What meridian is on the outside of the arm

The outside of the arm is where the large intestine meridian of the human body is located. The large intestine meridian is what we usually call the intestines. If a person's intestines are healthy and bowel movements are smooth, then he will enjoy his food and his body will be healthy. If the large intestine meridian is blocked, it can easily lead to constipation. Stool can mainly carry toxins out of the body. If you are constipated, there are too many toxins and garbage in the body, which will affect your normal health.

Tap it every day to detoxify and beautify your skin

The section of the arm that we tap is the course of the large intestine meridian. Tapping the arms is tapping the large intestine meridian.

The large intestine itself is the "organ of communication" that continuously discharges the body's waste out of the body. Keeping the large intestine meridian unobstructed has so many benefits to the body!

1. Excrete toxins

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the large intestine is the "organ of conduction" whose main function is to digest waste and excrete more than 50% of toxins from the body through feces every day.

2. A smooth intestine is the foundation of longevity

Wang Chong, a medical scientist in the Han Dynasty, proposed: "If you want to live long, keep your intestines clean." Intestinal patency is an important indicator of human health and the foundation of longevity.

3. Helps intestinal health and prevents constipation

An unobstructed large intestine meridian is conducive to intestinal health; if the qi and blood in the large intestine meridian are blocked and the meridians are blocked, constipation will occur. Long-term constipation causes toxins to accumulate in the body, which will reduce the functions of the five internal organs and cause other diseases.

4. Detoxification, beauty and enhancement of human immunity

In addition, keeping the large intestine meridian unobstructed does not only solve constipation, it can also effectively enable the large intestine to perform its functions and enhance the effects of detoxification and beauty. When the large intestine discharges the accumulated waste in the body in a timely manner, the blood, organs and gases in the human body will be purified, thereby enhancing the body's immunity.

5. Strengthen lung function and moisturize skin

"The lungs and large intestine are the exterior and interior of each other." When the large intestine meridian has abundant qi and blood and its qi flows smoothly, toxins in the body can be excreted in time, ensuring normal lung function. "The lungs control the skin and fur." ​​If the lungs are healthy, the body's complexion will naturally be radiant and moisturized, and the skin will be delicate and attractive. There are two important acupoints on the large intestine meridian, namely Hegu and Quchi, which should also be given special health care.

1. Hegu point: pain relief, prevention and treatment of colds

Located at the base of the thumb on the back of the hand, massaging this point has a good analgesic effect. For example, Hegu is the preferred acupoint for treating toothache, headache, sore throat, etc.

Regular massage of the Hegu point can effectively prevent and treat colds, and also has a certain effect on the treatment and relief of high blood pressure.

2. Quchi point: clearing away heat, purging fire, and detoxifying

When the elbow is bent, the point is at the end of the elbow transverse line. Quchi is the preferred acupoint for clearing heat, purging fire and detoxifying, especially for febrile diseases, it has a good antipyretic effect. Quchi point is also an important health care point. Persistently massaging it every day can help lower blood sugar, blood lipids and blood pressure.

When tapping the large intestine meridian, you should remember not to confuse it with the lung meridian because they are relatively close. The large intestine meridian is tapped from bottom to top, this must be remembered. Let your left hand hang naturally with the palm facing forward. Make an empty fist with your right hand and tap from the left shoulder socket with a little force along the outer side of the arm all the way to the tip of the thumb, focusing on tapping the Quchi and Hegu points. Make an empty fist with your left hand and tap the large intestine meridian on your right arm. Do this for one minute each way, from the upper arm to the wrist, tapping the entire meridian.
