These three meridians, patted every day, are comfortable from head to toe!
The meridians of the human body are the channels for the flow of qi and blood in the human body, which belong to the internal organs and are distributed throughout the body, connecting various tissues and organs into an organic whole. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the meridians in the human body are like a criss-crossing transportation network, connecting the major organs and communicating qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that all diseases originate from meridian blockage. There are three very important meridians in us, knock every day to help you resist the invasion of disease from head to toe!
1. Pericardial meridian: protect the heart
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the pericardium is the guardian of the heart and can "ward off evil for the Lord", and all cardiovascular problems should be solved from the pericardial meridian. The direction of the pericardial meridian is from the heart, through the armpits, along the midline of the inner side of the arm to the fingertips, on the way there are Tianchi, Jiquan, Neiguan, Laogong and other acupuncture points. The Jiquan acupoint, located at the apex of the armpit, and the Neiguan acupoint on the inside of the wrist are both cardiac emergency acupoints. When angina pectoris or myocardial infarction occurs, plucking the Jiquan acupoint has the effect of increasing the blood supply to the heart; Pat and rub the Neiguan acupoint, which can also play a role in protecting the heart.
The Neiguan acupoint is an important space on the pericardial meridian.

Method: Use one hand along the path of the contralateral pericardial meridian, press and knead along the way from the tip of the middle finger, and press and knead the key points such as Neiguan and Jiquan. If you find it more troublesome to press and rub, you can also get the same effect by tapping along the pericardium.

Therefore, the diseases of the head and face are "closely related" to this meridian. The "Meridians" records that "those who are sick from the main fluid of the Yang Ming veins of the large intestine hand", such as yellow eyes, dry mouth, scabness, throat paralysis, etc., and believes that it is a meridian with strong qi and blood, which can help the human body strengthen yang qi or remove excess fire.
