The harm of pushing meridians can be ignored

Pushing the meridians is a highly recommended method of treating diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. It has many benefits, including dredging the meridians, stimulating blood circulation throughout the body, strengthening children's physique, treating high fever, etc. From the clinical effect point of view, the massage time should be kept within half an hour, and a course of treatment is 12 times. The effect will be immediate and the harm will be almost negligible. However, you must not massage when you are in a bad mood.

1. Benefits of Chinese medicine meridian massage

The benefits of massage are many and easy to learn. The method is easy to operate, economical and practical, and can also replace drugs. For example, some patients can feel lifted up after massage, which acts as a stimulant; it can also calm the patient down, which acts as a sedative.

Since massage is beneficial to the circulatory system and metabolism, it is relatively safe and reliable for patients with general chronic diseases or excessive physical weakness. For children who have difficulty taking medicine, massage can enhance their physical fitness and play a preventive health-care role. For some complex diseases, acupuncture and drug treatment can also be used. However, for some acute or high fever infectious diseases, or organ lesions, such as typhoid, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc., massage can only play a supporting role. If you suffer from a tumor, acute suppurative appendicitis, intestinal perforation, cholecystitis caused by biliary ascariasis, etc., and the condition is severe, you should be transferred to the emergency room of the hospital immediately. Do not use massage to delay the condition. For married women who have been amenorrhea for about two months and suddenly experience severe lower abdominal pain, they should be rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment without delay in order to confirm whether they have an ectopic pregnancy or other acute illness.
