Jing Well Meridian Points & Stroke Treatment

The Jing (Well) points are 1 of 5 of The Five Element Points (shu) of the 12 energy meridians. They are located on the fingers and toes of the four extremities. These points are thought to be where the Qi of the meridians emerges and begins moving towards the trunk of the body. These are of upmost importance in that these points can help restore balance within the energy flow throughout the human body. Jing Well Points.jpg

A study dated 03-09-2015 by the International Journal of Nursing & Clinical Practices posted results regarding:

Investigating the efficacy of stimulation at the Jing-Well points of meridians in advanced clinical practice.

Methods: Articles including English or Chinese keywords on the Jing-Well points of meridians published between 2001 and August 2012 were sourced from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. On the basis of these reports, we explored the modern applications, mechanisms, and efficacy of the Jing-Well points.

Results: Thirty-five related studies, published mainly in Chinese, were identified. Evidence was found to support the use of Jing-Well point stimulation in the treatment of stroke, persistent vegetative status, severe head injury, vascular dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, upper respiratory infection, bronchial asthma, hysterical aphonia, postpartum lactation insufficiency, fetal malpresentation, dysmenorrhea, acne, sudden deafness, sleeping disorders, and post-chemotherapy nausea and vomiting.

Conclusion: Diseases associated with the 12 meridians and meridional dermomeres can be treated by stimulating the related Jing-Well points. Stimulation of all the Jing-Well points can activate and restore function in the damaged brain. Rigorous high-quality trials are needed to improve the level of evidence on their effectiveness and safety.

Martial arts have long been known to have health benefits as well as the self-defense applications. My booklet below has many reflexology (acupressure) techniques as well as Qigong and other physical exercises to help prevent strokes as well as treatment for after suffering from stroke or other debilitating illnesses or injuries. I encourage personal instruction for these methods, but this study guide provides valuable information regardless.

Hip Problems and the Ignored Causes

This chiropractor has some very good information regarding hip problems and other issues related to poor posture, diet, lack of exercise and use of anti-inflammatories to relieve pain. If you have an hour or so and are serious about your health, watch the video. Believe him or not, do your own research and find out for yourself what you need to become or stay healthy. Some of his statements are hard to debate such as:

Body movement actually helps the body to heal and stay healthy
Eating healthier foods and fruits & vegetables with anti-inflammatory properties are better for the human body than Nonsteroidal anti–inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
That the body needs to be treated as a whole entity and not to treat just the symptoms but rather the root cause of health issues
