Stimulating acupuncture points can improve or cure diseases. In the West, acupuncture and acupressure are gradually gaining popularity. However, do meridians really exist in the human body? The scientific community has long had no answer. However, a study published by Harvard Medical School confirmed the existence of the “pericardium meridian,” one of the 12 meridians.
A 28-year-old Man’s Heart Issues Were Cured Within a Month
In January 2022, a 28-year-old man came to the clinic of Professor Jonathan Liu, registered acupuncturist.
This young man and his entire family had always been Professor Liu’s patients. He used to have a lot of energy and loved rock climbing. Not long ago, he contracted COVID-19. It started with a fever, coughs, and a sore throat. After he spent a while resting, most of his respiratory symptoms subsided. However, he was left with the sequelae of chest congestion and fluttering heartbeats (palpitations). When he exercised, his palpitations became more obvious.
The heart discomforts made it difficult for him rock climb as much as before, and he was very distressed.
After checking his conditions, Professor Liu found that he not only experienced palpitations during exercise, but also had psychological tension symptoms. So Professor Liu decided to treat him by starting from his pericardium meridian. Professor Liu needled his pericardium meridian and prescribed Chinese herbal medicine for him. In little more than two weeks, the young man’s heart symptoms were cured, and he was able to rock climb again.
Why were his heart problems cured by acupuncturing his pericardium meridian?
The word pericardium is derived from the Latin words “around (peri)” and “heart (cardium).” As its name implies, pericardium is the membrane enclosing the heart. It is the guard that protects the heart. And “meridian” can be interpreted as a “channel of energy.”
