What is a meridian failure?

What is a meridian failure?

To answer this question, let's first look at what are meridians and how does Chinese medicine recognize them? Chinese medicine believes that the meridians are the channels that run the qi and blood, contact the internal organs and the surface of the body and all parts of the body, and are the regulatory system of the body's function, which is the basis of human acupuncture and massage, and is an important part of Chinese medicine. It is one of the core of the basic theories of the motherland medicine, which originates from ancient times and serves today. In more than 2,000 years of medicine, it has been playing an important role in safeguarding the health of the Chinese nation. As early as 2000 years ago, it was recorded in Huang Di Nei Jing: 'Meridians are the reason why people are born, the reason why diseases are formed, the reason why people are cured, and the reason why diseases begin.' And there is 'to determine life and death, deal with all diseases, adjust the real and virtual, can not be blocked' the discussion.

So what is the meridians? Chinese medicine believes that the meridians are like the transportation network in the body, once the meridians do not work, there will be a "traffic jam", the blood can not be transported to the human body is prone to disease, it is mainly manifested in the following: First, "pain is not passable", as long as the body pain symptoms, regardless of what part, it means that this part of the road is not smooth. What part, are on behalf of this part of the road is not smooth. For example: 1. Skin boils, acne, spots. 2, the body long cysts, lumps. 3, nasal congestion, tinnitus, tears in the wind, bad breath, stomach bloating, bloating, chest tightness. 4, the eyes are not clear, there is blood, the whites of the eyes began to become cloudy, yellow. 5, hands, legs, feet of the tendons protruding more obvious. 6, swelling, joint effusion. 7, the body of the recurring inflammation of various types, such as Gastritis, enteritis, gynecological diseases, etc. In addition to insufficient qi and blood in the body, the meridians are also a major cause.

Second, you can pinch the meat method to determine whether the network is smooth. Chinese medicine believes that "through the pain, not through the pain", pinch their own flesh, especially on the legs of the stomach meridian, gallbladder meridian, liver meridian, kidney meridian and the upper arm of the Sanjiao meridian, heart meridian, small intestine meridian meridian and other parts of the meridians, if pinch is very painful, then it means that you may be the meridians do not pass, and the more severe pain that the more serious the meridian blockage. For example: if your back is as hard as a board, others pinch a little, it is raw pain raw pain, and such people often feel especially tired day and night. This means that his back bladder meridian all blocked, is also the performance of the meridian blockage.

Third, over the blood method to determine the meridians through not, with their own a hand clenched the wrist of the other hand, when after a minute or so, will see was clenched wrist palms gradually from red, turned white, then, suddenly release the wrist, you will feel a stream of hot water all the way to the tip of the finger, at the same time, palms will gradually turn from white to red (this phenomenon is known as the over the blood), if your palm in half a minute to return to normal color, it means that your meridians are open, if you can not return to normal color in half a minute, it means that your meridians may not be smooth enough. If your palm returns to its normal color within half a minute, it means that your meridians are open. If your palm fails to return to its normal color within half a minute, it means that your meridians may not be open enough.

So through the meridians can really cure a variety of diseases? The answer is yes, because the meridians have: communicating with the table above and below, contact organs; pass blood, moistening organs and tissues; induction conduction; regulate the function of organs and organs of the functional activities of the function, because: 1. The human body consists of the five viscera and six bowels, limbs and bones, the five senses, nine orifices, flesh, sinews and bones and so on, which each have their own unique physiological functions, but only through the linkage of the meridian role, these functions to achieve mutual coordination, Mutual coordination, so that the human body to form an organic whole.

2. Qi and blood must be transmitted through the meridians in order to spread around the body, in order to warm and moisturize the internal organs, tissues and organs, to maintain the normal physiological function of the body.

3. Meridians can sense stimulation, conduction of information, when a part of the body is stimulated, the stimulation can be transmitted along the meridians into the relevant internal organs of the body, so that the corresponding physiological or pathological changes, and these changes can be through the meridian reaction on the body surface. For example, acupuncture in the 'get qi' is the specific embodiment of the meridian induction, conduction function.

4. Meridians can regulate the functional activities of the human body to maintain coordination and balance, when an organ of the human body functions abnormally, acupuncture and other therapeutic methods can be used to further stimulate the regulatory function of the meridians, so that the abnormal function of the organ to return to normal.

5. Meridian theory can be applied in the clinical interpretation of pathological changes, to assist in the diagnosis of disease, as well as to guide the clinical treatment of three aspects: (1) meridians and the occurrence of disease, transmission has a close relationship. Abnormal function of a meridian, it is easy to suffer from the invasion of external evil, both after the disease, the evil can be further along the meridian internal organs. Meridians are not only the pathway for the transmission of external evils from the surface into the inside, but also between the internal organs, internal organs and surface tissues of the pathway for the interaction of lesions.

(2) The meridians have certain circulation parts and internal organs, which can reflect the disease of the internal organs. Thus, in the clinic, according to the symptoms of the disease, combined with the part of the meridian circulation and the associated internal organs, as the basis for clinical diagnosis. Such as dystocia, more disease in the liver and gallbladder, dystocia is the liver meridian and gallbladder meridian circulation. People diagnose and treat diseases according to the pain, nodules, strips and other reactive substances appearing on certain acupoints where the meridians circulate or where the meridian qi gathers, as well as changes in the skin's morphology, temperature, and electrical resistance, etc. For example, if there is a disease in the lungs, the Zhongfu acupoints may have pressure and pain.

(3) The meridian theory has long been widely used to guide the treatment of various clinical disciplines, especially acupuncture, massage and prescription of traditional Chinese medicine. For example, the 'meridian point-taking method' in acupuncture is a specific application of the meridian theory. For example, in gastric diseases, it is common to take the foot-sanli points along the meridians; in dystocia, it is to take the tai-chong and other points.

(4) The treatment of Chinese medicine is also through the channel of meridians, so that the medicine reaches the place of disease to play its therapeutic role. For example, ephedra enters the lung and bladder meridians, so it can sweat, calm asthma and diuretic. Zhang Jiegu and Li Gao of the Four Great Masters of the Jin Yuan Dynasty also created the theory of 'introducing the meridians to make the medicine' according to the meridian theory. For example, to treat headache, Qiangwu is used in the solar meridian; Chaihu is used in the Shaoyang meridian.

Therefore, to summarize, energizing the meridians is a cure for a variety of diseases!

Meridian theory has a long history, but the current scientific and technological means can not find out where the meridians, and what is the specific effect. But our Chinese medicine according to the principle of meridians, can indeed treat some diseases. Let's talk briefly about the situation of the meridians.



Meridian is a general term for meridians and collaterals, which are the channels for the operation of qi and blood in the human body. Meridian theory is the human body meridian system of circulation distribution, physiological function, pathological changes and its relationship with the internal organs of a doctrine. The spiritual center - by other" said: "the twelve meridians, the reason why people are born, the reason why the disease became, the reason why people are treated, the reason why the disease, the beginning of the study, the work of the stop." Emphasizes the importance of meridians in physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment.

Let's talk about the role of the meridians again, know its role, in order to understand when the meridians do not work what bad things will happen.

The Spiritual Pivot - Meridians" records: "Meridians, so the decision of life and death, deal with all kinds of diseases, adjusting the real and virtual, can not be blocked." So it can determine the death and life because the meridians have contact with the body inside and outside, running the role of blood. At a hundred diseases because the meridians have the role of reflecting the symptoms of disease and evil. Adjustment of real and imaginary because of the stimulation of the meridians, the role of conduction and induction.

Meridians have contact with internal organs, communication between internal and external role. The human body five viscera and six bowels, limbs and bones, five senses and nine orifices, flesh, sinews and bones and other tissues and organs through the meridian connection and constitute an organic whole, complete physiological activities.



Meridians have the operation of qi and blood, coordinate the role of yin and yang. Blood and gas must be injected through the meridians, in order to lose the whole body, in order to moisten the body's internal organs, tissues and organs, to maintain the normal function of the body.

Meridians have the function of resisting diseases and reflecting symptoms. The meridians are both the pathway for the transmission of disease and evil, and the way to reflect the disease.

Meridians have the role of transmitting single induction and adjusting the deficiency. When the meridians or internal organs are dysfunctional, by stimulating certain points on the body surface through acupuncture, the meridians can conduct their therapeutic stimulation to the relevant parts and internal organs, thus exerting their function of regulating the qi and blood of the human body's internal organs and making the yin and yang calm, so as to achieve the purpose of treating diseases.

As the saying goes, "If you don't get through, you get pain". The most obvious symptom of a blocked meridian is pain. When the meridians and qi and blood stagnation, will produce pain. Massage, acupuncture, and hot compresses can help clear the blood and qi to relieve pain.



Meridian blockage can also affect the operation of qi and blood, qi can push the blood to run, meridian blockage of qi and blood running slowly, will lead to distal limb body temperature is low, or temperature difference such as hemiplegic patients.

The continued development of meridian blockage will reduce resistance, low visceral function, low function of the body's immune system and other symptoms.

In Chinese medicine, the meridians are like the transportation network of the human body, it is longitudinal and transverse, all over the body, inside and outside the human body, internal organs, limbs and organs, such as links to become an organic whole. In the body's life activities, the meridians play a contact viscera, communication between internal and external operation of the blood, nutrition, the whole body, resistance to disease, defense of the body and other roles, has a very important physiological function. The body's meridians do not work, like chimneys, gutters, water pipes, roads do not work, there will be a lot of health problems and hidden dangers.

Meridian pass through, in fact, they can judge one or two. Chinese medicine believes that "not through the pain, through the pain", so you can usually pinch their own bodies, legs, stomach meridian, liver meridian, gallbladder meridian, kidney meridian, upper arm with the heart meridian, Sanjiao meridian, small intestine meridian. If the pinch is very painful, it means that the meridians are impassable, the more severe the pain, the more serious the situation. In addition, there are long-term sedentary people, back like a board as hard, a little pinch is very painful, and such people often feel very tired all day long, which means that the back of the bladder meridian is not smooth, is also the performance of the meridian.

There is also a way to determine whether the meridians are smooth, more professional. Is to use their own hand clenched the wrist of the other hand, after a minute, was clenched by the hand gradually turned white, at this time, suddenly release the hand, you can feel the blood quickly rushed to the fingertips, to see the hand again from white to red. This is called over-blood in Chinese medicine. If the palm of the hand within half a minute to return to normal, indicating that the meridians are smooth, if the pale for a long time can not return to blood, indicating that the meridians do not work.

The above is the "meridians do not pass", want to meridians smooth, normal operation of qi and blood, or to move the body, which is very important.

What are meridians in the first place?

Meridians are the transmission channels of the body's disease and self-healing system. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine has clearly answered that meridians are blood vessels. Meridians are distributed throughout the body to form a network, where there are blood vessels, there are meridians.

Meridians are our circulatory system including the heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, and microcirculation arteries and veins.

The nervous system consists of 1. Motor nerves direct the movement of our skeletal muscles. Only this type of nerve is under the control of our human brain mind. The rest of the nerves are not controlled by our brain mind.2. Visceral nerves command our smooth muscle movement.3. Sympathetic nerves command our smooth contraction.4. Vagus nerves command our smooth muscle diastole.5.8 Pairs of cranial nerves command the sensation and movement of our five senses.6. Sensory nerves are the most important nerves of the human body (meridians), and its (meridians') headquarter is the human body's rehabilitation system. The sensory receptors of the meridians are found in the walls of blood vessels. The sensory nerves (meridians) govern the nervous systems. Sensory nerves have all the senses of the outside world and the body. Such as cold, heat, pain, touch, swelling, acidity, numbness, etc..

Why are meridians blood vessels?

Because blood vessels lead to every part of the organism, every cellular energy of the body is supplied by the blood in the vessels. In fact, the meridians are receptors for the presence of sensory nerves in the walls of the blood vessels. The transmission system of sensory nerves in the human body is not controlled by our thinking consciousness. It is an independent and important system of the human body that governs all the systems of the human body. All diseases are related to the obstruction of blood supply, when people have local diseases, local tissue ischemia caused by lesions, the receptors of the sensory nerves on the walls of the blood vessels through the nerves (meridians) to the human body rehabilitation system (meridians) center, the human body to mobilize the different systems to start self-protection rehabilitation therapy. Clinically, we know that many diseases can be cured by resting on their own, but only when our self-healing system is out of order do diseases arise. The soreness, numbness, distension and pain produced by stimulating the damaged local 'acupoints' through acupuncture is transmitted to the body's rehabilitation system by the meridians (receptors of sensory nerves on the walls of blood vessels), and the body's rehabilitation system regulates and mobilizes the body's other systems to treat the disease process.

In Chinese medicine, if the meridians do not pass, then there is pain. Pain is divided into two types of arterial pain, this type of pain is more serious, rapid pain. The other is called venous pain, this type of pain is lighter, slow pain, when the pain gradually develops to affect the arteries and convert to arterial pain. Let me start from the beginning.

1. Brain.

Brain tissue cells do not have skin, periosteum, peritoneum-like nociceptive nerves, because we local anesthesia craniotomy, intracranial tumors and hematomas, foreign body surgery, only need to anesthetize the skin and the periosteum, you can operate. As in the case of cerebral infarction we do not know the head pain, only the paralysis of the contralateral limb. When the intracranial tumor grows gradually, it causes a gradual increase in intracranial pressure, which exceeds the self-regulation of the cranial cavity and produces distension of the whole head (partial obstruction of venous return) and venous pain. Further increase in intracranial pressure (obstruction of venous return further aggravated) brain hernia occurs when the compression of arteries and turn into arterial pain. This is the meridian is not through the pain. When we craniotomy tumor cut out, hematoma clear out intracranial decompression pain relief, blood flow to restore the meridian pass without pain.

Trigeminal neuralgia, migraine because the trigeminal nerve extracranial section of the course, and the occipital nerve, occipital small nerve course by the muscle, fascia, nerve blood flow (meridian) is blocked and caused by arterial severe pain. This is not through the pain. When we use the needle and knife to cut the pressure on the trigeminal nerve, occipital large, occipital small nerve muscles, fascia, nerve blood flow after relief, this is the meridian through the pain.

2 Heart and lungs

Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris a coronary artery (meridian) is blocked by thrombus or spasm caused by myocardial ischemia and arterial severe pain. This is the meridian is not through the pain. When we improve the coronary artery blood supply and get relief, this is through and not pain.

Pulmonary infarction a pulmonary artery (meridian) is blocked by blood clots, air, fat, etc. and causes severe arterial pain. This is called pain without passage. When the embolism is lifted and the blood supply is restored and the pain is relieved, this is called passage without pain.

3. Abdominal cavity

Biliary colic a gallbladder stones, by eating high-fat food, causing the gallbladder contraction will be pushed into the gallbladder jugular tube and embedded, compression of the gallbladder artery so that the local visceral nerve ischemia and produce colic pain. This is the meridian does not pass is painful. When we use antispasmodic drugs after the stone back into the gallbladder, the gallbladder blood supply is restored, the pain relief, which is through and not pain.

Intestinal obstruction a intestinal torsion, incarcerated inguinal hernia, etc. are all caused by blockage of blood supply to the visceral nerves and cause pain. This is the meridian is not through the pain. When intestinal torsion, incarcerated hernia reset after the blood supply of visceral nerves to restore the pain relief, this is the passage without pain.

4. Pain caused by chronic myofascial hypertension in neck, shoulder, lumbar and leg pain.

Acute myofascial hypertension of the lower limb due to calf fracture injury, bleeding, oozing from the injury place makes myofascial pressure increase, causing venous reflux obstruction, at this time the pain is venous distension, the condition can not be effectively treated, the myofascial pressure rises further so that the arterial blood supply is blocked by the nerve ischemia and arterial pain, which is the meridian is not through the pain. When we perform myofasciotomy decompression, the blood supply is restored and the pain is relieved, this is the meridian passage is not pain.

Joint dislocation compresses the arteries and veins of the dislocated part, causing nerve ischemia and pain, which is pain without communication. When the joints are reset, the blood supply to the nerves is restored and the pain is relieved, which is the result of the passage of the meridians without pain.

The abscess compresses the blood supply of nerves in the surrounding tissues and produces pain, this is the meridian not passes but pain. When we cut and drain the abscess, the ischemia of the local nerves is improved and the pain is relieved, this is the meridian passes without pain.

Gout is mainly urate deposition in the subperiosteum, synovial cavity by the hypertonic effect of the subperiosteum, the bursa pressure increases to block the local nerve blood supply and produce pain, which is the meridian is not through the pain. When we use the needle knife to cut decompression nerve ischemia is improved, pain relief, this is the meridian through the pain.

Ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid rheumatism, rheumatism and other synovial cavity effusion compression of local nerve blood supply and produce pain, this is the meridian does not pass the pain. By decompression of synovial cavity through the needle knife to improve the blood supply of local nerves, pain relief, which is the meridian passage without pain.

To summarize the vast majority of diseases and meridians (blood vessels) are not related to the source of all diseases for the meridians.

Meridian is a network covering the human body, inside and outside the body it is everywhere. Meridian is a dynamic phenomenon, the human body nutrition and garbage to keep conveying, positive and evil qi in and out of the meridian. All these life phenomena can neither be fast nor slow, not to mention the lack of and congestion, everything should be in order, the order of any changes are meridians. People eat all kinds of diseases, the healing of any disease is the positive energy through the meridians will force the evil out of the body process. So dredging the meridians is effective for any disease. Only for some diseases it has a direct effect on some of the diseases of the treatment of the pavement and rehabilitation of the auxiliary therapeutic effect.

Simple slightly A: human meridian division of the human body is divided into six levels. One: the skin layer. Second: muscle layer. Third: blood layer (each layer is connected with capillaries). Four: tendon layer. Five: bone layer. VI: Essence within the bone.

The human body is subject to its own likes and dislikes. Anger. Worry. Thoughts. Sorrow. Fright. Fear, and external wind. Cold. Heat. Dampness. Dryness. Fire six kinds of wind invasion, the harm caused to the human body, can make the human body meridian blockage.

Manifestations: acidity. Numbness. Swelling. Swelling. Pain. Yin syndrome of the wound is difficult to heal or often cold, there are wounds after or around the upper or lower limbs of the hair black spots black spots, the more serious large areas of blackened necrosis.Yang syndrome of toothache. Fire. Dizziness. High blood pressure. Severe cases of cerebral hemorrhage or sudden death.

简言:举例说明更容易了解,在医院开刀全麻醉做手术时,不会在病人吃饭后进行,麻醉过程中你的思维或者清楚,你的呼吸正常血液流正常,但你的腹部一定会鼓胀,这就是经络在麻醉情况下先去了运动功能,医生没有在你没通气(放屁)的情况下,不会让你喝水或吃东西,否则会有生危险。

Because people have six layers of meridian channels, even if there's one. Two. Or three meridian blockage will not die, only to lose some of the corresponding function and carry on.

Personal Chinese medicine and Western medicine combined theory, do not like do not spray.

What does stagnant mean? Why does stagnant water stink? The meridians do not work to the skin loss of nourishment, the five viscera and six organs can be a lack of blood, gas? Can people not breathe? Machines also need oil to send out power, and water to the engine cooling, the lack of one can not be. People are the same, gas line blood line. Meridian blockage is the pipeline stagnation, stagnant gas, stagnant blood, stagnation. Qi stagnation, such as air pollution, smoking and so on. Blood stagnation, the shedding factor in the blood vessels, hemolytic streptococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, cholesterol, the usual hanging saline Pm2.5 and so on. Stasis, rheumatism, trauma, etc.

Meridians are equivalent to connecting the brain phone line, meridians through the brain can coordinate the body's blood distribution. If you can't get through, you can't coordinate. Resulting in the body's organs can not accept the brain's adjustment. And sick. Meridians through the body can accept the brain coordination, thus curing the disease.

Generally speaking, it is a bit loose to say that the words are not clear, and it is more appropriate to say that they are not smooth. Because the real meridians do not work, the part of the seal will gradually fester away. Loss of vitality. Ordinary people people's problems are meridians are not smooth sub-healthy state, the reason is that a variety of disease damage and leakage, disease, such as you have a cold, cold virus in your throat area to form a small area of the disease gas field, the Ren vein on the passage of the real gas will be not smooth and consume, in the seriousness of a little bit of gas will lead to the accumulation of all the Governor's vein caused by the rise in body temperature. And this human body qi and sick qi consumption war eventually internal qi victory to regain has dredged the Ren Chakra and return to normal, other damage is also a matter of a while, and leakage words, this learning is big. In short. There is a saying in Taoism called the smooth adult, against the immortal. The meaning of this lies in the smooth is a human body constantly consume the process of leakage. And the reverse is a stop leakage and accumulation of the process, the human body from the youth when the vital energy is sufficient health to the old age of a weakened process is the vital energy of a loose process, you ask whether you can through the meridians to achieve completely free of disease and illness. The answer is of course. But it's not that simple. You can't do it through regular acupuncture or by tapping acupoints. You need to practice qi, and in Taoism. It's a huge systematic project with a lot of content. It can't be generalized.

Yes, the human body where not through the pain, I personally recommend that you can pass through the way of physical therapy meridians, the human body has a blockage will have a variety of diseases, physical therapy in many ways, such as gua sha, cupping and other varied, meridians through the natural qi and blood sufficient to run to the whole body, the person is very comfortable, I hope to be able to help you!
