There are many meridians in the human body, and we often hear about the Du Pulse, the Hepatobiliary Meridian, the Large Intestine Meridian, etc., among which there is a very important meridian: the bladder meridian.
The bladder meridian is the body's "detoxification" commander
In life, it is inevitable that some harmful substances will appear in our body, which we are used to calling "toxins".
Among these harmful substances, some are waste products of our own metabolism, which cannot be discharged in time and accumulate in the body and become toxic for a long time; Some are due to improper dietary intake, and harmful substances are absorbed into the blood to become poisonous.
Although these "toxins" may sound scary, in fact, our normal human body structure is fully capable of helping us get rid of these "toxins".
You must know that there are three major detoxification channels in the human body:
- The first is the passage through the ureters to drain the urine;
- the second is a passage through fecal excretion;
- The third is a pathway for the excretion of metabolic waste through sweating.
The bladder meridian is the master of the two channels of urine and sweat, and it is a well-deserved "detoxification commander", so the bladder meridian must not be blocked!
However, in life, there are still some people who get sick because they can't discharge harmful substances, and at this time, we need to work our body and activate our "detoxification" commander - the bladder meridian.
To open the bladder meridian is to open the body's disease prevention cover
The bladder meridian starts from the head and then follows the back of the head to the pubic point at the edge of the little toe on the outside of the foot.
There are 67 acupuncture points on the bladder meridian, which are mainly distributed in the back of the human body - the back and the back of the legs.
Bladder meridian indications:
- Respiratory diseases such as colds, fevers, asthma, pneumonia;
- digestive disorders, such as dyspepsia, dysentery, gastric prolapse, hepatitis;
- Other diseases such as insomnia, arthritis, sequelae of stroke, low back pain, etc.
