Active points of the manual channel of the liver
The outer course of the liver meridian begins on the inner side of the 1st toe, passes along the inner surface of the foot, lower leg, thigh, goes to the midline of the abdomen and from there follows to the 6th intercostal space.
The internal course of the meridian from the intercostal space follows through the stomach, liver and gallbladder. One branch of the meridian from the liver goes into the chest cavity, then to the throat, pharynx, passes the frontal and parietal regions. The second branch of the canal from the liver goes to the lungs.
The meridian includes 14 outer points. Main points: exciting point - 8 Qu Quan , calming point - 2 Xing-jian , pain point - 6 Chung-doo ... The channel is centrifugal, that is, energy moves from the periphery to the center. The time of maximum activity is from 01 to 03 a.m.

| General information on treatment. Since the kidney meridian ^ is an energetic antagonist of the urinary bladder meridian, when it is sedated (inhibited), the energy in the bladder meridian increases, and when toned, it decreases. Therefore, by acting on the kidney meridian, all diseases of the urinary bladder meridian can be alleviated. In addition, by influencing the energy potential of the meridian ['diseases of the kidneys, adrenal gland, bones, bone marrow, biochemistry
'mic changes in the nerve cells of the brain (functional changes are treated by acting on the meridian of the heart), biochemical changes in the hair, dental pathology, all [^ gynecological diseases, male impotence, emissions, diseases of the ears and hearing aid, pathology of the organ [balance located in the inner ear (dizziness, nausea). By influencing the meridian, it is possible to cure the functional pathology of the “three sphincters”: the urethra (enuresis or difficulty urinating), “vagina (prolapse of the vagina), anus (prolapse of the rectum, difficult act of defecation).
Excess energy in the kidney meridian causes the following "diseases: insomnia (50%), gynecological diseases (50%), migraine in women (70%), rheumatism (40%), painful emissions (50%), bedwetting (enuresis, 80%), ishuria ^ (40%), hypotension and hypertension, diseases of the inner ear ^ (catarrhal otitis, hearing loss, tinnitus, 80%), imbalance and dizziness, many other diseases. Hypotension and hypertension occur when energy imbalance in the liver meridian (proteinaceous, oncotic etiology), in the kidney meridian (endocrine and saline, osmotic etiology) and in the pericardial meridian, which controls the tone of small vessels (vascular etiology). Using the following rules, you can treat those borderline states of psi- ; Hickey, which occur with a pathological symptom of increased mental and physical endurance of a person and Abuse of these qualities by a person.

Ancient Chinese philosophy under the word "health" understands the harmonious distribution of QI energy along 12 paired (left and right) meridians of the body. Diseases violate energy harmony, which is expressed in the emergence of an excess of energy in one meridian with an obligatory lack of it in the other. The disease can be cured only through a decrease in the energy level in the meridian with an excess of energy and an increase in the amount of energy in the meridian with its lack. Ancient Chinese medicine has developed a list of laws to create energy balance in the body. This chapter is devoted to the description of these laws.
Daily cyclicity of energy movement along the meridians
In ancient Chinese medical philosophy, it is said about the existence of two cycles of movement of Chi energy along 12 acupuncture channels: daily and annual. Let us give a brief summary of the doctrine of the daily cycle of energy.
1. Daily movement of energy.
Energy passes through 12 meridians per day. Its excess does not fill all the channels, but every 2 hours it flows into one of them. The movement of energy begins from the meridian of the lungs, where it stays from 3 to 5 am. Further, the meridians of the large intestine (from 5 to 7 a.m.), stomach (from 7 to 9), spleen (from 9 to 11), heart (from 11 to 13), small intestine (from 13 to 15), and the bladder are oversaturated with energy. (from 15 to 17), kidney (from 17 to 19), pericardium (from 19 to 21), three heaters (from 21 to 23), gallbladder (from 23 to 1) and liver (from 1 to 3 a.m.) ... See table 2.
The daily cycle of movement of CHI energy. Table 2.
| Time of day, hours | 3 - 5 | 5 - 7 | 7 - 9 | 9 - 11 | 11 - 13 | 13 - 15 | 15 - 17 | 17 - 19 | 19 - 21 | 21 - 23 | 23 - 1 | 1 - 3 |
| Meridian with excess chi energy | P | GI | E | RP | C | IG | V | R | MC | TR | VB | F |
| Lack of CHI Meridian | V | R | MC | TR | VB | F | P | GI | E | RP | C | IG |
Figure 24. The daily cycle of energy movement along 12 standard meridians.
Figure 25. The sequence of the connection of the meridians in the daily cycle.
Since the energy carries out a cycle per day, then from the last meridian of the liver it passes to the first meridian of the lungs at 3 am. The daily cycle of energy can be represented by the following formula:
→ → R → GI → E → RP → C → IG → V → R → MC → TR → VB → F → →
→ → P → ………………………………………………………… .. → F → →
Excess energy simultaneously moves along two closed curves - along the 12 meridians of the right and left sides of the body. In fact, an excess of energy arises in two meridians at once: the left and right meridians of the lungs, the left and right meridians of the stomach, etc. If the meridians are designated on the hour dial, the hand of the clock will show the movement of the excess energy in a circle. See Figure 24. If you extend the arrow to the opposite side from the axis of rotation, it will point to the meridian, which at this time has a lack of energy. If the meridians are combined into pairs (a meridian with a deficit and an excess of energy), then the movement of energy will have the form shown in the figure.
2. The physical reason for the movement of energy.
The existence of a daily cycle of movement of biocurrents in the human body can be explained as follows. Astrophysics has proven that the Sun has a positive electric charge, since its plasma is 100% positively charged protons (p +). The human body has a negative electrical charge, since its surface is saturated with electrons (e -), which are continuously produced by biological generators of electricity. The positive electric charge of the Sun constantly attracts negative charges located on the surface of the human body. Attraction creates an increased concentration of charges (free, static electrons) on the surface of the human body in the place closest to the Sun. All people are on the surface of the Earth, and the Earth makes a daily rotation around its axis in 24 hours. Let's conduct observation from a long distance (from the side of the North Pole of the Earth) for a rotating and motionless person. Man stands at the equator and rotates with the Earth. In the morning During work, a person stretches his arms towards the Sun, and the charges of his body are concentrated in the meridians of the hands. Therefore, in the morning the largest number of electrons is absorbed by the tame meridians. On midday The sun is overhead and the charges are concentrated in the head and arms. At the same time, the lack of electrons will exist in the leg meridians. In the evening The sun shines on the back and legs, where the highest concentration of static electrons is concentrated. At night the legs are directed towards the sun, therefore, electrons will concentrate in the legs, and the leg meridians will do the greatest work of absorbing electrons. At the same time, the amount of static electricity in the head and hands will be low. The attraction of the solar electric field carries out the daily rotation of static electrons (energy) inside the human body. This is how physics can explain the occurrence of the daily cycle of movement of electrical energy.
3. The reason for the movement of energy along the meridians.
Electrons along a conductor, which is the human body, can move from one part of the body (from one meridian) to another, if an excess of electrons is created in one, then in the other - their lack. According to traditional views, the QI energy can move from the lung meridian P to the large intestine meridian GI and further in a circle. Consequently, the meridian of the lungs must have an excess of electrons (electrically positive), then the meridian of the large intestine, to which the currents are directed, must have a deficit of electrons (electronegative). After a while, the energy fills the large intestine meridian. It acquires an excess of electrons, becomes electropositive, and the neighbor meridian (E) turns into electronegative (P– - GI + –– E -). From the large intestine meridian GI energy is transferred to the stomach meridian E and then in a circle. The daily excess of energy changes the electric potential of each meridian twice: once it makes it electropositive, the other time it makes it electronegative. If we abstractly represent the daily cycle of CHI energy, then the electric potential of the meridians will consist of an alternation of excess and lack of electrons (CHI energy). So, every 2 hours there is a natural disturbance of the energy balance (balance) in one of the 12 meridians. In one meridian there is an excess of energy, in another, located nearby - a deficiency. The rest of the meridians in a healthy body at this time have a normal amount of energy, "are electrically neutral." The rotation of the Earth around its axis causes a daily circulation of energy inside the human body.
4. How does modern electrophysiology explain the daily cycle of energy movement?
Unfortunately, modern physics does not find facts confirming the existence of the daily cycle of biocurrents. Electrical appliances do not notice the flow of excess energy into one or the other meridian. The devices do not register a periodic increase or decrease in the activity of acupuncture points of the corresponding meridian at a certain time. For example, according to traditional views, from 7 to 9 o'clock in the morning, an excess of energy should have a stomach meridian E and a deficiency - a pericardial meridian MS. However, the instruments do not register these changes. Is the doctrine of the meridians and the daily cycle of energy movement through them “dead”, invented by ancient acupuncturists for the convenience of selecting acupuncture points? Maybe modern electrical appliances are not sensitive enough? Maybe measurements should be made with subcutaneous electrical contacts, and not remove the potential from the skin surface at the place where the acupuncture canal passes? Future medicine will provide answers to all these questions. There is no electrophysical evidence for the existence of internal meridians at all. Modern science can represent internal meridians only in the form of "trajectories" of movement of ballast biocurrents inside a living organism. Changes in the flow of electrons inside the human body and the long stay of electrons on the skin are poorly understood. This problem is also waiting for its researchers.
5. An example of energy movement.
Consider, for example, the sequence in which the internal and external meridians of the heart (C) and small intestine (IG) are located. See Figure 25. The spleen-pancreas (RP) meridian ends at RP.21. From it begins the internal meridian "Great Yin", which permeates many internal organs and connects the meridians of the spleen RP and heart C. The RP.21 acupuncture point is located in the sixth intercostal space at the intersection with the mid-axillary line. The inner meridian of the spleen begins from this place. According to traditional views, the deep branch of the meridian enters the abdominal cavity in the lower abdomen, goes to the spleen, pancreas and stomach. Then it branches in two directions. The first branch rises along the esophagus to the base of the tongue. The second branch departs from the pancreas, crosses the diaphragm and goes to the heart. This is the "trajectory" of the inner meridian "Great Yin", which belongs to the meridian RP. The internal branch of the heart meridian C begins from the heart. It is a continuation of the internal channel of the spleen RP. Immediately after leaving the heart, it divides into three branches. One of the branches passes the diaphragm and goes to the small intestine. The other goes along the inner surface of the body to the eyes. The third branch of the meridian from the heart goes to the skin of the armpit, where the first point of the outer meridian of the heart is located C.1. This is the "trajectory" of the internal meridian "Great Yin" belonging to the meridian of the heart C. Further, the biocurrents pass in a thin stream along the points of the heart meridian from C.1 to C.9, that is, they go along the arm from the armpit to the terminal phalanx of the 5th finger brushes. On the little finger, there is an end-to-end connection of the meridians of the heart and small intestine. The first point of the small intestine meridian IG.1 also begins on the little finger. Further biocurrents pass in a thin stream along the points of the "manual" meridian of the small intestine from IG.1 to IG.19 (the latter is located near the ear).
According to traditional views, the inner collateral of the small intestine meridian starts from the point IG.15, which is located at the inner edge of the scapula. The energy is first directed to the point of the posterior median meridian T.14, from where it penetrates into the chest cavity and is divided into two branches. One of them goes along the esophagus to the heart and then through the diaphragm reaches the stomach and small intestine. Another deep branch of the meridian rises along the neck to the ear and further to the inner corner of the eye. This is the "trajectory" of the inner meridian "Great Yang", which belongs to the small intestine. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe inner corner of the eye (at point V.1), the internal meridians of the small intestine IG and the bladder V are connected.
6. Electrical diagram of the movement of energy along the meridians. The described scheme of the daily cycle is presented in a simplified form. Due to the fact that the "adjacent" meridians are connected not only according to the "end-beginning" principle, but also through the internal meridians, significant complications of the scheme arise. Meridians consist of two parts: inner and outer. The part of the meridian that is located on the surface of the body and consists of acupuncture points refers to the outer part of the canal. The second part passes through the internal organs of the body and is called internal. Internal channels indicate the approximate directions of movement of ballast biocurrents inside the body. Some meridians originate from internal channels (P, E, C, V, MC, VB), while others, on the contrary, end in internal channels (GI, RP, IG, R, TR, F). In relation to the location of the inner part of the meridian course, they can be divided into centrifugal and centripetal. Centrifugal meridians end with internal meridians, centripetal meridians begin with them. Let's draw general conclusions on the movement of energy in the daily cycle.
1. On the extremities (fingers and toes), the meridians are connected end-to-end. These are hand-to-hand and leg-to-leg meridian connections.
2. The connection of the meridians on the head and on the trunk occurs through the internal meridians. This is a hand-to-foot, foot-to-hand relationship.
3. Ancient Chinese doctors gave specific names to all internal meridians: large (or great) yang and yin, small yang and yin, etc. See Figure 25.
7. In acupuncture, the law of daily movement of energy plays a very important role.
All existing laws in zhen-chiu therapy are derived from the sequence of meridian connections. These are the laws "noon-midnight", "mother-son", "husband-wife", etc. Without their knowledge, it is impossible to carry out "energy" treatment.
Thanks to the daily cycle of energy movement, acupuncturists determine the time of the most effective treatment of the disease. For example, if a disease has arisen from an excess of energy in the stomach meridian E, then treatment is recommended from 7 to 9 am. At this time, a “natural” daily excess is added to the “pathological” excess of energy. During this period of the day, all the symptoms of the disease are aggravated, pain intensifies, gastric bleeding, vasospasm, etc. may occur. Treatment has a greater therapeutic effect if it is carried out taking into account the time of day when a “double” excess (or deficiency) occurs in the body energy. Another practical application of the daily cycle is acupuncture diagnostics. If some disease periodically exacerbates from 7 to 9 in the morning, then we can say with confidence that it arose from an excess of energy in the stomach meridian E and due to a lack of energy in the pericardial meridian of the MS, etc.
The next conclusion, which follows from the law of the daily movement of energy, is that simultaneously all people living in the same time zone (on the same meridian of the Earth) have an excess and lack of energy in the same acupuncture channel. This imbalance of energy is held for 2 hours in each separate meridian.
Annual cyclical movement of energy along the meridians
In addition to the daily (24-hour), in the theory of Chinese acupuncture, there is an annual cycle of energy movement (12-month cycle).
1. Annual energy circulation.
The movement of Chi energy along the 12 meridians throughout the year is reflected by ancient Chinese medicine in the teachings of the Five Elements (Wu-Xing teachings). This system arose from the fusion of medical science at that time (II century BC) in the form of acupuncture (zhen-chiu therapy) and the philosophy of Confucianism. The ancient philosophers argued that the entire world around us consists of various concentrations of five main elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. According to their concept, if you mix these elements in different proportions, you can get the whole material world of the Universe, including living beings. Chinese physicians have adapted the theory of the Five Elements to explain the relationship between the "life channels" from acupuncture points (jin-lo). In addition, they supplemented the concept of "elements of nature" with medical content. See Figure 26 and Table 3... According to this medical and philosophical theory, the energy of CHI makes a cycle in 12 standard meridians (channels) per year. Since there are 12 months a year and 12 vital channels, every month an excess of energy fills one of the jin-lo channels.
Energy moves in a circle from one “element” to another, for example, from the element “tree”, which is combined with the concepts: spring, wind, arising (birth), green color, sour taste, anger. The “tree” element combines two meridians: gallbladder VB and liver F. These two meridians are in a state of energetic antagonism in relation to each other. If an excess of energy occurs in the meridian of the gallbladder, then immediately there is a lack of energy in the meridian of the liver and vice versa. Then the energy moves clockwise, i.e. leaves the “tree” element and flows into the “fire” element, which has the following philosophical and abstract definitions: summer, heat, the greatest development, red color, bitter taste, joy. In relation to the vital channels, the element "fire" has one peculiarity. There are five basic elements, and for each element there is one pair of life channels. Therefore, the WU-XIN system can unite only 10 meridians. But there are 12 meridians. Considering this, the ancient doctors endowed the element "fire" with two pairs of meridians. The first (main) pair: the small intestine meridian IG and the heart meridian C. The second (additional) para-meridian of the three heaters (three body cavities) TR and the pericardium of the MC. In each pair, the meridians are in a state of energetic antagonism to each other. From the element "fire" energy penetrates into the element "earth", which has the following properties: end of summer, humidity, change, yellow color, sweet taste, reflection. The earth element does not actually have its own season of the year. The fact is that there are five elements, and the seasons of the year - four (spring, summer, autumn, winter). Therefore, the season is defined for it in the form of "end of summer". The element "earth" corresponds to a pair of meridians: spleen-pancreas RP and stomach E. These meridians are also in a state of energetic antagonism. From the “earth” element, the energy passes into the “metal” element, which has the following philosophical and abstract properties: autumn, dryness, wilting, white color, pungent taste, melancholy. It corresponds to a pair of meridians, which consists of the lungs meridian P and the large intestine meridian GI. These two meridians are in energetic antagonism.
Figure 26. The annual cycle of energy movement along 12 meridians.
From the element “metal” energy flows into the element “water”, which has the properties: winter, cold, disappearance, black color, salty taste, fear. The element corresponds to a pair: the kidney meridian R and the bladder meridian V. They are also energy antagonists. From the “water” element, the energy again passes to the “tree” element, and the cycle repeats. According to traditional views, every year the Chi energy makes one "revolution" along the Five Elements, and consequently, along the Six pairs of meridians, that is, along 12 "vital" channels. Parallel to how spring turns into summer, summer into autumn, autumn turns into winter, and winter - again into spring, there is a transfer of excess energy from one meridian to another. During the year, energy passes alternately 12 meridians, which are connected to each other and form a closed curve. How many years a person lives, so many times the excess energy makes circular movements along the 12 meridians of the right and left half of the body.
It should be noted that measurements with sensitive electrophysical devices do not confirm the seasonal movement of the “excess of CHI energy” (biocurrents). The intensity of electro-absorbing points on the surface of the human body for all meridians does not change either in summer or in winter. The current state of electrophysiology cannot confirm the existence of an annual cycle of movement of excess energy. However, categorically declaring the absence of such, apparently, is premature, because acupuncturists, based on this teaching, heal many diseases. More research is needed.
2. Laws of connection of meridians within the "elements" and between them.
So, the movement of QI energy from one "element" to another has a logical basis. At the same time, if we trace the sequence of the flow of QI energy from meridian to meridian, then insoluble contradictions arise in the system, which force us to change a significant part of the structure of the teachings of the Five Elements. There is no particular difficulty in explaining the movement of energy between the two meridians that make up the "element". These meridians are connected end-to-end in the area of \u200b\u200bthe fingers and toes. For example, the meridians of the earth element (stomach E and spleen RP) are connected at the toes. The stomach meridian E brings energy to the foot (it is the centrifugal meridian), since the first point E.1 is located on the head, and the last point E.45 is localized on the second toe. The first point of the spleen meridian, RP.1, is located on the first toe, and the last point, RP.21, on the lateral surface of the chest.
The meridian conducts energy from the periphery of the body to the center and is centripetal. A short segment connecting the meridians of the stomach and spleen is 2 cm long and connects the first and second toes. The meridians of the elements "water" (bladder V and kidney R) and "tree" (gall bladder VB and liver F) are connected in a similar way on the foot of the leg. The meridians of the “metal” elements (lungs P and large intestine GI) and two pairs of meridians of the “fire” element (small intestine IG and heart C, three heaters TR and pericardium MS) merge in the same way on the hand. The connection of all 6 pairs of meridians that make up the five elements in the WU-XIN system is subject to four main laws. See Figure 26.
1. Inside the “element”, either two “foot” or two “hand” meridians are interconnected. The "foot" meridians are those that begin or end at the feet of the feet (E-RP, V-R, VB-F). To "tame" are those that begin or end on the hands (P-GI, IG-C, TR-MS). The places of their connection are the hands and feet.
2. Inside the "element" yang and yin meridians are connected. The outer (yang meridians) include E, V, VB, GI, IG, TR, and the inner (yin meridians) - RP, R, F, P, C, MC.
3. Inside the "element" centrifugal meridians are connected with centripetal ones, and not vice versa. Energy arrives at the junction along the centrifugal meridians (E, V, VB, P, MC, C), and leaves it along the centripetal ones (GI, IG, TR, RP, R, F).
4. Inside the "element", the meridians are connected end-to-end on the fingers and toes. The distance between the end of one and the beginning of the other meridian does not exceed 1 - 20 cm.
Absolutely opposite laws of joining the meridians of two neighboring "elements".
1. Between the "elements", the meridians are connected by means of the "foot" and "hand" meridians. The junction is the torso or head.
2. Between the "elements", the meridians are connected using yin-yin or yang-yang connections.
3. Between the "elements" the centripetal meridians are docked with the centrifugal ones, and not vice versa. Energy comes to the junction (body) along the centripetal meridians and leaves it along the centrifugal ones, which are directed to the limbs.
4. Between the "elements", the meridians are connected by two long internal meridians. The length of each inner meridian is approximately 100 cm. The outer part of the centripetal meridian ends at the torso or head. From these areas, the internal paths of the centripetal meridians begin, which penetrate into many organs, muscles, ligaments, and bones. In some place of the chest or abdominal cavities (near the heart, stomach, etc.), the internal centripetal meridian connects with a similar collateral of the centrifugal meridian, which also has a length of about 1 meter, penetrates many organs and tissues and "emerges" to the surface of the body in the head or trunk area. From this point, the outer part of the centrifugal meridian begins, passing through the skin acupuncture points. Therefore, between the "elements" (earth-metal, metal-water, water-wood, etc.), the meridians are connected by internal paths of the centripetal and centrifugal meridians.
After the laws of connection of the meridians within the "elements" and between them have been determined, it is possible to construct a closed curve of the movement of the CHI energy along all the meridians in the annual cycle. According to the traditional concept, in all cases, the QI energy is born and begins its movement from the lung organ along the lung meridian. The inner meridian begins from the lungs, which "emerges" to the surface of the body in the area of \u200b\u200bthe outer edge of the clavicle. The lung meridian runs along the inner side of the hand up to the 1st finger. Further, the energy continues to move along the large intestine meridian GI, which begins on the 2nd finger. It carries energy to the head and connects the long inner part of its meridian with the meridian of the bladder. See Figure 26... This meridian carries energy to the foot, where it connects "end to end" with the kidney meridian R. In all the cases described, the connections of the meridians strictly obey the laws.
3. In the concept of Wu-Xing, an absolutely insoluble contradiction of energy movement exists between the elements “water” (bladder V and kidney R) and “tree” (gall bladder VB and liver F). The connection of the meridians of the elements "water" (V-R) and "tree" (VB-F) cannot be carried out without violating the laws of existence of only five elements. It is necessary that there are six elements. It can, of course, be assumed that the energy from the kidney meridian R moves further along one of the channels of the “tree” element, i.e. along the meridian of the liver F or gallbladder VB. However, this cannot happen without gross violation of the relevant laws. The energy from the kidney meridian R, as a rule, can never be transferred to the liver meridian F for two reasons:
a) Between the metal-wood elements, the meridians should be connected using the foot and hand channels. The R kidney meridian is foot and the F liver meridian is also foot, so they are incompatible for energy transfer between elements.
b) Between the "elements" centripetal meridians dock with centrifugal ones. However, both meridians (kidney and liver) are centripetal. The kidney meridian transfers energy from the foot to the anterior surface of the chest. The liver meridian also carries energy from the foot to the front surface of the chest. In the chest cavity, a connection of the internal meridians of the kidneys and the liver can never form, since the liver meridian will not be able to receive energy from the kidney meridian and continue its movement in a circle, since both meridians "pour" energy into the chest cavity.
The connection of the kidney meridian R with the gallbladder meridian VB is also impossible:
a) Between the "elements", the meridians must be connected using the foot and hand canals, and the kidney and gallbladder meridians belong to the foot canals.
b) Between the "elements" the meridians should be connected using yin-yin or yang-yang connections. The kidney meridian belongs to the yin, and the gallbladder - to the yang channels. Therefore, their interaction is also contrary to the laws.
So, with a detailed study of the movement of energy from the meridian to the meridian in the annual cycle, it can be seen that its transfer from the element "water" to the "tree" is impossible. In this section of the chain, there is a break in the "inter-element" energy connections. Not a single case of violation of the law of movement of energy from the meridian of the gallbladder to the kidneys is observed. But the movement of energy after the meridian of the kidneys, the founders of the system of the Five Elements "failed".
In addition, another difficulty arises in the system of Five Elements - one pair of meridians, consisting of the meridian of three heaters TR and the pericardium of the MC, is excluded from the annual cycle of energy movement. If you strictly follow the rule of Wu-Xing on the movement of energy from one "element" to another, then it is necessary to recognize that there is a break in the energy transfer between the elements "water" and "tree". With the least damage to the Five Elements system, these contradictions can be eliminated if we imagine that a pair of meridians of three heaters and pericardium (TR-MS) is located between the elements “water” (V-R, winter) and “tree” (VB-F, spring). See Figure 26. At the same time, all the laws of the movement of energy along the meridians come into line, However, the order of the location of the seasons of the year is violated. The meridians TR and MC in the traditional U-XIN system refer to the element "fire" and to the summer season. In the modified system, they are located in the season that can be called the “end of winter”, and then they cease to be related to the “fire” element.
Unfortunately, in the end it is necessary to state the fact of the imperfection of the doctrine of the Five Elements. Many acupuncturists have drawn attention to the contradictions described above. However, most of them believed that, despite logical errors, imperfections and contradictions, the reasoning in acupuncture should continue to be based on the old traditional WU-XIN system. This is the position of dogmatists in acupuncture. The author has a different opinion. He believes that the improvement of any system of views, including the teachings of Wu Xing, will only be beneficial.
4. Correction of mistakes of the old traditional system of Five Elements (WU-XIN).
As shown by theoretical studies, it is required to revise the sequence of the meridian location during the annual circulation of energy. The ideal annual cycle is shown in the figure. See Figure 26.It shows the circular movement of energy. In expanded form, the annual cycle is shown in the figure. If we compare it with a similar recording "in a line" of the daily cycle, then we can say that only the connections of pairs of meridians in their element (P - GI, E - RP, C - IG, etc.) remained unchanged. However, the combination of pairs of meridians in a diurnal cycle is different from the combination of meridians in an annual cycle. The connections of the inner meridians under the name Lesser Yin (R - MS) and Lesser Yang (TR - VB) remained the same in the two cycles.
The movement of energy throughout the year is carried out along the 12 meridians of the right and left halves of the body simultaneously. ChI energy is retained in each meridian for one month. See table 2. If you build an annual cycle, taking into account the amendments that are proposed above, then each meridian will correspond to a certain month. According to the table, two winter months (December, January, February) correspond to three meridians V, R, MC, which in these months alternately have an excess of energy. At the same time, their energy antagonists have a lack of energy. In the spring months, a natural excess of energy occurs alternately in the meridians TR, VB, F. In the summer, a natural excess of energy occurs alternately in the meridians C, IG, E. In the autumn months, a natural excess of energy appears alternately in the meridians RP, P, GI.
It should be emphasized that without correction (in the form of transferring a pair of TR - MC meridians into the interval between the elements "water" and "tree") the correct relationship between the month and its own meridian will not work. If we ignore the existence of a break in energy transfer from the kidney meridian R to the pair of meridians VB - F, then the following contradiction will arise. In the summer season, there will be two pairs of meridians IG - C and TR - MC of the "fire" element. Then four meridians will correspond to three summer months, and the remaining 8 meridians must be distributed over nine months. It is possible to make further compromises for the sake of preserving the ancient Chinese system U-XIN: transfer one of the four meridians "fire" (summer) to the element "tree" and combine it with the spring month (May) or with the autumn month (September). In addition, the question arises about the sequence of the 4 meridians. They can be arranged in the form TR - MS - IG - C (or MS) - TR - C - IG, which will correspond to the months May-June-July-August. However, they can also be arranged in the form IG - C -TR -MC (or C) - IG - MC - TR and combined with the same months. It is very difficult to prove the true order of the meridians in the "fire" element. There are other contradictions in the reunification of the meridians within the "fire" element.
In the system of the Five Elements, connections between elements are carried out according to the "hand-foot" or "foot-hand" type. At the same time, only hand-to-hand connection is possible between TR-MS and IG-C pairs, since all 4 meridians are hand. Do inter-meridional connections in the "fire" element require an exception? Since there are 4 options for connecting the four meridians of the "fire" element, the problem arises of their connection with the meridians of the neighboring elements - "tree" (VB-F) and "earth" (E-RP). At the same time, the laws should not be violated: you can combine yin-yin or yang-yang meridians, foot and hand meridians, centripetal only with centrifugal. Without going into details, we can conclude that some of the provisions of the teachings of the WU - SIN require theoretical revision. In order to maintain the condition of the circulation of energy in the system of the Five Elements, the sequence of energy movement along the meridians in the annual cycle should be as follows:
→ → (VB → F) → (C → IG) → (E → RP) → (P → GI) → (V → R) → (MC → TR) → →
→ → VB → ………………………………………………………… → TR → →
5. Five points of wu-shu.
The teachings of Wu Xing are also reflected in the corresponding characteristics of the acupuncture points. In each of the 12 meridians there are points corresponding to 5 elements (five points of wu-shu): fire, water, metal, earth and wood. For example, the meridian of the lungs, which itself belongs to the element "metal", has a point - "wood" -P.11, point - "fire" - P.10, point - "earth" - P.9, point - "metal" "-P.8 and point-" water "-P.5. There is a similar system of points in each meridian.
So, for 12 months, the excess energy fills one of the 12 meridians every month. According to the author, the zodiacal calendar most accurately reflects the annual movement of energy along the meridians. See table 2. The problem of the ratio of the seasons of the meridian leads to the alignment of two empirical sciences - acupuncture and astrology. As it was said, in acupuncture, psychological problems are reflected in the place where the spiritual state of a person is revealed throughout the year: summer (the element "fire") corresponds to joy, the end of summer ("earth") - reflection, autumn ("metal") - melancholy , in winter ("water") - fear, in spring ("tree") - anger.
These positions of acupuncture (chen-chiu therapy) can be supplemented and developed by combining it with astrology. For example, a person was born in the period September 23 - October 23, under the constellation Libra. In this month, the entire population of the Earth experienced a natural increase in energy in the lung meridian P and a decrease in energy potential in the large intestine meridian GI. According to the theory of WU-XIN, the pair of meridians P - GI refers to the element "metal". Based on acupuncture information, it is possible to predict which diseases in a given person may be chronic, which organs are most vulnerable. For "Libra" it is a disease of the lungs and colon. Therefore, you can develop a system of prevention, which a person must adhere to throughout his life. These measures, in turn, will lead him to longevity. Acupuncture is able to predict the "fate of health", astrology predicts the "fate of a person."
6. Destructive connections in the system of Five Elements (WU-XIN), the rules are "husband-wife".
Now let's look at the problem of destructive connections to which the elements obey: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. Primary sources about destructive connections say the following: the kidneys suppress the heart, the heart suppresses the lungs, the lungs - the liver, the liver - the spleen, the spleen - the kidneys. See Figure 26. This is the interaction of destructive bonds in the in-meridians. The yang-meridians oppress each other in the following order: the bladder suppresses the small intestine, the small intestine suppresses the large intestine, the large intestine oppresses the gallbladder, the gallbladder - the stomach, the stomach - the urinary bladder. The TR and MC meridians are also involved in destructive connections, since they are included, respectively, in place of the IG and C meridians.
Meridians can oppress (or tone up) each other due to the movement of biocurrents from one to another. To oppress means to take away energy, to excite - to saturate with energy. Therefore, the mechanism of destructive connections in yin - meridians can be represented as follows: kidneys R take energy away from heart C, heart - from lungs P, lungs - from liver F, liver - from spleen RP, spleen - from kidney R. In yang meridians, meridian of the bladder V takes away part of the biocurrents from the small intestine meridian IG, the small intestine - from the large intestine GI, the large intestine - from the gallbladder VB, the gallbladder - from the stomach E, the stomach - from the bladder V. We obtain the following sequence of depressing effects:
Yin - meridians: R ← С (or MS) ← P ← F ← RР ← R;
Yang - meridians: V ← IG (or TR) ← GI ← VB ← E ← V.
How can one meridian take away and the other transfer to it a part of the electric potential?
1. The transmission of electricity is possible when one meridian brings energy from the limbs to the body, while the other carries this energy from the same area to the limb. In other words, one meridian is centripetal, the other is centrifugal.
2. The transmission of electricity between the elements is possible only through the long inner parts of the meridians, which are located inside the head or torso. If the meridian is directed from the head (or torso) to the fingers of the limb (centrifugal), then the transition of its energy can only be to the meridian, which is paired with it. The lung meridian P in the hand area merges only with the large intestine meridian GI, the pericardial meridian (MC) only with the meridian of three TR heaters, the heart meridian (C) with the small intestine meridian IG. According to traditional views, other connections between the meridians are impossible on the foot, except for the connection of the stomach meridian E with the spleen RP, the gallbladder VB with the liver F, and the bladder V with the kidney R.
So, meridians do not have the ability to influence each other if they are both centrifugal or centripetal, or if they both carry energy to the hand or to the foot, and are not part of the traditional yin-yang pair. Taking these regularities into account, most of the yin and yang meridians cannot "oppress", take away energy from each other.
For example, a destructive connection cannot be realized and the kidney meridian R is not able to take away energy from the heart meridian (C) for the reason that the heart meridian begins in the armpit (C.1) and ends on the 5th finger of the hand (C.9 ). From there, according to the rule of destructive connections, this energy should go to the foot of the foot, where the first point of the kidney meridian R.1 begins. Meridian R runs along the inner surface of the leg to the chest, where it ends with point R. 27. The probability of an exact transfer of energy from the hand (C.9) to the foot (R.1) is zero. Therefore, if we accept the position that the destructive connection is carried out by the removal of energy (electrical potential) from the meridian, which is inhibited, then the relationship between the meridians of the kidneys R and the heart C should not exist either theoretically or practically.
The liver F and pancreas-spleen meridians RP begin at the foot and carry energy along the inner leg to the chest. Traditional acupuncture states that "the liver depresses the spleen," that is, the liver meridian takes energy from the spleen meridian. How can energy from one meridian penetrate into another, if both are centripetal? After all, then the energy will have to go through the following path: along the spleen meridian RP, it must pass from the foot to the chest, then return to the first toe, from where the liver meridian F begins, and again rise to the chest. Such a movement of biocurrents is hardly feasible.
Analyzing the rest of the destructive connections, we can conclude that the direct impact of some meridians on others cannot occur. If destructive connections exist, then they can manifest themselves through a complex (and still unknown) mediated mechanism, which includes several internal and external meridians in the "work". Therefore, it can be assumed that the effectiveness of these links is very low.
7. The annual cycle of energy movement is widely used in acupuncture. See table 3.
1. Calculation of the energy impact on the meridians in the treatment of chronic diseases is carried out on an annual basis. If the disease has an acute course and lasts less than 10 days, then the calculation is carried out according to the daily cycle.
2. The time of the most effective treatment is calculated according to the annual cycle. For example, if a patient has chronic pneumonia, then the effectiveness of treatment will be higher in October, when the lung meridian is in excess.
3. The annual cycle is used for acupuncture diagnostics. For example, if a patient's stomach ulcer worsens every year in August, then it can be argued that the disease proceeds with an excess of energy in the meridian of the stomach E.
4. Knowing that some meridians have a natural imbalance of energy at a certain time, it is possible to predict the onset of exacerbation of certain chronic diseases and to carry out preventive treatment. For example, in a patient with skin eczema (the disease proceeds with a lack of energy in the lung meridian), the onset of an exacerbation of the disease in November can be predicted.
5. It can be stated that there are two natural energy imbalances: daily and annual. With a daily cycle, the excess energy passes through all 12 channels in one day, and with an annual cycle, the excess energy passes through the same channels in 12 months. The two natural energy imbalances can be joined by an imbalance caused by illness. If an acute illness occurs, the energy imbalance in several meridians is maintained for 3-10 days. If a chronic disease occurs, the imbalance in certain meridians is maintained for many years (as long as the symptoms of the chronic disease appear). The point of acupuncture treatment is to eliminate pathogenic energy imbalances, but at the same time, the natural energy imbalance must remain in circulation.
The kidney meridian is one of the body's main energy channels. He is responsible for many functions, including the work of the entire genitourinary system. Its normal state is a guarantee that everything will be in order with your health, and this applies not only to the kidneys, but also to other systems, because the energy channels are interconnected, and a failure in one of them will necessarily affect others.
The traditions of Eastern medicine are 1000 years older than the origins of modern Western principles of treatment. Its principles and methods of influence have been worked out by hundreds of generations of doctors and spiritual practitioners, and it is on this incredible experience that the high efficiency of Chinese methods is based. It is enough to visit this country only once, to see how local pensioners look and feel, who are healthy and vigorous with minimal material well-being, to make sure that the eastern approach to maintaining and managing health is very effective.
According to the doctrines of oriental medicine, there are 14 main channels (meridians) through which human vital energy (Qi) flows. If this flow is uniform and harmonious, the person is healthy - a good mood and longevity is guaranteed to him. If a failure occurs, various diseases develop. The flow of energies can be controlled independently, by the power of thought and self-control. This is why yoga and meditation practices were originally developed. And we can see that now people who practice these activities, without even understanding the essence of what they are doing, have a level of health and longevity that is much higher than the average.
The main thing is to remember that there are failures of energy channels behind diseases. With this understanding, you can determine which meridian is damaged and what to do to restore balance.
Kidney meridian - Yin energy and work of the genitourinary system
The kidney meridian is a paired energy yin channel with the movement of energy directed to the center. Its maximum activity occurs from 5 to 7 pm, the minimum - from 5 to 7 am. The basis for influencing it is 27 key points with the help of which it is possible to regulate the basic functions of the organs connected with this energy channel.
Qing accumulates in the kidneys - a vital substance designed to support the functioning of the brain and spinal cord. They are also responsible for reproductive function, body growth, bone strength, water metabolism, as well as the absorption of Qi. The primary diagnosis of the kidney meridian is carried out through an examination of the ears in order to detect abnormalities, rashes, redness, etc. manifestations.
Energy in the kidney meridian flows through the outer and inner passages:
External - originates in the central fossa of the foot, then goes along its back side, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe heel bone makes a loop and rises along the back surface of the leg, reaching the zone where the kidneys are located and then rising to the chest. Ends just below the collarbone.
Internal - originates in the upper thigh, rises through the pelvis, intersecting there with the internal passage. Then it goes higher, passing next to the spine, making a loop and descending into the abdominal cavity, reaching the kidneys, where it branches and ends. One of the branches enters the organs of the genitourinary system, the second affects the lungs and heart.
As can be understood from the fact that in the course of the description almost all key organs were named, the importance of the kidney meridian for health is very great. That is why the practitioners of Chinese medicine always prioritize energy correction during energy correction.
The value of the kidney meridian
Eastern medicine says that the kidneys are the main reservoir of energy that ensures the body's performance. Its deficiency often causes discomfort, increased irritability, chronic insomnia ...
In addition, the kidneys control the entire skeletal system, and also regulates the body's ability to produce the fluids required to maintain vital functions. If various pathological processes are activated in the kidneys, this disrupts the flow of energy along the meridian, due to which, first of all, problems such as edema, polyuria, enuresis, etc. develop.
Also, the renal meridian is responsible for a number of characteristics of character and behavior, including willpower, sexual desire, determination. His pathologies can also affect the psyche - the development of fearfulness, impatience, uncertainty is likely ... For many people, these conditions are accompanied by recurrent tinnitus.
Signs of kidney meridian problems
Incorrect energy flow can manifest itself in two directions - insufficient or excessive excess of energy. The symptoms of these conditions vary. So, with redundancy, there is:
- darkening of urine and long intervals between urination;
- frequent nausea;
- heat in the legs and groin;
- dry mouth;
- lower back pain in the hips;
- excessive energy;
- increased potency.
In case of insufficiency, the following symptoms become relevant:
- increased sweating;
- increased urination;
- feeling of coldness, numbness, weakness in the legs and feet;
- general lethargy;
- sexual dysfunction.
Treatment methods
The basis of Chinese medicine is massage and acupuncture, which are quite effective when acting on the active points of the kidney meridian. When the symptoms described above appear, it is recommended to consult an oriental practitioner. You can also use modern microprocessor massagers of the series, which are capable of 100% accurately reproduce both massage and acupuncture effects. An important advantage of such devices is their focus on home use. In addition to eliminating the causes of the symptoms described above, the impact on the active points of the kidney meridian allows:
- treat chronic chest diseases and bronchial asthma;
- normalize the functions of the genitourinary system;
- normalize the function of the digestive system;
- fight neurasthenia and epilepsy;
- to normalize the state of the body with hypotension and hypertension.
The kidney meridian is often called the energy channel of life. Keep track of its condition and be healthy!

Kidney meridian
Kidney meridian
The kidney meridian (R) belongs to the system of yin-meridians, paired. The direction of energy in the meridian is centripetal. The maximum activity time is from 17:00 to 19:00, the minimum activity time is from 5:00 to 7:00.
According to Chinese tradition, the kidneys store qing (a vital substance for maintaining bone and spinal cord), control the continuation of growth, procreation, are in charge of bones and are the source of conception and growth, are responsible for water exchange and qi intake. Diagnostics of this meridian can be carried out according to the condition of the ears - by the presence of rashes, redness, etc.
According to the classical concept, the kidney meridian has internal and external passages (Fig. 17).
Figure: 17. Kidney meridian
The outer course of the kidney meridian originates in the center of the sole, in the fossa that forms when the toes are bent. Goes along the inner side of the foot, reaches the upper edge of the calcaneus, where the tai-si point is located. Then it goes down and back, to the middle of the inner side of the calcaneus, then goes below the inner ankle, posterior to the scaphoid, while forming a loop on the calcaneus. Then the meridian goes along the back-inner surface of the lower leg and thigh. From there it reaches the first point of the antero-median meridian, where the inner course of the meridian begins. Here the meridian goes inside the pelvic region and exits at the guan-yuan point. Further, the outer course goes independently along the abdomen, passes to the chest and ends in the subclavian fossa.
The inner path of the bladder meridian originates in the thigh area at the yin-gu point. It goes up, plunges into the pelvis through the chang-qian point, then rises up next to the spine and returns back to the heng-gu point, then along the outer surface of the abdomen it reaches the hua-shu point, enters the abdominal cavity, approaches the kidneys around the circumference and forks in the same place. After that, it goes through the uterus to the bladder and wraps around it in a spiral. The second branch starts from the point yu-men, enters the abdominal cavity, passes through the liver, goes up through the diaphragm and enters the lungs.
In ancient medical treatises, the kidney meridian was given great importance. It was believed that the kidneys are a storehouse of clean energy necessary for the activity of internal organs and intestines. After suffering long-term illnesses and serious operations, people often complain of the appearance of unpleasant visual sensations, irritability, insomnia, etc. According to oriental medicine, such phenomena are a consequence of the lack of clean energy of the kidneys.
The kidneys also control bone and bone marrow function, so bone growth, development and repair depend on the kidney's clean energy for bone marrow production. They control the kidneys and body fluids, and when pathological changes occur in them, diseases and symptoms such as edema, hypouria, polyuria, urinary incontinence, enuresis, etc. develop.
The kidney meridian controls certain personality traits such as willpower, determination, and sexual activity. In the case of kidney failure, people become inert, weak-willed, impatient, fearful, intractable, melancholic and insecure. In such cases, the legs become cold, the neck muscles tense, all this is accompanied by tinnitus.
The ears are the mirror of the kidneys, and the state of the auricle reflects the state of the kidney meridian. A soft, sluggish auricle is a sign of a lack of energy in the meridian. An elastic, elastic auricle is evidence of the normal state of the kidneys or an excess of energy in them.
According to Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the "roots of life." The points of the kidney meridian have a great influence on congestion in the chest with bronchial asthma. Using the points of the kidney meridian, it is possible to act on a number of menstrual disorders and on the genitourinary sphere in general. With acupressure of the kidney meridian points, the functions of the digestive system can be normalized. The lower points of the kidney meridian have an effect on epilepsy and neurasthenia. The use of renal meridian points is effective in the treatment of hypotonic and hypertensive conditions, in case of disorders of the cardiovascular system. Many points of the kidney meridian act on the sexual sphere and affect the adrenal glands, are used to treat disorders of the uterus, appendages, gallbladder, and throat diseases.
Redundancy signs: dark urine, rare urination, nausea, dry mouth, heat in the legs and a feeling of heaviness in them, feet feel warm, pain in the lumbar region, sacrum, inner thigh, increased potency, unusual surge of energy.
Signs of failure: profuse sweating, frequent urination, a feeling of coldness in the legs, the feet are cold to the touch, a feeling of weakness and numbness in the lower extremities, lethargy, weakness throughout the body, a feeling of indecision, fear, decreased sexual activity.
