How to open up blocked meridians the fastest and most effectively

Blocked meridians can also have an impact on physical health, often causing weakness and soreness in the limbs or various discomfort symptoms. Therefore, you should pay attention to some methods that can open up the meridians, such as combing your hair to promote blood circulation, or gently rubbing the earlobes to promote kidney qi.

1. Heating is an effective way to dredge the meridians

When there is a lot of cold and dampness in the body, all the pipes will contract due to the cold, and the muscles and tissues in the body will become hardened due to the cold. When encountering this kind of situation, you must learn to warm up your body through proper physical exercise to expel the cold and dampness, so that the body can be fully thawed and various channels can naturally become unblocked.

2. Combing your hair promotes blood circulation

Method: Use your fingers or a wooden comb to comb your hair from the front of your forehead to the back of your pillow, and from the temples on both sides to the top of your head, 50 to 100 times each time. It is best to comb your hair in the morning.

Efficacy: All the meridians of the human body converge on the head. When combing your hair, you will pass through nearly 50 acupoints, such as 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. Gently rub the earlobe to promote kidney qi

Method: 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 hot.

Efficacy: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "kidneys control bones and produce marrow". 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.

4. Beat your back often to dredge the meridians

Method: When beating the back, use both hands to lightly tap and pat along both sides of the spine from top to bottom or from bottom to top. The strength of the beating should be enough to make the body vibrate without feeling pain. Strive for coordinated movements, even rhythm, and elastic application. Generally, the frequency of back beating should be 60 to 100 times per minute. You can do it 1 to 2 times a day, and each time should not exceed 20 minutes.

Efficacy: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach, gallbladder, large intestine, small intestine, bladder, triple burner, and twelve acupoints are all connected to the back. Moderately beating the back can invigorate the yang energy, dredge the meridians, promote the circulation of qi and blood, harmonize the internal organs, and achieve the effects of eliminating fatigue, calming the mind and tranquilizing the nerves. At the same time, beating the back can also stimulate the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the back, conduct through the nervous system and meridians, strengthen the endocrine and nervous system functions of the human body, and improve the body's immunity and disease resistance.
