★ You won't know until you see it! How important is meridian maintenance?

◎ Human Body Alarm

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is said that "internal illness must manifest externally." Whenever there is a problem in the body, the meridians immediately sound the alarm.

◎ Detoxification Happens Here

Meridians absorb essence and excrete waste; "detoxification" is the most important duty of the meridians.

◎ Self-Repair Without Help

The repair ability of meridians doesn't just treat the head for a headache or the foot for a foot ache; it affects the whole body. For instance, treating an illness in the upper body via lower acupoints, or treating abdominal pain via the back, even treating multiple ailments through one single acupoint.

★ Three Major Methods for Meridian Health

◎ Most Representative Stimulation: Acupressure

Among acupoint stimulations that can be done at home, acupressure is the most common. The first tip is to use the thumb, index, or middle finger—which are easier to apply force with—and press with the finger pulp to increase pressure without feeling fatigued even after long periods.

◎ Most Effective Stimulation: Moxibustion

First, place mugwort in the palm, twist it into a long thin shape, then pick off a piece about 2-3 cm from the tip to form a pyramid shape the size of a grain of rice for moxibustion.

Besides burning mugwort directly, the simplest method is incense moxibustion: prepare an incense stick, light it, and bring the tip close to the acupoint. Withdraw it once you feel heat.

◎ Learn to Use Everyday Objects: Substitutes

Tie five or six toothpicks together with a rubber band and stimulate acupoints by pricking them with the sharp ends; use the rounded ends if the stimulation is too strong.

If you dislike acupuncture, you can aim the warm air of a hair dryer at the acupoints. People with sensitive skin can use an old toothbrush to stimulate acupoints via massage.

★ "Fast-Acting Acupoints" Everyone Should Have!

◎ Regain Your Appetite: Stimulate the Rangu Point

Many people lose their appetite when depressed, angry, tense, or sick. Massaging the Rangu point on the arch of the foot can immediately promote your appetite!

◎ The Secret to Increasing Libido: The Human Viagra, Guanyuan Point

The Guanyuan point is located three inches below the navel. Like a valve for the body, it is where men store essence and women store blood. Moxibustion on this point can make a person energetic—it's the body's "sexual wellness" acupoint!
