Benefits of meridian dredging massage

If we have the conditions, we will go for a massage, which can relieve our work stress and fatigue. Regular massage is good for our health. There are many types of massage nowadays, including Chinese and Thai, and they are further subdivided. Among Chinese massages there is a meridian massage, which is more professional and effective because it is a massage technique strictly based on the meridians of traditional Chinese medicine.

1. You can use bathing massage method

This is one of the best ways to dredge the meridians. Taking a bath with warm water can dilate the body's capillaries. Then gently massaging the body and kneading the earlobes can effectively expel toxins from the body. This method can also dredge the kidney qi and improve the metabolic capacity.

2. You can also use combing your hair to dredge your meridians

People who sit frequently will suffer from back pain and shoulder and neck discomfort because they maintain the same posture for a long time. This is because the meridians in the shoulders and neck are blocked. Proper hair combing can relieve the blockage of the shoulder and neck meridians and relieve the pressure on the head.

3. Acupuncture treatment is also very good

Acupuncture or massage can be performed on the Hegu point to dredge the meridians and speed up blood circulation. During the acupuncture process, the patient will feel numbness, which is a normal reaction. After acupuncture, the patient should rest for 30 minutes before exercising.

1. Gently rub the earlobe to promote kidney qi

Make empty fists with both hands, and use your thumb and index finger to rub the earlobe up and down for 1 minute until the earlobe becomes engorged and warm. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the body's essence is collected by various organs and then handed over to the kidneys for storage. The kidneys open up to the ears, and the ears are covered with acupuncture points throughout the body. Therefore, massaging the ears can not only strengthen the kidneys, but also open up acupuncture points throughout the body.

2. Combing your hair promotes blood circulation

Use your fingers or a wooden comb to "comb your hair" from the front of the forehead to the back of the pillow, and from the temples on both sides to the top of the head, 50 to 100 times each time. It is best to comb your hair in the morning. All the meridians of the human body converge in the head. When combing your hair, you will pass through nearly 50 acupoints, including Mei Chong, Tong Tian, ​​Bai Hui, Yin Tang, Yu Zhen, Feng Chi, etc. Stimulating these acupoints like acupuncture can promote blood flow in the head and dredge the meridians.

3. Lotus sitting to activate ligaments

When sitting, bend your left leg, place the instep of your left foot on the groin of your right thigh, place your hands on your left knee, and gently move it up and down several times to make it touch the ground; then change to your right foot. Persistent exercise can help to activate various ligaments in the human body, fully stretch the muscles of the legs, abdomen, chest, neck, etc., and keep the meridians unobstructed.

4. 5-word breathing regulation to open up the five internal organs

Every morning, breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth, and silently recite: hush, huh, kou si, blow, hu, without making any sound. Each sound corresponds to an internal organ: "hu" is for the liver, "ha" is for the heart, "kou si" is for the lungs, "chui" is for the kidneys, and "hu" is for the spleen. This is to regulate the breath and unblock the five internal organs by regulating breathing. If you often say "hush", it can nourish the liver and improve eyesight; if you often say "ha", it can relieve heart fire, etc., if you persist for a long time, there will be certain effects.

5. Three-line relaxation to open up the meridians

Lie flat on the bed, divide your body into three lines, and relax from top to bottom. The first line (on both sides): top of the head - both sides of the head - both sides of the neck - both shoulders - both upper arms - both elbows - both hands. Keep your mind on the tip of the middle finger for 1 to 2 minutes; the second line (front): face - neck - chest - abdomen - two thighs - two knees - two calves - two insteps - ten toes. Keep your mind on your toes for 1 to 2 minutes; the third line (at the back): back of the head - occipital region - backs of both calves - both heels - both soles of both feet. Keep your mind on the Yongquan point on the sole of your foot for 1 to 2 minutes.
