditional Chinese medicine can be divided into virtual fire and real fire, because the lack of water and liquid in the body can not suppress the normal fire in the body, which leads to excessive fire and consumes the water and liquid in the body, resulting in a vicious circle. This kind of fire is called "virtual fire" Qi stagnation and blood stasis, based on the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, belongs to empirical research. Sciatic neuralgia is pain caused by inflammation of sciatic nerve. Sciatic nerve originates from spinal cord and consists of lumbar nerve and sacral nerve. When the sciatic nerve is compressed by the intervertebral cartilage protruding from the spine, it will become inflamed and cause sciatica. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, stasis itself can hinder the operation of qi and blood, and if it doesn't work, it will hurt, and the obstruction of gallbladder channels may cause sciatica; Therefore, tapping the gallbladder meridian can relieve sciatica caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. But not all sciatica is caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. Kidney yang deficiency can also lead to sciatica. Chinese medicine believes that "the kidney governs the bone", and the compression of bone lesions to the sciatic nerve will cause sciatica; Sciatica caused by liver blood deficiency's failure to nourish blood in limbs usually occurs on the left side, because liver qi runs on the left side. In other words, deficiency syndrome is not suitable for beating the gallbladder meridian hard; Because excessive diarrhea makes the body weak, it may cause numbness of bile channels on both sides of the thigh, weakness of the thigh and inability to walk. In particular, "gallbladder" is different from other viscera such as large intestine and small intestine in Chinese medicine theory. According to the basic theory of "gallbladder is strange and constant fu-organs" in traditional Chinese medicine, bile should not be collected too much. If tapping the gallbladder meridian is to help detoxify the liver and gallbladder, there is no need to beat it hard from the perspective of physiological anatomy of western medicine or the theory of Chinese medicine, because lymph nodes are mainly distributed under the skin, just gently pushing the gallbladder meridian from the foot to the heart can promote lymphatic circulation and accelerate lymphatic detoxification; The same is true for daring to lose weight or thin thighs. As mentioned above, if excess tissue fluid stays in the body tissue, it will cause edema; Not only the thighs and calves look thick, but also the arms. Lymphedema may also occur around the arms, cheeks and eyes, but the most familiar range of hitting the gallbladder meridian may be limited to the Shi Feng point outside the leg. In fact, the gallbladder meridian is also a corner of the eye. If you can slim down or detoxify just by tapping the Shi Feng point on the gallbladder meridian on both sides of your thigh, what do you need to do with the other 43 points on the gallbladder meridian? Follow-up content combined with acupuncture meridian theory and western lymphatic drainage to introduce lymphatic detoxification more completely. The best exercise to promote lymphatic circulation is swimming, which is a whole-body exercise. It can enhance the expansion and contraction of skeletal muscle, promote lymphatic circulation, and reduce the pressure on the spine and joints during exercise, thus minimizing sports injuries. Especially for people who are overweight and suffering from obesity, arthritis, sciatica or osteoporosis, due to the buoyancy of water, the bearing capacity of joints can be reduced, and the oppression and damage to joints during exercise can be reduced; Therefore, swimming is safe, sports injury is minimal, and it is the most suitable exercise to promote lymphatic circulation. Lymphatic bouncing exercise Lymphatic bouncing exercise is also a very effective exercise to promote lymphatic circulation. Skipping rope, jumping exercise and trampoline can all promote lymphatic circulation. In particular, mini trampoline can not only be used for rehabilitation after fracture healing, but also improve bone density, cardiopulmonary function and lymphatic circulation.
