How to exercise when bladder meridian is blocked

The bladder meridian is the largest detoxification meridian in the human body. If the bladder tendons are blocked, it will often cause dampness to block the body and prevent the Yang Qi from gasifying. At this time, the bladder meridian can be unblocked through certain massages. Regular exercises to dredge the bladder meridian can help to detoxify, prevent constipation, promote physical health, and improve the body's immunity.

The main causes of bladder obstruction

Evil dampness blocks the body and prevents Yang Qi from being transformed into Qi. When the masseur performs massage, cupping or scraping on your back, you will feel as if a burden has been relieved on your back, which means that the Yang energy in our body has been stimulated. Similarly, moderate exercise can also achieve the effect of raising Yang energy, and sweating and vaporization will make you feel more relaxed.

How to exercise when bladder meridian is blocked

The bladder meridian is the largest detoxification channel in the human body. Other ways such as bowel movements, sweating through pores, and tracheal sputum discharge are also ways of detoxification, but they are all local and segmented, and finally they will be merged into the bladder meridian. To give an example, the bladder meridian is like the various sewage pipes in a city, which collect all kinds of sewage and finally converge into the bladder (sewage storage station) for discharge. Therefore, in order to remove toxins from the body, the bladder meridian must be unobstructed.

Since it is so important to keep the bladder meridian unobstructed, when and how should we move it in order to unblock it to the greatest extent? Here we have to mention a concept in traditional Chinese medicine - Ziwu Liuzhu. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture is based on the theory of "harmony between man and nature", which holds that human body functions and pathological changes are influenced by natural climate changes, time, etc. and show certain patterns. According to this law, choosing the appropriate time to treat the disease can achieve better results. Therefore, the ideas of “treating according to the time” and “acupuncture on time” were proposed. According to this theory, the best time to stimulate the bladder meridian should be 3 to 5 pm. This is the time when the bladder meridian is in season and the qi and blood are at their most active. If you can massage or move to activate the qi and blood and dredge the meridians, it will have a better health care effect on the human body. In particular, the bladder meridian is connected to the brain, so qi and blood can be easily transported to the brain, improving blood supply to the brain and improving learning and work efficiency.

Specific exercise methods

1. Sit up, stretch your legs, inhale and raise your hands above your head, exhale, use your arms to move your upper body forward and downward, your hands can touch your toes, hold for ten seconds, then inhale and use your hands to move your upper body back up.

2. Cradle position: lie flat on your back, bend your legs, hold your calves with both hands, and rock back and forth.
