Symptoms of opening up the Ren and Du meridians

I believe that anyone who has read martial arts novels and watched martial arts TV dramas must have often heard the characters say that opening the Ren and Du meridians will allow them to better practice peerless martial arts. In real life, the Ren and Du meridians actually exist in the human body. However, after opening these meridians, people cannot practice unique martial arts, but their bodies will be relatively better. So what are the symptoms when a person's Ren and Du meridians are opened?

What are the Ren and Du meridians? The meridians in the human body are divided into twelve main meridians, eight extraordinary meridians, and twelve collateral meridians. The Ren and Du meridians belong to the eight extraordinary meridians.

1. Governor Vessel

Where the Governor Vessel Runs

It starts from the uterus (the uterus includes Dantian, lower abdomen, liver, gallbladder, kidney and bladder, which is the place where essence and energy gather, and belongs to the earth part of the "three talents" of internal organs), goes down to the perineum, goes up along the back of the spine, enters the skull at the Fengfu point behind the neck, connects with the brain, and goes along the midline of the head along the neck, through the top of the head, forehead, nose, upper lip, to the frenulum of the upper lip.

Branch: Branches out from the back of the spine and belongs to the kidney.

Branches: Go straight up from the lower abdomen, through the center of the navel, up through the heart, to the throat, then up to the lower jaw, around the lips, up to the center below the eyes.

2. Ren Meridian

The location of the Ren Meridian

The Ren meridian also starts in the uterus and goes down to the perineum. It passes through the pubic area, goes up along the midline of the abdomen and chest, reaches the throat, goes up to the mandible, goes around the lips, along the cheeks, and branches to below the eye sockets.

Branches: Branch out from the cell and run backward along with the Chong Meridian in front of the spine.

The Ren meridian governs blood and is the sea of ​​yin meridians; the Du meridian governs qi and is the sea of ​​yang meridians. In other words, the Ren and Du meridians play a dominant role in the six yin meridians and six yang meridians of the hands and feet respectively. When the twelve main meridians are full of qi and blood, they will flow into the Ren and Du meridians; conversely, if the Ren and Du meridians are thriving, they will also circulate in the twelve main meridians. Hence, it is said: "If the Ren and Du meridians are unblocked, all meridians will be unblocked."

What is the use of opening up the Ren and Du meridians?

Martial arts novels often regard opening up the Ren and Du meridians as a key to increasing strength. According to Chinese medicine theory, these two important meridians are indeed effective in health care. The Ren Meridian runs through the middle of the human abdomen and regulates the body's yin energy and qi and blood. There are 28 acupoints on the Du meridian, which runs along the middle of the back of the human body. It governs the yang meridians of the whole body and regulates the body's yang energy and true essence. It can be seen from this that the Ren and Du meridians play a very important role in regulating the qi, blood, yin and yang of the whole body.

The commonly used health care acupoints on the Ren meridian are Guan Yuan and Qi Hai, while the frequently mentioned health care acupoint "Zusanli" is on the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming.

Massage and apply hot compresses to these acupoints on a daily basis, “the more times the better”, to enhance the body’s immunity.
