Nowadays, when many friends mention health, the first thing that comes to mind is "supplement".
However, when we are not in good health, the first priority is not to blindly replenish, but to dredge up first.
The so-called way of health preservation actually follows the principle of "one pass, two rows, three tones, and four supplements". First of all, it is necessary to dredge the meridians, then it is necessary to detoxify, and finally it is reasonable tonic.
As the channel for the flow of qi and blood in the human body, the meridians are the key link connecting the internal organs and the body surface, and even all parts of the body.
As the Soul Meridian says:
When the meridians are unimpeded, the viscera tissues can be nourished, the muscles and bones can be moistened, and the joints can be smoothed.
However, once the meridians are blocked and the flow of qi and blood is blocked, the normal operation of the human body will be affected, and the following four symptoms will generally occur:
1. Pain
As the saying goes, "if you don't hurt, if you don't hurt, if you don't get through", when pain occurs in a certain part of the body, it may be related to the blockage of that part or its related meridians.
Due to the different cold, heat, deficiency and reality of the individual's constitution, the symptoms of pain will also be different, and there may be a variety of conditions such as cold pain, burning pain, swelling pain, and soreness.
2. Asagi
Blocked meridians can also cause numbness in certain parts of the body. This is because qi and blood are unable to adequately nourish these areas, resulting in weakened nerve endings.
In particular, this numbness will be more pronounced.
3. Swelling
When the meridians are not smooth, the flow of qi and blood is blocked, which may lead to local or generalized swelling. The extent and extent of this swelling depends on the severity and extent of the blockage.
4. Dysfunction
The normal operation of viscera function is inseparable from the nourishment and promotion of qi and blood. Once the meridians are blocked, the supply of qi and blood cannot be made in time, and the function of the viscera may be impaired.
For example, stroke aphasia or hemiplegia in middle-aged and elderly people, as well as symptoms such as dizziness, dryness, tinnitus and deafness, are essentially related to poor flow of qi and blood, and blood stasis blockade leading to dystrophy of the viscera.
As the saying goes, health preservation should be done from the roots! Only by keeping the meridians unimpeded from the root can we enjoy health and longevity.
Today, Atractylodes will share with you some good ways to dredge the meridians, which are easy to learn and have remarkable results.
