If the meridians are not smooth, there will be many diseases. How to open up the meridians and be full of qi and blood?

Traditional Chinese medicine takes qi and blood as the core, especially qi as the foundation, and Baduanjin came into being. This kind of gymnastics used to regulate the internal organs, qi and blood, restore metabolic function, and strengthen the body, has always been deeply loved by people, and is compared to a beautiful brocade, with a total of eight movements, hence the name Baduan brocade.

01

How long does it take to practice Baduanjin to open up the meridians?

It varies from person to person, so you can feel it slowly.

Baduanjin belongs to fitness qigong, does not belong to the category of martial arts, and can not achieve the effect of "opening up the two veins of Ren Du and practicing peerless martial arts", mainly through the adjustment of breathing, physical activity and consciousness as a means to achieve the purpose of strengthening the body, preventing and curing diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the blockage of the meridians of the human body is easy to cause pain, and after opening up the meridians, it can dispel various evil qi such as wind, cold, dampness, phlegm, and stasis, so that the qi, blood and various nutrients can operate normally in the meridians and reach the five internal organs of the human body, and maintain the energy balance of the limbs and bones, the five senses and nine orifices, and the whole body will be relaxed and will not get sick easily.

In other words, when you practice Baduanjin and feel that your body has become better, it is the process of slowly opening up the meridians.

02

How long does it take to get wet after practicing Baduanjin?

It is generally recommended to take a shower 0.5-1 hour after practicing Baduanjin, and if you just wash your hands and face, you can do it at any time.

Because washing your face and washing your hands is only a small area of your body that comes into contact with water, and it doesn't affect anything. However, after practicing Baduanjin, due to the sweating of the body, it is not possible to take a bath immediately, and the pores are completely open at this time, regardless of whether the water is cold or hot, it is easy to let moisture enter the body, which will affect the body functions. In the long run, this will cause damage to bones and joints.

03

How long can I eat after practicing Baduanjin?

After 0.5-1 hour.  

Because when you just finish practicing Baduanjin, because the blood is mostly concentrated in the limb muscles and respiratory system, and the digestive organs have relatively little blood, the digestion and absorption capacity is poor, and the digestive function can gradually return to normal after a period of adjustment.
