      As the saying goes, “If there is pain, there will be no pain; if there is pain, there will be no pain.” ”This has been effectively confirmed in the meridian science of traditional Chinese medicine. Many middle-aged and elderly people often suffer from back pain, leg pain, or headache and arm pain. Friends who are often troubled by pain are actually very suitable for doing some health care to relax the meridians.

      The famous scholar Professor Jin Bohua is nearly 80 years old, but she speaks sharply, moves quickly, and exudes an open-minded, free and easy masculinity. Her speech and behavior reflect the unique elegance of intellectuals in the 1950s and 1960s. His good physical strength is enough to attend acupuncture clinics three times a week and participate in some lectures and social activities. You must know that acupuncture requires not only finger strength, but also physical strength. Jin Lao told reporters that his experience is to pay attention to the smooth flow of Qi and blood.

      Meridians cannot be seen or touched, and Western research on their essence using various methods is inconclusive, but they are very important in the treatment of diseases and health preservation in traditional Chinese medicine. Meridians include twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians, which are spread throughout the body, connecting internal organs, external meridians, limbs, skin, and pores, communicating with the inside and outside, and penetrating up and down. But the meridians are not static. Since they are the channels for the circulation of qi and blood, they must be kept smooth, so as to maintain the normal physiological functions of the organs. If the meridians are blocked, it can range from discomfort to severe disease.

      The ancients understood this truth long ago. The "Nei Jing" says: "The meridians must be unblocked to determine life and death, treat all kinds of diseases, and regulate deficiency and excess. ”Therefore, TCM treatment, whether it is acupuncture or decoction, is always based on the smooth flow of the human body's meridians and the well-organized qi. It is said that "the use of acupuncture to channel qi is the most important; moxibustion is used to warm and unblock the meridians and dispel evil qi; Bianstone is used to regulate blood and wind numbness in the collaterals; and decoction is used to regulate the meridians."

      Regarding the once popular method of tapping the gallbladder meridian, Jin Lao emphasized that although the gallbladder meridian is important, it is only one of the 14 meridians. Other meridians must also be tapped, and it cannot be generalized. If you persist for a period of time, you will have the feeling of open meridians and smooth flow of qi and blood. You will feel refreshed and comfortable, and it can also prevent and cure diseases. The action is very simple, only takes five minutes each time, but the effect is huge.
