Meridian Regulation

Meridian theory is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine and is also the theoretical basis of moxibustion therapy. Human beings are a whole. The internal organs and limbs are coordinated with each other. This coordinated relationship is mainly achieved through the regulating function of meridians. Modern research shows that meridian acupoints have three major characteristics:

Meridian acupoints are exogenously sensitive to drugs, that is, using the same moxibustion method to select certain acupoints and general body surface points will have significantly different effects.

Meridian acupoints are sensitive to drugs. That is, using the same moxibustion method to select certain acupoints and general body surface points, the effects are obviously different.

2 The amplifying effect of meridians and acupoints on drug effects Meridians are not a simple route running on the surface of the body, but a multi-level, multi-functional and multi-form regulatory system. When moxibustion is applied to acupoints, its multi-level physiological functions are affected. In this cyclic induction process, they stimulate each other, coordinate with each other, and superimpose their effects, resulting in a physiological amplification effect.
