What are the reasons for meridian blockage

Meridian blockage often appears in Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine’s explanation for meridian blockage is always related to cold and heat. There are many reasons for meridian blockage, which may also be related to people’s living and eating habits. Being in an inappropriate environment for a long time can also cause meridian blockage.

1. Eating a lot of junk food.

Because junk food contains a lot of additives, these unnatural things, once entering the human body, will accumulate over time and form a lot of waste in the body that cannot be excreted. These things are most likely to block the human body's meridians.

2. Stay in an air-conditioned environment for a long time.

Humans are hot-blooded animals. When the weather is hot, we sweat, and sweating itself is a detoxification process. If you use air conditioning extensively and do not allow your body to detoxify, over time, the waste in your body that could have been discharged normally will be suppressed, and these wastes will block the body's meridians.

3. Working in the same posture for a long time.

For example, long-term use of computers can cause the body's Qi and blood to be blocked from circulating. Some muscles or tissues will not be nourished by Qi and blood for a long time, so the meridians in this part will naturally not be unobstructed.

4. Cold.

Whether it is the cold air in winter, the cold air under air conditioning in summer, or the humid cold air in some special environments, as well as washing hands, face and brushing teeth with cold water, if we are not careful, the cold air will easily enter our body, and the normal circulation of qi and blood in the meridians requires a constant temperature. When it is lower than its constant temperature, the stagnant cold air will cause the blockage of Qi and blood in the meridians, which will cause pain and all kinds of diseases. The contracting shape of cold air will cause the tendons and veins to contract and twitch, and make it difficult for the joints to flex and extend.
