Understanding the body’s meridians is crucial for health, acting as bridges between internal organs. Their smoothness directly affects our health. So, how can we determine if our meridians are unobstructed? Here are some common symptoms of meridian blockages and ways to address them.
Symptoms of meridian blockages:
– Pain is a primary indicator; any pain in a specific area may indicate a possible meridian blockage. – Skin issues such as acne, pigmentation, or boils. – Formation of internal cysts or lumps. – Discomfort in the respiratory and digestive systems like nasal congestion, tinnitus, bad breath, bloating, and abdominal distension. – Changes in the eyes like cloudy whites, yellowness, or appearance of blood vessels. – Varicose veins like visible veins in the hands and feet. – Swelling and joint effusion. – Certain long-term inflammations that are hard to cure, such as gastritis, enteritis, are also related to meridian blockages.
Methods to promote meridian flow:
– Patting therapy: Use wooden hammers, pats, or hands to rhythmically pat specific areas, beneficial for health. For example, patting the stomach meridian can alleviate gastrointestinal issues; the spleen meridian aids digestion; the pericardium meridian helps cardiovascular health; the lung meridian benefits the respiratory system; the large intestine meridian relates to respiratory and facial diseases; the kidney and bladder meridians affect the urinary and respiratory systems respectively.
– Daily tips: – Scalp massage: Use fingers or a comb to massage from the forehead to the neck, stimulating acupoints on the head, promoting blood circulation. – Lotus sitting position: Stretch ligaments by changing leg positions, maintaining meridian flexibility. – Gentle ear massage: Massage the earlobes to enhance kidney function, promote overall acupoint flow. – Peppermint tea: Drink mint leaf with green tea to clear heat and toxins, unblock meridians, but be cautious of mint’s cooling nature, avoid excessive consumption.
If you notice any of the above symptoms of meridian blockages, consider trying the mentioned methods to facilitate the body’s self-regulation and recovery. Remember, maintaining good lifestyle habits is also crucial for ensuring smooth meridians. Share with friends who might benefit and focus on good health together.
