There are 4 manifestations of meridian blockage! I don't want my body to become more and more weak, so I have to do 9 actions to open up the meridians~
Meridians are the channels that run qi and blood in the human body, connect the internal organs, the body surface and all parts of the body, and are the regulatory system of human body functions, which are closely related to health.
The meridians are used for communication, and the meridians are unobstructed, so that the viscera tissues can be nourished, the muscles and bones can be moistened, and the joints can be smoothed.
"Lingshu Meridians" said: "The meridians, so they can decide life and death, deal with all kinds of diseases, and adjust the virtual and the real, which is indispensable." ”
4 symptoms indicate blockage of the meridians It has been clinically found that people with blocked meridians often have the following four symptoms in their lives.
01 pain When pain occurs in any part of the body, it may be related to the blockage of nearby or related meridians.
Due to the different cold, heat, deficiency and reality of the patient's constitution, the symptoms of pain will also be different, such as cold pain, burning pain, swelling pain, soreness, numbness, etc.
02 Dysfunction The function of the viscera mainly depends on the promotion of qi and blood to achieve, once the meridians are blocked, the supply of qi and blood is not enough, it will cause the decline and disorder of the function of the viscera.
For example, stroke aphasia or hemiplegia in middle-aged and elderly people, and others such as dazzling, gray hair, tinnitus, deafness, etc., are essentially related to poor blood flow in old age, blood stasis blockage, and loss of viscera nutrition.
03 local mass In the place where the meridians are blocked, the channels for the discharge of human metabolites are blocked, so the exit will be blocked, forming various lumps, cysts, rashes, acne, joint effusions, etc.
04 Depressed mood In addition to the objective physical discomfort symptoms, the meridian blockage can often be manifested as emotional depression, sulking, sadness, anxiety, irritability, etc.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called liver qi stagnation, and the pathogenesis is caused by the blockage of the liver meridian qi, which is usually accompanied by symptoms such as pain in the two flanks and qi suffocation.
9 actions to dredge the meridians There are many ways to treat the meridians in traditional Chinese medicine, such as internal administration, external treatment, food and nourishment, and exercises.
But for healthy people, it is more important to pay attention to daily health care and prevent meridian blockages -
01 Comb your hair often As the saying goes: "If you comb your hair a thousand times, your head is not white", combing your hair regularly can not only improve scalp blood circulation, dredge menstrual qi, regulate blood vessels, but also relieve fatigue, improve nerve function, and help sleep.
02 Iron both eyes Both eyes are responsible for a very heavy task of seeing every day, the so-called "essence is focused on the eyes", there are many visceral meridians around the eyes, if they are tired, people can easily feel tired.
Usually, we can do more ironing actions, that is, first rub the two hands against each other, and use the palms to heat the eyes.
After rubbing and ironing several times, rotate the eyeballs to the left and right (eye movements) 100 times each.
The warmth of the palm, coupled with the rotation and stretching of the eyeball, will speed up the metabolism of the eye, sufficient qi and blood, and improve vision, but be careful not to press the eyeball vigorously to prevent eye injury.
03 shrugged The neck is the "traffic artery" of the human body, and the five important meridians of the Du Pulse, Bladder Meridian, Small Intestine Meridian, Bile Meridian and Sanjiao Meridian all pass through the back of the neck.
In order to protect the health of the cervical spine, we can often do a shrug motion.
Keep your head straight, keep your chest and neck straight, your arms perpendicular to your sides, and then lift your shoulders upwards as much as possible at the same time (shrug rather than shrink your neck) to make your neck and shoulders feel sore.
After shrugging your shoulders, stop for about 1 second, and then sink your shoulders hard.
One shrug and one sink is 1 time, and 16 times is 1 set. Insist on doing 3~5 sets when you go to work every day. The cumulative total number of times per day should strive to reach 100~120 times.
This small action is not limited by place or time, whether it is in the office or at home.
04 Shake your shoulders As a young man, many middle-aged and elderly people are plagued by diseases such as frozen shoulder, but in fact, only by rotating frequently, the shoulder joint will not be stiff.
Usually, you can often do the action of shaking a fan, it is also a fitness exercise, which requires the coordination of fingers, wrists and local joint muscles to complete.
We fan the fan up and down, left and right, which is the exercise of the upper limb joint muscles, which can promote the blood circulation of the muscles, enhance the muscle strength and the flexibility of the coordination and coordination of the joints.
05 turns of the wrist The long-term posture of the hand is easy to accumulate and become a disease, and symptoms such as numbness, burning pain, wrist joint swelling, inflexibility, and weakness occur in the hand.
In addition to working and playing on the computer, consciously doing the action of rotating the wrist joint is a simple and effective way to relieve it.
06 often enlarge the chest The health chest pays attention to "expansion", with both hands clenched into fists, straight arms closed in front of the chest, and then opened to the sides.
During the whole process, the arm should not be bent, so that the whole chest cavity opens and closes 20~30 times, so that the entire ribcage opens and closes.
In this way, it can not only stimulate the Jizhong acupoint, but also stimulate the Ren pulse, indirectly regulate the yin meridians such as the spleen meridian and pericardial meridian of the human body, and alleviate fatigue and weakness.
07 twist the waist Incorrect sitting posture or sedentary motion can easily lead to lumbar muscle strain and low back pain, in order to avoid such problems, we can usually do more waist movements.
The method is very simple, keep your legs slightly wider than your shoulders, stand upright and relax, fold your hands on your hips, and breathe evenly.

Turn the hip 1 time for 1 time, you can do 15~30 times as appropriate, and then do the same action in the opposite direction.
08 hook hook pin In autumn, due to the cooler weather in the morning and evening, the yang qi gradually declines, the yin qi gradually flourishes, and the cold qi stays in the joints, resulting in qi stagnation and blood stasis, which often causes knee joint pain.
Many exercises that work the muscles around the knee joint are not suitable for the elderly, but there is one of the most convenient and simple "hook feet" exercises suitable for all ages.
That is, sit on a chair, hang your legs flat in the air, and hook your toes up as much as possible, and then step down for 3~5 seconds.
This movement focuses on the muscles of the front of the thighs. The muscles on the front of the thigh are developed, and the knee joint will be less compressed and worn when walking.
