Acupoint Massage-Activating Qi and Blood to Stay Away from Diseases

Chinese medicine believes that for the human body, meridians can "decide life and death and cure all diseases." Massage the meridian points on the human body can activate the whole body's qi and blood, nourish the whole body and prevent diseases. Its function is embodied in the following two points:

Run qi and blood and nourish the whole body.

Qi and blood are the material basis of human life activities. Only when all tissues and organs of the whole body are nourished and moistened by Qi and blood can normal physiological functions be completed. Meridian is the channel of qi and blood circulation in human body, which can transport nutrients to all tissues and organs of the whole body, nourish viscera and tissues, moisten bones and muscles and smooth joints. It can be said that only through the meridian system can nutrients such as qi and blood be transported to the whole body and the human body can maintain normal life activities. Massage can dredge meridians, make qi and blood flow to all parts of the body, and maintain sufficient qi and blood and balance between yin and yang.

Resist evil spirits and defend your body.

There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing: "The meridians are blocked, and the disease is born in inhumanity, so massage is the cure." The meaning of this sentence is that if the meridians are not smooth, people will get sick, and massage can dredge the meridians, thus curing the disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that meridians "promote qi and blood circulation", so that the qi of ying and Wei covers the whole body, which is in harmony with the five internal organs and resists external evils. When exogenous pathogens invade the human body from the outside to the inside, dredging the meridians through massage can activate the qi of ying and Wei, thus making it play a barrier role in resisting exogenous pathogens and defending the body.

Modern medicine also believes that acupoint massage can increase the temperature of local tissues, stimulate peripheral nerves, dilate capillaries, thus promoting blood and lymph circulation and metabolic process between tissues, improving metabolism, preventing diseases and improving immunity.
