We have four kinds of networks in our body
Blood Vessels
Lymphatic System
Nerve Network
Acupuncture Meridians
The Blood Vessels and the Lymphatic System are pipe-like networks used for transporting nutrients and other substances to the entire parts of the body. The other two are for conducting electrical impulses serving as messages from the stimulated points to the associated organs.
The Nerve System works just like a cable telephone system, the signals are transmitted through identifiable pathways. The Acupuncture Meridians, on the other hand, do not exhibit any real channels. The Meridians operate analogous to wireless telephone network; the messages from one point to another are delivered through the medium of flesh. No real passages are detected. Pressing one point on the foot can send the message to the kidney or other organs in the body. Isn’t that fantastic, before the wireless devices were invented our body had already performed such function. No wonder, our body is called a microcosmos.
There are many meridians in our body, but to master all of them before enabling us to do any treatment is not really necessary. I will start with the Spleen Meridian because this is the most essential thing to have our attention to. Most diseases are initiated from the negligence of doing proper maintenance of the organ. The Spleen is responsible for transforming food into nutrients and transporting them to every part of the body, with the help of blood vessels of course. Weak Spleen therefore will impede the functions of other organs and in return upset the balance of their teamwork.
Take care of your Spleen and it will take care of your health!
