What are the dangers of blocked thigh meridians

Body functions are very important to the human body and directly determine the body's behavior and movements. The muscles are controlled by various nerves, which are distributed in the body like a network. When the meridians of the human body are blocked, the body will experience various uncomfortable symptoms, such as: various touch sensations, pain, cold and heat, etc.; or cramps, paralysis, and in severe cases it can directly lead to paralysis. This article briefly introduces the dangers of blockage in the thigh meridians.

The human body is very sensitive. If the meridians are blocked, it will send out many uncomfortable signals for help. Let’s take a look at what performance there is:

The first feeling of meridian blockage : pain

It’s the same old saying: if there is pain, there is blockage; if there is blockage, there is no pain. The first feeling of meridian blockage is pain. For example, sometimes we have unexplained pain, which means that the meridian here is blocked.

Qi and blood stagnation : cold

In addition to a cold head, some other parts of the body may also feel cold, the most common of which are the hands and feet, which is often a sign of blocked meridians. Because human body temperature is determined by the flow of Qi and blood, only when Qi and blood are abundant can body temperature be normal. If a certain area feels cold, it may be that the meridians there are blocked, making it difficult for Qi and blood to reach that area.

In addition, there is asymmetry in body temperature and sweating. For example, in some people with hemiplegia, the meridians are severely blocked, and one side of the healthy part is normal in body temperature while the other side is cold.

In addition to the feeling of cold and heat, the impact of meridian blockage on the skin surface can also manifest as enlarged skin pores, blocked hair follicles and other problems. Without blood and qi, the waste in the pores cannot be discharged, which clogs the pores and causes the hair follicles to grow poorly.

Therefore, if the above problems occur in a certain part of the body, you can refer to the meridian map to find the meridians where they are located, and perform moxibustion treatment. After they are unblocked, many problems will be eliminated.

Heat is blocked : hot

The heat caused by meridian blockage is mainly manifested as low-grade fever, dryness, or local abnormal sweating in certain parts of the body. This is because the meridians in the body are blocked and the heat cannot be dissipated through normal channels. In addition to the redness, swelling, heat, and pain caused by external evil, which are related to the blockage of the meridians where the fever is located, general low-grade fever may come from the connected meridians.

Qi and blood circulate in the body over and over again. If this path is blocked, it will look for a breakthrough in the nearby meridians. The first meridians to be affected are the meridians with an exterior-interior relationship or a mother-child relationship, causing them to become hot.

For example, low-grade fever in the head is not necessarily a problem with the bladder meridian, but may be caused by insufficient qi and blood or stagnation in the kidney meridian, which is related to it.

The meridians are completely blocked: numbness and stiffness

The further development of meridian blockage is numbness or stiffness! For example, if we sit cross-legged for too long, the blood circulation in the lower limbs will be blocked, causing pain; then, the meridians will be blocked, the blood circulation will be completely blocked, and the legs will become numb.

Only when the Qi and blood flow smoothly can consciousness be restored.

The symptoms of numbness and numbness often appear together, but in traditional Chinese medicine, their causes are different. "Numbness indicates qi deficiency, and numbness indicates blood deficiency." If the numbness is severe, it means qi deficiency, and if the numbness is severe, it means blood deficiency.

When numbness occurs in the limbs, it needs to be taken seriously, especially for patients with hypertension. They must pay attention to clearing the meridians in time, which can reduce the probability of stroke.

Slowed blood supply : acid

Body soreness indicates that the supply of qi and blood in the meridians is too slow and cannot meet the body's needs.

After strenuous exercise, such as a sprint, people will feel sore or weak afterwards. This is because sprinting requires more qi and blood supply, which exceeds the normal limit of the body's qi and blood supply, resulting in soreness due to insufficient qi and blood supply.

Under normal circumstances, consumption and replenishment are in a balance, so health-preserving exercises are never strenuous exercises, but rather exercises that balance the supply and demand of Qi and blood, such as Tai Chi, Qigong, etc. Western medicine also highly recommends aerobic exercises, such as jogging and flexibility exercises.

If a part of the body feels sore for no reason, or even after slight exercise, it means that the meridians in that part are blocked and the supply of Qi and blood is slowed down. At this time, by patting and massaging the meridians, you may discover potential symptoms of meridian blockage such as pain, swelling, and bloating.

Two forms of meridian blockage: swelling and bloating 01 Meridian blockage can be tangible, which is swelling, often caused by blood stasis.

To reduce swelling, you need to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. You can use scraping or cupping to treat it. The purple or black "sha" that many people scrape out or pull out is actually blood stasis in the meridians.

It can also be combined with moxibustion, such as the Xuehai point on the inner side of the knee. The "blood" in "blood sea" refers to the spleen blood, and "sea" means that the blood produced by the spleen meridian gathers here, and its qi and blood energy is as vast as the sea. Xuehai acupoint is located on the spleen meridian. The spleen is responsible for blood regulation and has the function of controlling blood from flowing disorderly and preventing blood stasis. Regular moxibustion can promote the circulation of qi and blood, and has an auxiliary therapeutic effect on eliminating congestion. 02 Meridian blockage can also be invisible, which is bloating, caused by qi stagnation.

Bloating is usually caused by the formation of “vortexes” of qi when qi does not flow smoothly in the meridians. If a part of the body is swollen, you can first perform moxibustion along the meridians of that part, and then perform moxibustion on the painful point.

Secondly, you can also look for relevant pain points in the Sanjiao meridian. "Nanjing" says: "The Sanjiao governs Qi." All "Qi diseases" can be treated through the Sanjiao meridian. For example, pinching the Zhongzhu point can treat calf cramps, and the Zhigou point can treat side pain.

The qi blockage in the triple burner is mainly concentrated between the neck and upper arms. When you have nothing to do, you can use your hands as a rake, raking from your neck and shoulders to the back of your arms, until you reach your ring finger. Then rub the painful area for a while, so that the Qi of the three burners can be regulated.
