Thumb: related to the lung canal
Index finger: associated with the large intestine
Middle finger: linked to the pericardium
Ring finger: connected to the triple heater (an energy function)
Pinky finger: heart canal
Back of the palms: related to the back
When these channels are unblocked, circulation flows properly and the body functions optimally.
Exercise to relieve the heart and cervical vertebrae
A simple exercise can help with mild heart problems and cervical stiffness:
Extend your arms forward, as if you were holding a glass in each hand.
Start turning both wrists inward 150 times.
Then, turn outward another 150 times.
This daily movement can immediately relieve discomfort in the neck and shoulders. If you can’t rotate your wrists, it may be a sign that there are heart problems or bowel difficulties.
Therapeutic blows to the arms and palms
Another simple method is to strike the point just above the crease of the elbow (inner part) with some firmness, alternating both arms about 150 times each. If you feel pain, it could indicate a heart disorder.
If you’ve spent a lot of time sitting and your back feels tense, tap the backs of your hands against each other. Being energetically connected to your back, this tapping can bring you relief.
The Six Leg Meridians
Like the hands, the legs have six channels:
Outer Leg:
Lateral midline: gallbladder canal
Front: Stomach canal
Backside: bladder canal
Inner leg:
Inner side: liver canal
Internal frontal area: spleen canal
Inner back: kidney canal
Exercise to improve circulation in the legs
To activate circulation in the legs:
Sit with your legs slightly elevated.
Rotate both ankles 150 times to the left and then 150 times to the right.
This movement can also be done in the morning, before you get out of bed. Like wrist exercise, it helps improve blood flow and stimulates the meridians.
A healthy habit for every day
These simple exercises, based on principles of Chinese medicine, not only improve circulation, but also promote longevity and overall well-being. They are ideal to practice every day as a natural way to take care of your health.
