Meridians are not real anatomical structures: scientists have found no evidence to support their existence. The main proponents of their existence have not reached any consensus on how they can work or be tested in a scientific context. The basic concepts of Meridian Networks tend to fall into two categories, jingmai (經脈) or meridian channels and luomai (絡脈) or related vessels (sometimes called liens). Jingmai contain 12 tendinomulary meridians, 12 divergent meridians, 12 main meridians, eight emergency vessels, and the Huato Canal, a set of bilateral dots on the lower back, the discovery of which is attributed to the ancient physician Hua Tuo. The pledges contain 15 major arteries that connect the 12 main meridians in various ways, in addition to interacting with their associated internal organs and other related internal structures. The security system also includes an extensive space of capillary vessels that spread throughout the body, namely in 12 maple regions, and also emanate from each point on the main meridians. If you calculate the number of unique points on each meridian, the total number reaches 361, which corresponds to the number of days per year, in the lunar calendar system. Note that this method ignores the fact that the bulk of acupoints are two-way, making the actual total 670. There are about 400 acupuncture points (not counting double-sided points), most of which are located along the main 20 paths (i.e. 12 primary and eight emergency channels). However, in the second century AD, 649 acupuncture points were recognized in China (according to the calculations of bilateral points twice). There are 12 main meridians where each meridian corresponds to either a gender or a solid organ; interact with it and extends along a certain limb (i.e. arms or legs). There are also eight emergency channels, two of which have their own set of dots and the rest of the connection points on other channels. The 12 standard meridians of 12 standard meridians, also called main meridians, are divided into Yin and Yang groups. Yin meridians of the hands of the lungs, heart and pericardia. Yan's meridians hand the large intestine, small intestine, and triple burner. Yin meridian legs of the spleen, kidneys and liver. Meridians Yang's feet stomach, bladder and gallbladder.

These eight additional meridians differ from the standard twelve organs meridians in that they are considered to be storage vessels or energy reservoirs and are not directly related to the ong fu, i.e. internal organs. These channels were first systematically mentioned in the Spiritual Axis of Chapters 17, 21 and 62, Classics of Difficulties Chapter 28 and 29 and Study 8 Emergency Vessels (Qi Jing Ba Mai Kao) Li Shi Chen 1578. 8 Unusual Vessels (奇經⼋脈; q'ng b'm'i): Conception Vessel (Ren Mai) - 任脈; Regulatory vessel Du Mai - 督脈; de mi penetrating vessel (Chong Mai) - 衝脈; Chang Mei Girdl (Dai Mai) - 帶脈; Mi-mi yin (Yin Wei Mai) - 陰維脈; Yang wai mei yang, linking the ship (Yang Wei Mai) - 陽維脈; eng wai mai yin Hil (Yin Chiao Mai) - 陰蹻脈; Yang Tsingyao mei Yang Hil Ship (Yang Xiao Mai) - 陽蹻脈; There is no scientific view on meridian theory of meridians: scientists have found no evidence to support their existence. Some avocados of traditional Chinese medicine believe that meridians function as electrical channels based on observations that the electrical influence of current through meridians is lower than in other areas of the body. A review of studies conducted in 2008 showed that the studies were of poor quality and could not support these claims. According to Stephen Novell, there is no evidence that meridians actually exist. Risking to sound redundant, they are as make up and fictional as ether, flogistum, big man, and unicorns. The National Health Fraud Board concluded that meridians are imaginary; their location does not apply to internal organs and therefore does not apply to human anatomy. The history of the Concept of meridians is first embodied in two works restored from the tombs of Mawandui and Changjiashan kingdom of Changsha, The Canon of Kauterization of eleven channels of legs and hands (⾜臂⼗脈灸經, zbyo Shii Myai Jiǔjīng) and the canon of the cauterization of eleven channels Yin and Yang (陰陽⼗脈灸經, Yanyang Shii Myi Jiǔjīng). In the texts, meridians are referred to as mei (脈) rather than as a yangmja.

  • Pressure Points for Self-Defense and Healing

    Pressure Points for Self-Defense and Healing

    Pressure Points for Self-Defense and Healing Laura Copenhaver Introduction A knowledge of the ancient Asian healing arts can be incredibly beneficial to a martial artist for both fighting and healing. An understanding of where the body is most susceptible to pain can give your techniques—be they holds, chokes, or strikes—an added impact. In addition, pressure point attacks impair the ability of your opponent and so give you a strong advantage. A knowledge of pressure points can also allow you to take care of your own injuries and the injuries of the people you train with. Familiarity and experience with these healing practices will make you a more valuable member of your dojo and a more fearsome opponent. This paper will discussing the origin of pressure point techniques and their applications in both healing and self-defense. Origins Five thousand years ago in China, when weapons consisted of stones, spears, axes and arrows, a curious discovery was made. Soldiers reported that when they were struck during battle in certain areas of their bodies, life long illnesses and maladies would suddenly vanish.1 This relationship between trauma 197 Pressure Points for Self-Defense and Healing and recovery helped lay the groundwork for the meridian based understanding of the body. Through trial and error, physicians of the time charted the points on the body that seemed to stimulate healing, relieve pain and regulate energy. A holistic method of hands-on healing then grew from this knowledge. Similar practices could also be found in India at around the same time, and some time later, in Japan.

    Mexican-American Folk Medicine: Implications for the Family Physician Alan P. Chesney, PhD, Barbara L. Thompson, MD, Alfredo Guevara, MD, Angela Vela, MD, and Mary Frances Schottstaedt, MD Galveston, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, and Atlanta, Georgia Literature on Mexican-American folk medicine and on Mexican-American utilization of conventional medical serv­ ices suggests that folk medicine and utilization of conventional medical services are related. This study reports on interviews with 40 Mexican-American families randomly selected from the community. The results indicate that choice of conven­ tional medical care and/or folk medicine is dependent upon the symptom, that families often use both folk and conventional medicine, that they are more likely to seek medical help for anxiety than for depression, and that knowledge of folk medi­ cine is best acquired by asking about specific folk diseases. These findings have application in family practice.

In both British Columbia, Canada and Talamanca, Costa Rica I investigated the motivations underpinning seeking trajectories structured around plant medicine and the experiences and critical reflections on these encounters made by healers and people who work with plant medicines. In this dissertation, I expose the contested space around understandings of efficacy and highlight the epistemological politics emphasized by participants who seek to de-center plants in popular therapeutic imaginaries, to bring out these tensions and the way they interpolate ideas about sustainability and traditional knowledge conservation.

The crude extracts of Garlic, Lemon, Onion and Lemon were filtered by sterilized Whatman filter paper No 1 under aseptic conditions. The filtered extracts and samples of Honey, Black seed oil, Olive oil, were tested for antibacterial effect by well diffusion technique and the zone of Inhibition was compared with standard antibiotics viz: Ampicillin, Chloramphenicol, Erythromycin, Cefoxitin, Penicillin, Streptomycin, Sulphafurazole, and Tetracycline. The zone of inhibition produced by the samples was compared with that of standard antibiotics. Honey was found to possess more antibacterial properties than any other antibiotic against E. coli, Micrococcus and Staphylococcus. Garlic was found to possess more antibacterial properties than any other antibiotic against Proteus, Micrococcus and Staphylococcus and it has better activity than Tetracycline and Sulphafurazole against Klebsiella. Lemon exhibited better antibacterial effect against Bacillus than Tetracycline. Honey, Garlic and Onion were able to inhibit Micrococcus effectively which was resistant to the all of antibiotics under study.

Published Online: Nov. 15, 2015 Abstract Background: The therapeutic use of camel urine has been known for centuries, with evidence of its use for medicinal purposes found in early folklore. It has been used to cure different diseases; however, the significant therapeutic benefits of urine have yet to undergo rigorous scientific evaluation. In this review, a summary of the scientific evidence that supports these therapeutic actions has been presented. Materials and methods: A literature search of different electronic databases including PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Knowledge, and Google Scholar were conducted to identify published studies exploring the therapeutic effects of camel urine. ‘Camel’ and ‘Urine’, ‘Medicinal properties’, ‘Natural products’ were entered into the databases as key words. Reference lists of published reviews retrieved by the search were also searched to identify relevant papers. Result: There have been several laboratory and limited clinical studies providing evidence of the therapeutic effects of camel urine in the treatment of cancer, viral hepatitis and other viral, bacterial and parasitic infections. Therapeutic uses in the cardiovascular system have also been discovered, with regard to platelet and fibrinolytic actions.

There is evidence to suggest its antimicrobial activity against some clinical pathogen. This in-vitro study aims to ex- plore the antimicrobial activity of CUD against a few oral pathogens, specifically periodontal pathogens namely, aggregatibacter actenomycetemcomitans (Aa), porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and prevotella intermedia (Pi). These are organisms that are present in plaque (a soft but tenacious substance that accumulates on our teeth every day) and can cause periodontitis. The in- vitro study attempted to determine the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of CUD as against chlorhexidine which is an established gold standard in oral antimicrobial agents and is routinely used in pre-procedural rinsing, routine oral hygiene regimens, post-operative maintenance regimes etc. The distillate was satisfactorily effective against Pg and Pi but showed little or no antimicrobial activity against Aa. If CUD is to be even considered a potential antimi- crobial agent for oral hygiene, a full battery of animal models, clinical trials and ethical issues need to be addressed.
