The international authoritative journal "Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine" published papers. The content of the article shows that the researchers clearly observed the continuous fluorescent lines migrating along the human meridians and acupoints for the first time, which strongly proved the existence of meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. This research mainly relies on scientists from the Institute of Life Science and Technology of Xinao Group, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Harvard Medical College to participate in the research. This strongly proves the reliability of this research report.
Dr. Tang, the person in charge of the research, introduced that this experiment obtained a clear fluorescent image of the meridian over 20cm, and the content obtained was the movement track of the meridian in the pericardium. Dr. Tang said that the imaging of meridians is stable, and the trajectory of movement generally develops along the adjacent acupoints of pericardium meridian. From Neiguan, Shi Mei to Quchi, it completely coincides with the points of pericardium meridian, forming a stable meridian line. It is understood that the research team observed three fluorescent lines running along other meridians in the same way. All these can show that human meridians are real.
Meridians are similar to human blood vessels, which mainly connect the five internal organs of human body. Smooth channels and collaterals can keep the oxygen transport channel of blood running normally. Blocking meridians will lead to blood stasis and hypoxia. The intersection of each meridian is called acupoint, which is the node between the internal system of the human body and the body surface. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the flow of meridians in the body is in chronological order, just like tidal movement. When the tide rises, qi and blood will be more vigorous. When tide ebbs, qi and blood are insufficient.
Smooth channels and collaterals can keep the channels of qi and blood in the body unblocked and can relieve and treat diseases. People treat or relieve diseases through acupuncture, massage and cupping. Mainly according to the principle of meridians, some symptoms can be relieved by acupoint massage and acupoint stimulation. There are a large number of acupoints in the human body, and stimulating different acupoints can achieve different therapeutic effects. In some cases, pressing these acupoints will have unexpected effects.
Pressing the intersection of thumb and forefinger can relieve stomach pain; Beating the small intestine meridian can relieve abdominal pain, diarrhea and indigestion; Motion sickness and headache. You can press Neiguan point when you go out by car. The Neiguan point is on the palm of your forearm, two inches above the horizontal stripes of your wrist. In the case of abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting, pressing Zusanli (Zusanli) can relieve pain. Zusanli (Zusanli) is located above the anterolateral side of the leg when bending the knee, three inches below the knee. Pressing Fengchi point is helpful to relieve the pain when the head hurts; Fengchi point is below the occipital bone of the posterior neck, and the outer edges of the two tendons are sunken in the nest, which is equivalent to the level of the earlobe.
